It was a weird game last night. The final result doesn't show it, but Sassuolo was very close of at least a draw. They squandered their chances in first half, Milan had it as well, but if they scored just one of their many chances, Milan would fell apart. It was a good game we played, but we were more than lucky to win.
I think that Gattuso really need to make some changes, because every game we have the same old problems. We always start the game slowly and luckily, only Cagliari managed to benefit from that. The other issue is that our midfield have so many misplaced passes and again we were lucky that we weren't punished. Just too many risky passes to our backline and it is evident that they are not comfortable with it. He should drop the idea that everything must start from the back. It is not working and the team is not responding well to that.
Other than that, Gattuso must bench Calhanoglu, his impact so far was just disastrous. Or change his position, find him the right one, because he is a player of great quality and it is really pity that his potential is not fulfilled.
And the biggest problem of all is Biglia, his position on the field is the most important and I got the feeling that his teammates just do not help him enough, when he is in possesion it is evident that it is hard for him to find a teammate to pass the ball, it is like they are hiding or they are out of position to receive the pass. And that is why he is so error prone. Or maybe Biglia just does not have the quality to play that position. But still, I do not see any other player with similar characteristics that can cover his positon. Either way, he (or his position) is just too important and this issue must be resolved.
