"Dutchman may count his blessings that his side were not beaten by a more handsome margin"..........That sounds like a handsome margin to me Mr. writer

he shaa pass. cant marshall the defence and his timing, defensive basics are horrible. a defender must always stay behind the attacker during crosses. mexes was infront of higuain. giving higuain room to sneak in from behind. ...

he shaa pass. cant marshall the defence and his timing, defensive basics are horrible. a defender must always stay behind the attacker during crosses. mexes was infront of higuain. giving higuain room to sneak in from behind. on the 3rd goal, again mexes instinctively tried to rush in for the ball to force napoli into offside, but the timing was late... tweaa
milan needs to play simple ball like napoli n get the ball into the 18. too much ego, holding unto the ball

Napoli is a much stronger side now than Milan. They need to work hard to regain there place in front of the league table.

The Milan players have themselves to blame. They were just ballooning the ball to the advantage of their opponent who were displaying a good inter-positional play. The Milan team players should adopt short passes and try to release the ball on time as Essien was trying to do.Most of the Milan players are too heavy and they could not keep the pace with the more nimble-footed Napoli team.If the Milans want to make an impact in the league then they need to work on their passes and good inter-positional play and STOP BALLOONING THE BALL.They also need to work on their speed.

ABELE, U SEE EVERYTIME MUNTARI COMES IN. HE CHANGES THE DYNAMICS ON THE TEAM. WHY U ASK? BCOS MUNTARI PLAYS WITH GRIT AND HE DOSENT HANG UNTO THE BALL. HE PLAYS WITH PURPOSE. THE STYLE OF PLAY I SAW FROM MILAN WAS ATROCIOUS. THEY WERE PLAYING AS IF THEY DIDNT WANT TO PLAY, BUT WATCH. IN THE FIRST 15-25 MINUTES, THE PRESSURE WAS ON MILAN. I WAS EXPECTING SEEDORF TO REMOVE MEXES AND BRING ON ANOTHE RDEFENDER. HE DIDNT. LUCKILY,MILAN OUNTERED AND SCORED, BUT THEN THEY WENT BACK TO THEIR SLUGGISH PLAY AND IT COST THEM THE EQUALISER. MILAN SHOULD HAVE RESORTED TO THE COUNTER ATTACK BCOS THE FORWARDS OF BALOTELLI, ETC WERE NOT PLAYING WITH PURPOSE. NOT GETTING INTO THE 18 ETC....PLAYING 2/3 TOUCH BALL. EACH PLAYER WANTS TO BE JESUS CHRIST ON THE FIELD. NKWASIASEM! SELFISH, ME ALONE BALL IS NOT GOING TO HELP THE TEAM...

Essien is gone, he should just retire and come home instead of embarrassing himself

Did you watch the game? You idiot. Essien was the only great player in the whole AC Milan squad yesterday. He did his best.

Was a liability in defense... Very slow to react and could not keep up with napoli's attacking midfielders
