Goal.com is ****! When we lost all of our games this summer, though we didn't played so bad (we were better than Chelsea for example), they said, "Milan is done, they have the worst squad in the last 25 years, they'll end up in the middle of the table, they've lost all of their preparation games". And now, when we had a great run, 2nd on the table, they are saying "results are there, but the game is poor".

But some things in that article need attention.

It is VERY truth that our system is like "we have to score more than we concede". That worked against Cagliari, when both of our strikers were in form and both of them scored. But, against Palermo, Pato wasn't there, Borriello was bad and we conceded two and scored none. We are open too much, and Leonardo must do something about it. Seedorf must defend more and more quickly, he cannot walk back like he used too. His defending against Real was top notch, but it seems that Leo thinks that Seedorf can walk back against not-so-good opponent and he let him do that way. Also, Pato and Ronaldinho must do SOME of defending job. They have to help our side-backs.

But, there's the other side of the medal. If Seedorf would run back like he's 25 years old, how he could start every game? There lies the problem. He is 33. From January there will be Beckham, so Seedorf will not have to start every game.

Anyway, I'm (still) doubtful that we can win Serie A title, and I'm afraid that we will lose CL too if we keep fighting for both. We obviously don't have depth in our squad.
