Cutrone has only caused fouls since he came in. Useless.

Both strikers were pretty much inefficient. As was Kessie and Rodriguez, terrible game by both.

Rodriguez is terrible. And Kessie, in all honesty, I'd do without. Hakan showed today that he can be much more efficient in midfield.

The first two goals were like fifa goals.. We did respond well but the issue is the depth curtone simply added nothing. Castillejo is average.

Paquta and kessie both are very tired i suppose. We just need to retain focus and forget the result and move onto next game

Anyway, the approach to this game was wrong from the start. Forget the early goal, we just couldn't control the game and force our superiority. Inter played a great first half, we showed a reaction in the second but the game was already set at that point.

We're still not ready.

Can't catch a break against these f@ckers! We haven't won a derby in the league since 2016!

We started badly. Just terrible mindset. We played like we've been playing since the Lazio game, only this time we lost our heads and couldn't even get the defensive side correct.

Cutrone should have scored that last chance

And anyone else catch that fraces between Biglia and Kessie on the bench?

I really hope that we don't spiral after this game. We were riding our luck in previous games, today it ran out. Every 50/50 ball was going Inter's way. We absolutely have to produce a performance against Samp in 2 weeks time

Thankfully with Roma losing we get to keep our previous cushion. But letting Inter win this and regain their confidence could prove seriously detrimental.

First half Piatek was completely isolated. We just couldn't manage to provide him a proper delivery

Rodriguez was an absolute nightmare.

Kessie was his usual self. Too casual on the ball, bad passing and inefficient use of his energy

We let them get into positions to put in those kind of ping pong balls into our area. The FBs and the side mids carry the blame for those. We just let them do as they please in the first half. They came uut blazing, pressing us with a high line, and we came out expecting to put in our usual lackadaisical display, with slow passing a buildup, with no real cutting edge to our play.

Every derby for the past 3 years now we simply haven't played it like a derby, while Inter always come out swinging.

Bad mentality and a bunch of bad players. I really think we need to cross of Rodriguez and Kessie, both are simply too lacking to be considered as starters or quality players. Then there is Donnarumma who never shines in such occasions but survives mostly... And of course Suso who was a bit better in the second half with Conti there to help, but he's still miles away from being useful at this moment.

Did anyone else think that D'ambrosio should have been sent off for using his hand to block a ball that was going into the net? To me, it seemed clear. A ref would give a penalty for that kind of action so why didn't he check the VAR and give a red.

I understand that Mussachio ended up scoring off of the deflection but still. Either way, I'm not blaming the ref. We had every opportunity to take this game by the scruff of the neck and we didn't. Suso to me was poor, but no one was worse than RR. Easily his worst game for us.

Would love to change out Suso for Chiesa who seems to be everything he is not. Suso's development has kind of peaked and he not the player to take over a game, especially at this time of the season.

I know we lost but I loved this derby. It was how they should all be, and loved justice being done with VAR particularly with Conti, which has become such an invaluable tool.

My ambitions for Milan are far lower than they were, I like how things are with the support and the club these days.

And although I was gutted to lose, felt that at least we played with fire in our belly a fair bit.

The problem is we developed a pattern. We start with less then 100% and often react only after conceding goals or end up being cornered and pressured. Only then we try breaking out and organize some decent attacks, but this phase tends to wane.

Then there are those small irregularities. When will Donnarumma be able to be more secure with corners and high crosses/balls? When will he become more precise with passing? We need to work out many details in our game.

Those details are the every day issues an overperforming mid-table team deals with as a fact of life. That is where we are now.

There's less pressure, in my mind, on this club to deliver even if a certain Indian has threatened to fly to Scotland and get me drunk on Scotch if we make the CL.

But being serious, I'm so used to Milan the way we are now I've forgotten the old world. Which is weird because it's opposite with Rangers - I still can't reconcile Rangers' plight with the way it was in the olden days.

This.

Mentality-wise, we're just not there. We should have had fire in our eyes, yet we let a terrible Inter overpower us at home.

And then there's that bunch of 3-4 players that hold us back. Rodriguez and Kessie just don't cut it. I agree with Fillipo that we should part ways we them. Calhanoglu is still a question mark, and Suso has switched off for some odd reason.

We lack that 2-3 players that can carry us. In the past we had guys like Shevchenko, Kaka' and Seedorf who showed up big time when push came to shove. They made the difference. Right now we have none of that.

Anyone heard about the brawl between Kessie and Biglia? What was that all about?

Rodriguez needs no explanation. The sheer fact that we can get some decent (or good) money out of him is enough convincing to ship him off and try adapting Calabria on the left or find another suitable option.

Kessie is what I always suspected him to be. Simply lacking in quality and intelligence. He's a surplus, adding very little to our game. In 1990 or the early 2000's Keissie would have done good, but this is modern football; you simply cannot sacrifice the midfield position for a limited player like him in a club with big or even modest ambitions.

A thing that worries me a bit preemptive is Piatek. He seems like a shadow player: tuning in and out in games. Sure he scored a bunch of important goals for us already but somehow I got the feeling he is the type of striker that likes to go on longer absent stints and isn't quite the derby king. When you mention Shevchenko... oh the one thing he always delivered was against Inter.

Sheva had Cafu and Serginho on the flanks, Seedorf, Pirlo and Rui Costa to supply ... Who does Piatek have?

This is the problem we have when we draw comparisons.
