Also I don't think Milito is a shit defender. He's one of the best in La Liga and Europe yet he's not been great for Barca so far. The only excuse I can find for this is that him and Puyol are too similar to work well as a partnership which is a theory that a few people in this thread were predicting before he'd signed.
Maybe a coincidence but Milito was great at the start of the season when Puyol was injured til November and Milito was forced to play with Marquez at CB which was a great partnership. Abidal was also great at the start of the season tho and crap in the second half so maybe it was just the entire team on a downer.
