Milan has always struggled while being put under pressure lately, and it means the players can't handle it, partially because our defense is IN MAJOR crisis at the moment. When we have Nesta back, and Thiago Silva at our disposal, we may not need 9 players behind the ball to save our butts. But at the moment - that's the only solution.

there are other ways to defend your lead when you are under pressure. Carlo took our most dangerous player off (Pato) and we played with 0 strikers! Not only we were leaning back way too much but such subs also give an indication to the other team to fully attack. We shouldve kept pato on and brought in flamini in midfield or antonini as LB and put marek in midfield. Some running people, that way we wouldve been a lot more dangerous. Attack is still a very good defence!! It also scares the opposition. We've lost MANY points only this season due to carlo's holding back tactics. also he shouldnt have switched the central defence!!!!!
