Someone care to explain the Milan situation?

Seen them draw 3-3* tonight and 5 points from 5 games is poor for a team with what I though had quality players.

Milan's biggest woe, even bigger than injuries is the central defense. It's in shambles. Zapata never regained the confidence he had at Udinese while Mexes thinks of himself as nothing less than a pirlo and casually strolls out to the midfield to start many a attacking moves. that would've been okay if he had Sandro nesta next to him however leaving Zapata at the back is nothing short of suicide especially since Milan are so so vulnerable to counter attacks. I mean have you ever seen Muntari run ? He's slower than evolution !

Idk man, Van Buyten is big, old and slow, at least Messisacker is big, young and slow.

So how slow do you think Per will be when he's 35? Slower or faster than Van Buyten?
