Everyone has a reason/justification for every single situation. The fact is, whatever is going on is not working, so there needs to be changes. Wholesale, minor, player, coach, formation, tactic, the list goes on.
In my opinion, the game as a whole is changing. Faster-tempo, whole teams of attackers, pushing forward. When I see Milan doing this, we are unbeatable. Are we doing it enough, or can we do it regularly with this team? In my opinion, no. Ambro, Gattuso, Emerson, Oddo, Janku, are all some of the players that have been singled out. I think because they are not functioning for all aspects that we need them. When Gattuso is raving around the midfield, we don't need Ambro and Emerson on the pitch. What we need is an attacker, a winger. Did Rino give us much offensively yesterday? No. Did that hurt us, and could we have used another attacking, controlling, passing mid? Yes. Does any ONE player deserve ALL the blame? No. But when we don't have viable solutions for problems, then we have a major problem. It is not easy to break this Milan down; it has been happening all year in Serie A. We don't impose ourselves. Arsenal looked like Milan of old, they dictated the play, they made over 20 passes in a row at one point, they had 65% possession. Things are changing throughout football, and I think we can pick it up and be on top again. Do we need to burn the house down, toss the baby out with the bathwater, and all sorts of other tired cliches? No. Do we need to go to UEFA cup for a year in order to realize how **** our year has been? No. Can we compete in both competitions next year? Absolutely. Italian football is ripe for a new (dare I say revolution) in playing style. I think we can be at the forefront of that, with Pato, Paloschi, Kaka', Pirlo, etc. We need wingers and wing-backs. Milan has been all about beautiful football. I watched Milan demolish Madrid 5-1 a few weeks ago, and it was just an amazing, fluid, beautiful thing to watch. We have a core group that begin to justify this style of play, now we need the rest of the pieces to complete it.
