Or maybe instead of scoring, he'd try to dribble two more players and lose the ball on a back heel pass.
You can play counterattack without having your attacker drop too deep and crowding the midfield, otherwise you risk being pressed too deeply.
I don't know if it was the fact that Destro was the main attacking point (instead of Menez) but he played pretty solid. The part where he rotated past Astori (which from the initial replays looked between a yellow and a red card for Astori) is the standard how a center forward should play (make space and hold into that space forcing the defender to defend deeper instead of trying to anticipate you).
Also Honda and Van Ginkel also had very solid games and even Poli played solid.
Again, I don't know how much the Roma demerits are, probably if Roma had scored first we might be looking at a totally different game.

Finally the players looked like they were playing for the Milan colours... Because finally we had the actual Milan colours on in our jersey.
I'm gonna blame this entire season on that 2014/15 home jersey. Pippo absolved.

COACH INZAGHI (to the Milan Channel)
"I am sorry about being sent-off. Maybe I was a bit too disapproving.
I hope that I can be on the side-lines to lead the team for the Sassuolo match. The fans are good with me.
I am the first to be disappointed, but if I am given the chance, I will take Milan back to the top.
We need consistency and unity, we have taken a bit more time than expected, but if we’re able to do this we will go back to the top.
It’s easier when you have the whole squad available. The only match in which we were missing was against Udinese.
We have a precise identity in our playing style, today we weren’t just about sitting back and breaking on the counter attack, and we played football.
We have to build from this match. Let’s win the next 3 matches and do everything we can and then we shall see where we finish.
To improve and try and get back on track, I only know one solution: work.
This squad knows it should have done better. But the players gave a great response and this is the most important thing."
COACH INZAGHI (press conference)
"For 3 or 4 months we played just like we did tonight. Then there was a blackout, perhaps due to the injuries and changing the formation maybe took away confidence, but tonight the players were excellent.
Looking back is pointless and we have to build from this performance, look forwards and give all that we have. We were a team and I don’t think it was an individual that changed the situation.
I am convinced that Menez would have also done well if he had played tonight. We’ve always had the right attitude, with the exception of the match against Udinese.
We need a lot of patience, and I don’t think we should get ahead of ourselves after tonight’s match, but instead understand that we have created a good group and that we have to win the next 3 matches.
Then, the club will make its decisions. The new shirt brought us luck and I think that CEO Galliani will make us wear it for the next matches! Joking aside, it was the attitude today that made the difference.
When you’re not able to meet expectations, we’re all to blame, the coach first of all. We’re a team characterized by players that break on the counter-attack, but today we were more than that and we played good football.
Honda has been out lately and it has been hard for him to re-find his fitness. His attitude is an example for how he trains and we have to start off again with players like him.
When you wear the Milan shirt you have to keep a tight hold of it because it is special. I’ve found it hard to understand why we haven’t been able to replicate our performances from November and December. I am sorry about my sending off.
But, I hope to be on the bench against Sassuolo, as otherwise they would take away from me something that I am very fond of."

Moggi: "Without Menez Milan Played Like a Team"
Through the columns of Libero, Luciano Moggi commented the auccesso Saturday AC Milan against Roma: " Applause at Milan's Inzaghi deserved the beating Roma 2-1. Orphan Menez of the Devil has given a different face, played finally from the team, Honda (in the role he prefers) gave lecture technique putting a hand in both goals.
It is a demonstration of what we write long on Menez: true, he scored 16 goals, delighting the palates, but not has increased the team and when he does not score an impediment. Bonaventure instead helped the defenders and was always in support of the strikers; the defense has been more careful with the usual before De Jong, the team tried to win by attacking, as they do large ".

Well I drew with Wesley on the Chelsea PSG game result... The outcome was both of us had to change our sigs.
Bundesshipwreck... Naw they are still alright. Serie A doing better than EPL however. If they keep it up they could get it's 4th spot back in roughly... 6 years? Is that the sufficient time when next cycle starts and ends?

They're gonna have to outperform Serie A by several points in next seasons to keep their 4th spot.

Hmmm?
the 4 seasonal total (11/12) onwards + next year's coefficient would be:
EPL : 62.034 + whatever earned next season
Serie A: 58.605 + Whatever earned next season
Dunno what Serie A will finally end up at at the end of the competition but it will be below EPL. Hence, EPL still has the edge and Serie A has to outperform them?

