As positive as pre-season was, there has been no continuance of the football on display. Within a month, Milan have gone from a team that could press, pass, and generally play well, to a team that struggles to do all of the above.

AC Milan started their Champions League campaign with a 3-1 loss to Liverpool and were totally outplayed, thus further putting pressure on Paulo Fonseca to turn things around quickly.
