The Italian giants have won just one of their seven league fixtures in 2015 – falling to 11th in the table as a result.
A home fixture against relegation-threatened Cesena on Sunday gives Filippo Inzaghi's men an excellent chance to reverse their slump.
The midfielder emphasised the importance of a united squad and told the club's official website: "We are in a difficult time [but] we have to stick together and try to change the situation.
"We are trying to do our best. These moments happen in football, we cannot let our heads drop.
"We have the quality to get out of this crisis. We are working hard to improve.
"We need them [our fans], but it is normal that they are not happy… [we want to] make them smile again.
"Against Cesena we have to be positive... and try to win the game."
Without a clean sheet in nine matches in all competitions, it is a further blow to Milan's defence.
Inzaghi will at least be encouraged by Mattia Destro's goal against Empoli.
Franco Brienza's equaliser with 20 minutes to play capped an impressive performance from Domenico Di Carlo's side.
