Actually that is not entirely true. We had two horrible games at the start of the season, but then the team started performing, and at one point this fall we were even top of the table. Then the injury nightmare began, and Milan collapsed. We lost players like Gattuso and Borriello, and the latter had just proved to be exactly the kind of striker that we needed. Nesta has been out all season, Pirlo was out for a long time, Senderos has been unavailable, Bonera was injured for a long time, Kaladze has been injured, Pippo has been out, Sheva has been injured, etc. The situation at the moment is ridiculous, but it seems to happen every season. I wonder why.
