A.C. MILAN v JUVENTUS

In what world has Boateng found his feet (not directed solely at you, Dante), but in all seriousness, yesterday was the first time this season I watched a whole Milan match. I've already read so much about Boateng being a joke this season and yesterday was no different. He can't make the simplest of passes and he always opts to do some ridiculous play instead of making the proper pass. It's clear he doesn't possess the traits of a creative CAM and he hasn't shown his worth as a starter (let alone our number 10) /rant

Boateng was pretty poor yes, but you have to say that the front 3 of SES,Boa and Robinho were causing Juve all kinds of trouble,maybe we could have scored more with someone with good decision making like Bojan instead of Boateng.

Do I? I would say that SES and Robinho were causing havoc, but not Boateng. I honestly think he helped Juve more than Milan - constantly turned the ball over in key positions (I recall the counter where he had two options and decided to do a few step-overs before "passing" the ball to Buffon). He's too wasteful and we can't afford that luxury this season, I just wish I had seen his prior games so that I could properly judge.

To put into perspective how poor he's been this year, yesterday was one of his better games...

That really puts it all into perspective for me, thanks, Cookie Monster.

Well , you do make valid points THC , but i think i got misunderstood here.

What i basicaly said was , they are in the process but not yet there .
Things will get a lot easier for Milan when they finaly find their feet again. I didn't intend this like they ve done it already. Gradualy though , they do get back on track .

Boateng got a lot of stick , he has had his fair share of critisicm. I think he's doing a lot better since the earlier stages and whilst still not being sufficient enough , he's not doing us harm anymore. I am sure he'll at least have the chances and time to find himself again .

If he doesn't , better gtfo in the summer . If the departures of Cassano and Ibrahimovic let El Sharaawy free , i am not willing to give Boateng another season . Let Merkel come back and we are done with it , but as long Boa is our player , we have to expect him to improve nonetheless , imo .

Well , Europa League is on the table , unfortunately .. but i must confess i don't think we will be playing in Europa next season . Even with such a mediocre team , we can still make it , it's not like we will go far in the CL or anything

Once February comes and we get eliminated from CL , we will have all the time and the rest in the world to reach the 3rd place. But this month is vital and thankfully , we enter December after 3 pleasing results which will alow the team to work their way up the table with confidence and determination.

I have an idea....lets win CL

Seriously though it would be pretty interesting to see us parking the bus like Chelsea just to see how far we reach

Maybe just maybe...we could pull it off..

Inter is blowing hot and cold and this year after January tbh I think they will start crumbling again and will finish 6th ... And this season is young there is still hope it will all depend on January window
