Peppe Di Stefano while speaking for Sky Sport 24 analyzed AC Milan`s draw against Carpi:"In this moment on the heads of the AC Milan`s owners and maybe in Mihajlovic`s too is the question:what is the real value of AC Milan?The team always fails to create continuity and against Carpi the first twenty-five minutes they did not see the ball. Milan have stronger squad but they did not prove that."

Stefan De Grandis gave his opinion to Sky Sport 24 about Carlos Bacca:"It`s not that Bacca is a problem, but probably everyone expected more. He is not team player like Higuain, he needs to be served with the ball.I think that Mihajlovic will play him as much as he can."

SportMediaset: Milan has problems in attack

It is fact that this season Milan has problems on every part of the field.
Before the season began everyone expected the midfield or the defense to be Milans weakest links, but now even the attack is disappointing. Today SportMediaset published some statistics about our attack and the numbers are not good.
After promising start of Carlos Bacca who scored 6 goals in 800 minutes on the field, now he is facing goalies period and he has not scored since November 1st. This means that he did not scored goal for more than 300 minutes on the field, which is unacceptable from a player of his level.
The only bright side for now is Giacomo Bonaventura who has 7 assists, and M'baye Niang`s form from last 3 matches, even though he did`t show a lot yesterday against Carpi.

AC Milan ratings vs Carpi

Laudisa:"The 0-0 keeps Milan out of Champions League"

The journalist Carlo Laudisa commented on his Twitter profile : "AC Milan missed an important opportunity with the Carpi. A dismal 0-0 that keeps them away from the Champions League".

Giovanni Galli: "Milan played a game that does not suits to them"

"This is another confirmation about Donnarumma on the goal. While for Milan, they did not played at the level which suits this club."

Full Time: Carpi - AC Milan 0-0

   

       Well sure thing is that every AC Milan fan as me are very disappointed from what we saw today.
I think that we could and we should have won this match, but something was very wrong. Is that because this week we played 3 games in 7 days or is the problem something else i don`t know. One thing is for sure, that this is not AC Milan everyone wants to see, only maybe some rival fans.
We play our next match home against Hellas Verona on 13th December, and we will hope that we can get better result next time.
