Not the Clinical Milan Anymore!!!!!!

To all my fellow Milanisti, I have bled,cried and laughed with you through all of Milan's ups and downs. I have supported Milan for the past 20 years and have seen the metamorphosis that this club has gone through.

This season(in the last 5 years) has by far been one of Milan's worst in terms of execution. We don't go for the jugular anymore and kill of team's. That is why I'm prepared for a Milan loss against Arsenal. The Cohesion in play that has been Milan's trademark since Carlo's reign is seriously lacking. And as a result we've lacked clinical execution that we've had in the past. Another reason I'm prepared for a an unfavorable result against Arsenal is the how we seem to overlook Serie A, sometimes with contempt.

There seems to be a lack of urgency whenever we play Serie A teams. And then we plan to show up in the Champions League. I for one believe if we lose tomorrow, next season Serie A should be our number 1 priority. Winning begets winning, if we are getting results in Serie A and consistently battling for the top spot it; this in turn serves as springboard for Champions League games. I know some of you will point to Last Season, that was a special campaign signed by destiny. Lets face if guys and gals, a season like 06/07 won't always be there.

Personally, I believe 04/05 season was one of the best Milan's seasons in the past decade. Despite losing to Liverpool, our Serie A play&CL play was simply exceptional. We got to the Champions League Final exhibiting exquisite soccer.

Enough about looking into the past. I don't think Milan has been the best team in CL to date. I don't know who has. It might one of those seasons where we see the final without any marquee names(Milan, Manyoo).If Milan win tomorrow, I was wrong. My writing here is not to prepare for 'I told you so', I don't derive any joy from Milan losing. All I want to get across, is we've not shown the capability to string fine performances. Inconsistency and lack of cohesion in play has plagued us. So with that I pray for a win but will be gutted and still understand if we don't win.
