Abate was on the bench. Like I said before, Abate is what it is. He is not that good but his experience is better for this kind of games.

Abate is far better than Calabria.

There were a number of poor players today but Calabria was the worst. He will never be good enough.

Poor kid. I really feel sorry for him.
Montella should have played him against an EL farmer team and not an in form lazio.

Nah.

I have been saying since he started getting starts for Milan that Calabria was bad but some people kept raving that he was not half bad, that he is really talented but he needs some time. :fp:

Defensively Davide is horrible. He creates lots of problem for the RCB because the RCB has to come out and babysit/cover that position too.

However, the worst was Montella who chose Calabria over Abate. Abate is what it is but he is leagues better than Calabria.

He need a slap & a loan stint just like Suso did.

You see how many times this guy slipped and Bonucci had to be out of position just to cover Calabria's ass.

Somehow I think our primavera like to hype on this RB position. :lol:

Abate is a solid player with a lot of experience. Calabria is super raw and was a complete mess defensively. Going against one of the better teams in the league, there is no way that he should have started.

Hopefully he can be loaned out in January.

You can always expect Milan primavera to find a new low.

What's amazing is now we have to see them embarrass themselves for the first team before they are sent into lower tier obscurity. :head:

Gone are the days where we would just parade these clowns during preseason friendlies, and then forget they existed until a team like Hellas or atalanta brought them back 8 years later. :cry:

:thumbsup:

He's looked shaky every single time he's started.

The amount of times he was caught out of position yesterday was just :fp:

:thumbsup: looks like 3-5-2 served him better. At least Montella has more confident to play him vs weaker sides now

Bonucci is a much bigger problem defensively than this kid.

Solid game - hope he can continue to improve now that Conti is out for an extended time.

One of the best today. I love how he silenced his critics.
Same with Cutrone who still has a lot of room to grow but showed that he is not a "little Bacca".

Happy for him. We mustn't forget he's just a kid - and has a lot to learn.

It was always clear he was a RWB and not anything else. Lets hope him and abate can cover for us till conti gets back.

Great game from him, best I've seen him play. Definitely suits the wing back role

I pray he is OK, apparently he has been taken to hospital as a precaution but he did not lose conciousness and was talking & shaking hands. Get well soon Davide!
