not with Maxi out and Pato not being himself after spending 4 months on the sidelines so far this season as Milan lacked a focal point in their attack today in the 2nd half - Binho and El Saawrawy do not function well together as they are both too lightweight and tend to be at theor best away from goal.
If we had a healthy and inform pato and Maxi on the bench, I wouldn't have cared much for missing Ibra, but we didn't. Still, not having Boateng, Nesta and Seedorf in this game did hurt us in the end ... and even Mesbah had fever before the game

, which considering Antonini's mistakes in the 2nd half, was in our disadvantage too.
But enough excuses now

... the result is what it is and the best thing we can do is focus on getting as many points as possible from the games we have left - the race is still wide open
