How did it come to this???

20 games played in all competitions
21 goals conceded.

Can anyone think back to our scudetto year of 2003/2004 when juve's title challenge was undermined by a woefully ineffective and archaic backline. the likes of Montero and ferrara were still getting playing time and thuram was exiled to the right flank. Who can ever forget leggrotaglie, or whatever the f**k his name was.

OK can anyone see a similarity in the way Juve's season ended then to the way ours is threatening to go now? Look Raggazzi, don't for one second be fooled into thinking all is well after last nites nervy qualifications to the last 16. Gatusso's antic's at the end of the match really say it all. The team had been made to endure a tough and anxios 90 mins. Christian Poulsen had been at the center of all that, and Rino was releasing the tension of that 90 mins on to him. I really expect our players to conduct themselves with better class becoz poulsen is poulsen and we are Milan. Those colors stand for so much, and need to be worn with honor and dignity. We look a side that is unsure of itself at the moment. I get nervous everytime the ball gets anywere near our defensive zone, and i reckon its the same for our lads. look don't believe all this **** in the media about our defensive problems being all about our back four. this is an oversimplification because a whole lot happens before the ball gets there. we are nood defending well as a unit, and this is something we urgently need to address before the champions league starts up again in march, and also if we are to mount any sort of credible challenge for the scudetto. right now in europe if we come up against any crack side like barca,chelsea,juve or bayern we would have a problem. we are far from being a crack side at the moment...we are merely a side with a lot of cracks......big ones at that!!!!
