What's clear is the attitude of the players is all wrong here. V Napoli, Roma and Real we were totally up for it and fought like lions. Today we were pussies, pure and simple. Add to that Pippo's ghastly naive tactics and Sassuolo's wily counter attacking and we deservedly lost. That, today, is the real Milan, and we're all back down to earth with a horrible bump.

Ratings:

Lopez: 6 No chance with either goal, didn't have much to do otherwise in truth.

Rami: 3 Dire. Caught out of position again and again and while the guy is classy ON the ball, he's absolutely fucking useless as a defender.

Alex: 5 Struggled to keep order, and truthfully didn't manage to do so. His own work was good enough, but was unable to organise the shambles around him.

Zapata: 4 Ordinary. Poor on the ball, but then, always has been.

MDS: 3 Back to classic out of form MDS. Got forward ok but like Rami on the other side exposed the CBs frequently.

Poli: 4 Gets that 4 for his goal. Otherwise a really, really weak show from him, not his usual hard grafting self and faded even worse than normal in the second half.

Essien: 2 Terrible. No focus, no concentration, and slow.

Monto: 2 Back to last season's Monto. Cost us the first goal (in conjunction with a useless defence) and contributed absolutely nothing of quality in this match.

Bona: 5 Didn't hide but not a lot came off for him.

Menez: 3 After a bright first 10 minutes he turned into his old selfish me me me self. Went AWOL soon after. His stinking attitude is back, oh how we've missed it.

SES: 2 Usual SES when it's not a friendly.

Subs:

Cerci: 6 Oddly rather good in these circumstances. Bright, tried to make things happen and nearly scored.

Pazzo: 4 Made one excellent shot. Otherwise, not a lot.

Abate: NA not enough time.

Pippo: 0 After all his good progress today was an absolute disaster, tactically and formationally. If we weren't out of shape at the front we were caught again and again at the back. Pippo did nothing to change anything and it just continued after the break.

TOTAL. MESS.
