CM: Tomori and Maignan struggle as Milan’s defensive issues are exposed again

The defensive phase has become a problem for AC Milan, who conceded twice against bottom of the league Salernitana last night and were held to a draw.

Calciomercato.com describes the game as a trap that Milan slipped into by themselves, wasting a huge opportunity to send a message to Inter and Napoli as they were held at the Stadio Arechi in a game that feels like a defeat due to the lapses in concentration, the inattentiveness and the wasted chances.

Milan concede too many goals, having let in 2 against Salernitana, Sassuolo and Spezia, and those players they thought were certainties such as Mike Maignan and Fikayo Tomori even fell victim to distraction and had poor performances.

Simon Kjaer’s absence absence is making itself felt especially in terms of leadership, and it is a problem to which Pioli must immediately find a solution, namely on Friday when the Rossoneri return to the field against Udinese.
