You beat me to it. 

I was going to blame you for it. 

Very happy with the win and very sick of refs and VAR. The Pavlovic stamp that led to pen was less consequential than at least a couple of Inter fouls that were not given. Near the end of half on Pulisic for example.
It is also cowardice of the refs to decide to use the pitch side monitor to decide the pen. What more info did checking the monitor give to the pitch ref?

Fantastic win! Damn we know how to suffer. I think we defended way to deep the last 20 minutes. Inter are so dangerous when Dimarco can dart cross after cross, luckily the positional sense of the back three, was 10/10 tonight.

Lucky but still a magical win.

My rating 1-10:

- Maignan: 9. Very rare to give as high as a 9, but deserved it tonight. What a game. Maybe his best in a Milan shirt. Certaintly top three.
- Tomori: 7. Really solid. Hard pressure especially in the second half, but he stood hos ground. A reborn player.
- Gabbia: 7. Lost Thuram, and had some troubles in the first half, was commanding i in the second half.
- Pavlovic: I see ratings from 5, to 6 out there. Il give him a 6,5. Yes clumsy challenge for the pen, but otherwise rock solid.
- Saelemaekers: 7,5. I just love this player. Aassist for the goal, and works like a mad dog. He is becoming a icon for this club.
- Modric: 7. We know Inter press really high. Then Modric is the best player in the world to get the ball too. Aging like fine wine.
- Fofana. 6,5. Everyone bashes him, i followed him closely. He was fantastic in the pressing game at times, and won the ball for the goal. We must see his total, not just his bad moves.
- Rabiot. 7. So good to have him back. His composure, his positional sense, his strenght and teqnique. Great player. So important.
- Bartesaghi: 7. 19 years old and his first derby. Im so damn impressed. He looked so mature tonight. Augusto did very little, also great blocks from Diouf when he came on.
- Leao: 6. Struggled big time in the first half, Acerbi closed him down. Involved in the goal, and worked good defensively. Wasted some good counters.
- Pulisic: 7. Easy goal, but he is always there. Pure instinct. Run most of all, and are so lively. Probably our most important player overall.


Until now we have conceded two goals in the matches against Juve, Napoli, Inter, Bologna, Roma, and Atalanta. That insane numbers. Our problem is the focus against lowe teams. Its all about determination and focus. The quality to beat the minnows are certaintly there.

Forza Milan!

Meignan got 9 because he didn't score a goal? Cuz I can't find any other explanation

Great 3 points. Good for morale after dropping points to Parma from a commanding position. The trouble is that beating Inter, Roma and Napoli won't mean much if we can't then follow it up by collecting points against the likes of Pisa. 

Anyway, I'm not too bothered about the performance. I don't think it was good, of course. But I don't really care about performances at this point. I'd rather the 3 points any time. 

The thing is, Allegri is a master at this grinding points type of thing. But It definitely does feel like we are missing something in attack. Our attacks are sporadic and mostly isolated to 3-4 players. An no, i don't mean on counters. I'm talking in general. We rarely commit more that 3 players/runs inside the box. We actually rarely commit numbers in the attacking third, even in the times that we have sustained possession. But, I guess this is Allegri. So I shouldn't be surprised. And it's also the reason of why we very rarely get caught on a counter ourselves.

He is generous enough to allow the two posts each getting 0.5 point credit.
