Perhaps undeserved after seeing the replay but I'll take it
Robinho!!!
Got lucky too, as Buffon almost stopped it. I will take anything at this point, particularly against Juve :-)

Sorry, but this really is ridiculous. How can you call a team whose best player is SES the 3rd best in Serie A? Have you noticed the quality of Fiorentina and Napoli? We don't have a player half as good as Hamsik or Cavani.
The continued delusion about how good our team is is actually starting to grind.
Yes, the manager's a shambles. Yes, the tactics are all over the place.
But the squad is dire! Look at the defence! Mexes is our best defender and he's just 'good'. No more. Best midfielder is Monto - good good player but I'd take Hamsik any day. SES has bailed us out but choosing between him and Cavani is no contest.
For a Milan team normally endowed with Maldinis, Nestas, Ibras, Silvas, Pirlos, Shevas, Kakas - now look at us.
Top 3? Not a chance. A great coach could get this side into top 6.
Actually, I am being realistic. The fact that Fiorentina outplayed us is because they have a better coach, one that is getting the best out of his squad. Fiorentina is playing a fluid and dynamic game, and fully deserves to be top 4 this year. However, based on the quality of the players, we should be a better team. As we should be better than Samp, Atalanta, Udinese, Parma, etc. Arguably Napoli and Malaga as well. And we are probably not that far off from Inter. The big difference, once again, is coaching.
Just to pick one of your examples, top scorers in Serie A this year are:
10 - El Shaarawy S. (Milan),
8 - Cavani E. (Napoli), Di Natale A. (Udinese), Lamela E. (Roma)
(And ElSha is barely 20!!!)
Yes, the team is not as good as last year, and far below what we have been used to. (No disagreement there.)
