The defending... Oh the defending...

Oh man, we really, really need Honda.

Damn it Monto, shoot!!!

[han2503]

The short corner is SOO ridiculous

[han2503]

Damn it Monto, shoot!!!

Yeah, should have hit it first time

[han2503]

This rough tackling every time Balo gets the ball is getting irritating

On top of what everyone has said so far, three players I wanna mention:

Muntari - Just terrible! Too many lost balls and very slow movements.
Urby - Way too many mistakes and very insecure defensively.
Boateng - Utterly useless on the wing.

Prince finally getting his foot on the ball in the middle. He seriously needs to move into the hole. This type of open game is the only time he'll do something there. Take advantage of it FFS!

Muntari - Agreed
Urby - He's just made too many bad passes, I think he'd be good there against mid-level Serie A side where we need that something extra but in an open and quick game he suffers defensively
Prince - These last 10 minutes or so he's managed to drop deep and feed SES, it's where he should be played for now, but if it were up to me I'd move him into midfield instead of Muntari and bring on Niang as the double FB

[X-Offender]

Holy crap, what a goal from Sociedad!!!

[Fillipo Simone]

Some of our players look completely off colour.

Abate, Mexes, SES and De Jong and the only ones who look remotely fit

You forgot the very best, Abbiati.

All in all - typical Milan under Allegri. Pain and gain, but no imagination, no joy, no creativity.

Defensively unstable as ever. Abate and Mexes with a typical performance as well. One great move, followed by a grave mistake. Especially Abate today.

Emanuelson, like I always knew, isn't up for a LB position. Way too many mistakes and clumsy positioning.

Montolivo..did he even play? Boateng and Muntari - piss poor.

As for the system all in all - we really need a prima punta. This is getting ridiculous. I've seen both SES and Balo make a breakthrough on the wing, yet all their attacks ended up empty because there wasn't anyone there who could be open for a cross or pass. Our wingers on the other hand are not exactly Messi - and therefore depend on a prima punta. So either we change our system or we play with a typical prima punta.

What? Are you serious? Willems and Park both killed him. He was out of position for most of the time, he was outpaced by both Park and Willems.

Don't get your prima punta comment. Balo is our Prima punta, it's just that with Boateng on the right he's no where in sight so Balo pulls to the wing to make something happen and then there is a gap left in the center.

What we need as an actual attacking midfielder who can play behind Balo and SES and give them the service they need. Currently it's just the same old ridiculous play of last season

Yes he made a lot of mistakes defensively which is why I said he's not good enough to play there when it's a fast paced open game, his bad passing pissed me off even more because how much more basic can you get than that.

But in Serie A when we're basically parked in our opponents half and playing the usual turtle paced game he could come in handy at LB

On the PP:

Like I said, either we change our system (and integrate a real AM) or we play a typical PP. Balo isn't that, he's either too deep on the flank, or deep in field. Didn't you see us getting through the left and then simply loosing the attack due to the fact that there was no one to find in center?

On Emo:

Maybe. But that's just backup material. All in all he's just a poor player with little to nothing to give to Milan.
