The difference between the running in the derby and Palermo game is astonishing.
Was the derby really THAT slow?
Really an entertaining match.
Montolivo did a great job today, there really is no question about that. His distribution and positioning makes our team look so different, it's not even funny.
It's funny how many RB/LBs we've produced in the last ten years, but why haven't we produced one credible CB? Like, our youth department has produced Antonelli, Abate, DeS, Darmian, and now Calabria. I guess we'll see if Ely comes good.

Diego Lopez is one of the worst I've seen at throwing the ball or passing it. Seriously needs to improve on that. I swear someone said that was one of his strengths before we signed him too.
I'm starting to think Balotelli deserves to be a starter. The more creative players, the better. Balotelli is showing some great passes, we need to exploit that earlier in the game, with a fully fit Bacca, who has incredible movement and that killer instinct. Maybe you think Adriano is better than Balotelli at certain things, like finishing, but I really believe we'd be more effective and dangerous with Balo, who is at worst, a slightly lower threat than Adriano, but much more of a creator.
don't under appreciate a win like this. the former Milan would have lost that game or drawn it. sometimes these sort of games are the ones that decide a season. last year we were shit but how many times were we in leading positions and had we held onto those how better would our overall finish have been. win ugly get confidence and then destroy.
my concern is the amount of goals we are conceding.
we need to sure up that defence and midfield.
yeah against Palermo we let them have 3 shots on goal from which two went in. 3 shots on goal conceeded over 90 minutes is very good, while 2/3 balls on goal going in is very bad.
I think this issue can be corrected with time.
