Despite their new ownership spending significant amounts in the summer, AC Milan have once again struggled this season and have turned to another one of their former players to guide them after sacking Vincenzo Montella. Clarence Seedorf, Filippo Inzaghi and Cristian Brocchi have all been given opportunities as head coach…

Italian football has a reputation for being defensive born from its more methodical style of play and the country's general ability in defending, having a particular respect for the art in much the same way the Spanish put passing on a pedestal, yet if there was ever a time the…

It may have taken the extreme depths and European embarrassments we are currently seeing for everyone to catch on to the fact that the Premier League is pretty terrible at the moment, although it's lacked real quality since 2011, but there's little greater evidence of quite how far it's fallen…

It took Jesus Christ 33 years to be crucified, so, at age 24, Mario Balotelli looks a decent bet to beat his time. It was always inevitable that at some point the Italian was going to face belligerent criticism, but the special blend of the English media's unique brand of…

Considering the European pedigree of the two sides, the match was perhaps not as big a deal as it should have been. The draws have seen them paired together frequently in recent years, making it less of a special occasion than the Real Madrid-Juventus match-up the following evening, and, with…

Rafa Benitez's place as the Milanese bogeyman didn't look under much threat as Napoli flew out of the blocks to unsettle Massimiliano Allegri's men in their first proper domestic test of the season, fresh from a promising Champions League victory over Borussia Dortmund mid-week.

What Is Wrong With AC Milan?

It says quite a lot about how this season has gone for Milan so far that they went into their game against Napoli as considerable underdogs. The last time Napoli finished above the Rossoneri in Serie A, Diego Maradona was playing for them, and even then they weren’t necessarily favourites.…
