"AC Milan dropped yet more points at home on Sunday in the early kick-off, failing to see out the game against Sassuolo. La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) point out a pattern that has emerged: Milan also hosted the third newly-promoted team at San Siro and - as in the two previous cases - they failed to win and conceded two goals."
"Against Cremonese, Pisa and Sassuolo, the Rossoneri collected just two points from nine and six goals conceded. It was another setback, with the additional regret of not capitalising on Napoli's defeat against Udinese. Massimiliano Allegri's men could have gone clear at the top and moved three points ahead of Antonio Conte's side, but instead were overtaken by Chivu's Inter. Against Juve, Inter, Napoli and Roma, Milan collected ten points from 12, conceding only one goal."
"After 15 games, the Rossoneri are this paradox: they struggle against lesser sides, but are great in the six-pointers. Yet, you don't need Sherlock Holmes to solve the mystery: when the Rossoneri can defend in a low block and break, they excel. When they have to control a game or attack a low block they struggle, due to a lack of attacking quality, also due to absences and lapses in defensive concentration."
AC Milan dropped points at home by failing to see out a match against Sassuolo, continuing a pattern of poor results against newly-promoted sides at San Siro. Against Cremonese, Pisa and Sassuolo the Rossoneri earned only two points from nine and conceded six goals. The team missed the chance to capitalize on Napoli’s defeat and lost the opportunity to go clear atop the table, instead being overtaken by Inter. Milan perform strongly in six-pointer matches, collecting ten points from twelve while conceding only once, but they struggle when required to control play or break down low blocks because of limited attacking quality, absences and defensive lapses.
