I struggled to find words for this match. Milan weren’t
terrible, but there wasn’t much that was good, either. Mainly, we were
outplayed by 16th place Chievo, so don’t expect wins against any of the teams
that are above 16th. By this point in the season, I should see something
resembling football, even from this squad. Two highlights for me: Honda’s
crossbar assault in the 48th and De Jong’s killer save in the 67th. Bocchetti
had a promising match, Bonera is losing his fullback superpowers. On the
downside, De Jong is injured again. But on the upside, Montolivo is injured
again, so that’s kind of a wash. Except for the Muntari and Essien red alerts.
But yeah, other than a clean sheet, another step backwards. Okay then.

I am literally out of words for this one, so I will leave
you with my precocious daughter’s wise assessment: “Milan epically failed
today.”
