Week 17: Salernitana - Milan December 22 2023 20:45CET

[reza]

Friday match against Pippo coached team

Kjaer predicted to start, Theo return to left.
Kalulu, Caldara, Thiaw, Pobega seem to be long term. Okafor and Musah not as long.

[Santino]

Probable Milan XI (4-3-3): Maignan; Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Hernandez; Loftus-Cheek, Bennacer, Reijnders; Pulisic, Giroud, Leao
I would put Kjaer, Pulisic and Giround on the bench. Also Pobega is out until may.

Interested to see that midfield. On paper, that's our best midfield.

[nefremo]

Classic Milan in this 1st half. Squander chances to go up 2-0 by being nonchalant in front of goal. Then give away a goal to make it 1-1

[Santino]

WTF...We defend like a Serie B team

[Zio Fester]

Another goal conceded on a corner. Defence is so fragile.

This club is not serious anyway as keeping on Pioli proves.

[nefremo]

Not very good overall. We make some horrible decisions in front of goal (surprise surprise) and should have gone up 2-0. On the other hand, we are so opened up defensively and we give Salernitana a ton of room. Acres of space for them to attack. We got lucky on a couple occasions and Mike saved us a couple times. The goal was surely coming, seeing as how we were defending.

No difference from what we've seen so far this season. Same problems on display again. Another day, and another instance where Milan misses clear cut chances (or makes an amateur decision with thr last pass) and defends like an amateur side. Let's hope we can score 1 more than them in the 2nd half. But this performance has been pretty bad overall so far.

I'll single out 1 player that NEEDS to do more, and it's Leao. He's looked horrible yet again. His decision making has been so shockingly bad.

[Beppe]

Not a good game at all. We always look so disorganized, we never look like we are impossible to score against. We always look very stretched and out of position.
And in attack we are also very mediocre, though I think we gonna win this one.

Hope you are right on the result. I 100% agree. The disorganization and how stretched we are defensively is shocking to see, really. What's even more shocking is that it's been happening all season, apart from a game here and there (PSG at home comes to mind), yet Pioli hasn't fixed it. Not even sure if he is trying to fix it as we look the same week in week out. The fact that he hasn't been able to achieve compactness with this group in now 6 months of work, is simply incredible and a sign that he is not doing a good job.

[Bennacer]

Leao the leader! If not even Zlatan can kick his balls up against the wall to make improvement, who the fuck can. I cant stand that fucking clown anymore. I really hope we sell this summer. There are so many good LW out there who will fit this team even better.

Otherwise, i like some of the moves in possesion. Quick, fluid and with purpose, but it stops at the D as it always do.

Positives: Tomori: Love his passion, and quick reaction goal. Reijnders looks so confindent on the ball. Maignan. Couple of good saves.
Negatives: Leao. Sluggish, arrogant, careface attitude, Giroud: Invicible. RLC: He has lost his level big time recently. Come on!

We will take this in the second half, thanks to Jovic. Mark my words.
