Yes, Milos is predictable, but I wish people would realise that that's not the reason he's ineffective sometimes.
His plan is pretty much simple: burn whoever is marking him with his superhuman pace. There's not much defenders can do about that, even if they know it's coming. All they can do is triple-team him, which is where the problem lies: HE HAS NO SUPPORT. He's paired with the absolute weakest position in our team, with boneheads like Motta and Grygera, or at best Sorensen, who's a decent young defender but doesn't offer a great deal going forward.
Compounding the problem is the fact that we have very little attacking threat on the left wing. Marchisio's a decent player but by no means a winger, and Pepe, for all of his toil and grit, is just not a talented footballer.
If our only game plan is to either play long balls or give it to MILOS MILOS MILOS to try and beat 4 defenders, and if our central midfielders aren't particularly talented at playing dangerous passes on the ground to the forwards, it becomes extremely simple for teams to nullify our attack. You can't simply blame Krasic's predictability when things sometimes don't work out for him.
