Totally agree with your assesment, only Nesta I'd rate 7 - he made some clumsy mistakes.

At this point I think Ibra just needs a time out to get his head back on straight. Allegri simply should not have started him today, simple as

You can't blame him for the goal, I certainly don't. He also saved us a point at the end with a great save.

Same here. He had no fault in the goal. You're being too harsh, acid.

I didnt get a chance to watch the match, but I definitely can say that we deserve 3 points based on some comments here. The first half we dominated, yet conceded. Had there been better concentration and 100% dedication from all the lads, we would have left HT with at least a one goal advantage. The second half, yellow cards coupled with a Cassano lifeline was all we could manage; despite us being a more technically gifted side.

The Rossoneri drew with Bari, missing the chance to extend their lead over Inter to 7 points. Coach Allegri’s team dominated the whole second half and as a result equalised with Cassano in the 82nd minute, but couldn’t find the winner. There’s an air of disappointment in the Milan dressing room, but the Rossoneri still have a 5-point advantage ahead of the chasing pack and the players are already thinking of the next challenge against Palermo.

MILAN - Here is what Luca Antonini had to say after today’s Milan-Bari encounter at the San Siro:

MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI:
“We made a mistake on that play, it was a lack of attention. But I think that, taking into consideration the second half performance of the team, we would have deserved to win. It wasn’t a lucky week for us, especially if one considers how we played in London and today. Now we have a 5-point advantage. Had we had won today, we would have increased the lead, but in any case the race for the title wouldn’t be over. I think the derby will be decisive.
Emanuelson did very well. He was in contention for a berth in the starting line-up, but in the end Merkel got the nod. After coming off the bench, Emanuelson played well.
I’m disappointed about the fact that we’ll have to do without Ibra against Palermo, also because he did a great job in the second half. In any case, we’ll find a solution up front for the trip to the Barbera Stadium.
This is a delicate moment of the season, regardless of today’s result. By the way, we have two more points than in the first half of the season at same stage. The fifth win in a row is cursed for me. It’s been three years now that I manage to put together four consecutive victories, but the fifth never arrives. This made me worried about today’s game.
Anyway, the team is in good shape, the lads did well and we must keep believing in ourselves, because we’re still first”.

LUCA ANTONINI:
“We believed in a comeback, but in the end we had to accept the draw. After all, this is an important point, it wasn’t easy seeing how the game went. But at the same time, it’s a shame about the points lost, it was a good opportunity to break away from Inter.
Emanuelson is a good player, he always gets free to take passes and he crosses well. With him on the field after the break I had more help in defence and as a result I felt free to join the attack. We used the flanks well in the second half and managed to create a lot of chances.
Today’s result leaves us pretty disappointed seeing that a win would have seen us extend our lead at top of the table. Now it’s up to us to preserve and possibly increase our advantage. Today we failed to. Now a difficult trip to Palermo awaits us, but it’s obvious that we have to win all the remaining games if we want the title”.

URBY EMANUELSON:
“I think I did well, but the game didn’t go as we’d hoped. We could have increased our lead ahead of Inter to 7 points, but today we wasted too many chances. Anyway, we’re still up by 5 points. We’re travelling to Palermo next week. We’ll need to be smart and play well in order to earn some important points”.

IGNAZIO ABATE:
“We wasted a big opportunity. A positive note from the game was that the team responded after going down to ten. It’s an important thing, because we could have even lost considering how the game was going. Now we have to look ahead to our next match at Palermo, the first of two difficult games awaiting us before the international break. Hopefully, we’ll do well in Sicily to then play the derby with a 5-point advantage.
There’s disappointment in the dressing room, because we could have increased the lead ahead of Inter, but anyway, a victory wouldn’t have meant the end of the championship. So in the end nothing has changed regarding the standings, but there’s one game less left”.