EPL will lose the +4 points difference from 11/12 after next season, which is enough to erase their current ~3.5 point lead. And then 2 points(from 12/13) and then 2.5 points(13/14). They're gonna have to make up for these.

MILAN – On Saturday evening, Filippo Inzaghi held his pre-match press conference ahead of the Round 36 Serie A lunch-time kick-off away at Sassuolo.
Opening comments: "We have to repeat our performance from last Saturday and make sure that it’s not a one-off, but a starting point.
We’re going into the match with Sassuolo with the right spirit and we have shown that when we play as a team that we can beat big sides like Roma.
I’ve tried to understand the good things and the less positive things from our matches.
We would have probably beaten anyone with our performance last Saturday. We have to be consistent and tomorrow is a big test for us."
Inzaghi continued: "With Menez, who has enjoyed an extraordinary season, we’ve also played as a team.
We cannot be dependent on one player, but rather, we have to focus on our overall game, just like we did last Saturday.
Solidity is the key. Barcelona against Bayern Munich played in a space of 40 metres. A team has to be good at giving nothing away, struggle at times, but then break and play their game.
Sassuolo have shown themselves to be a compact side and they will play like this. We will try and give our best.
I have to think about who to play on the left with Bocchetti, Bonera or Zaccardo as options. Antonelli and De Sciglio have picked up injuries. Felicioli and Calabria are also struggling."
The coach has confidence in youth: "When the season hasn’t lived up to the expectations, it means there is something to improve upon.
El Shaarawy is back and we have missed him. When we play with a 4-3-3, we’re able to be a team and express our potential. The young players like Mastalli will be given a chance when the time is right.
If needed, I know I can count on a player that is ready for these levels."
Not good news for De Sciglio: "I think his season is over and it’s a shame. Antonelli has a groin injury and it’s unlikely that we will see him again either.
It’s the first week back for El Shaarawy in full training and I think that he has the fitness to play 20-30 minutes.
He will be able to give us a hand if needed. I don’t think there is an ideal formation. With the spirit that we played with last Saturday, we would have beaten anyone, regardless of the formation."
Unity on all fronts: "I am calm as I speak with President Berlusconi every day and he’s always full of desire.
Whatever decision he takes, he will do it for the good of Milan. I have a contract for next year as well, I am happy here and I will always do my best.
I speak with CEO Galliani three times a day, we’re in complete harmony, I know what he thinks, what the President thinks and they know what I think, but I will keep it to myself.
I want the best for Milan and with a hard-work ethic we will pick ourselves up. I believe in this."
Closing comments: "I think last Saturday's performance showed that this is a good squad to build from. I think the foundations are good and we only need a few additions."
very tactical Pipo

No shit
We?re going into the match with Sassuolo with the right spirit and we have shown that when we play as a team that we can beat big sides like Roma.
I?ve tried to understand the good things and the less positive things from our matches.
No you can't
We would have probably beaten anyone with our performance last Saturday. We have to be consistent and tomorrow is a big test for us."
Yes
Inzaghi continued: "With Menez, who has enjoyed an extraordinary season, we?ve also played as a team.
No
We cannot be dependent on one player, but rather, we have to focus on our overall game, just like we did last Saturday.
Is he saying our loud that menez is the reason we no good

We have no messi
Sassuolo have shown themselves to be a compact side and they will play like this. We will try and give our best.
I have to think about who to play on the left with Bocchetti, Bonera or Zaccardo as options. Antonelli and De Sciglio have picked up injuries. Felicioli and Calabria are also struggling."
The coach has confidence in youth: "When the season hasn?t lived up to the expectations, it means there is something to improve upon.
Ook we can improve? Watch out we got a real sherlock here
El Shaarawy is back and we have missed him. When we play with a 4-3-3, we?re able to be a team and express our potential. The young players like Mastalli will be given a chance when the time is right.
This means never
If needed, I know I can count on a player that is ready for these levels."
Not good news for De Sciglio: "I think his season is over and it?s a shame. Antonelli has a groin injury and it?s unlikely that we will see him again either.
It?s the first week back for El Shaarawy in full training and I think that he has the fitness to play 20-30 minutes.
Let him rest
He will be able to give us a hand if needed. I don?t think there is an ideal formation. With the spirit that we played with last Saturday, we would have beaten anyone, regardless of the formation."
Unity on all fronts: "I am calm as I speak with President Berlusconi every day and he?s always full of desire.

The Pazzo sub was straight up ******ed and left didn't accomplish shit. At least should have brought on Mastalli to add numbers to the mid.
