Stupid tactics from Milan last night.
Left the game far to often and there was almost always a huge gap between the defence and midfield.
Allegri's decision to play Aquilani over a more defensively minded player also hugely backfired; all three Barca goals came, at least partially, because Aquilani failed to track a midfield runner properly.
Milan should also have been more willing to play long and early to Ibrahimovic as, particularly in the second half, that was the only way they looked capable of getting the ball to the forwards.
Oh, and Robinho is just terrible.

Agreed, they were suicidal tactics used by Allegri last night. They tried to go toe to toe with Barca in midfield and got destroyed there. Like you said, if they held their position and shape in midfield (and defence) they wouldnt have let Barca waltz into the penalty box so often.
I guess Allegri already knew Milan were through to the next round and wanted to see a more attacking style against Barca, but its surely a tactic that wont work if they are to play them again in the future. Entertaining game, nonetheless.

I prefer to see this as "bad-boy" Milan 
just waiting on Tevez. Balo, and maybe Melo to complete the puzzle
you know, I had prepped a scathing reply to your post but then saw your new avatar and decided to give you a free pass on this one

Actually, I do like my team to have it's fair share of cunts, at least on the pitch. And I actually like all the players I mentioned of your team, except Robinho (never liked him) Ambrosini (never liked him either) and Boateng (for injuring Ballack prior to 2010's WC, I hate him).
