While we're on the topic of stats and how it proves we're fine as we are, we just have wasteful strikers.
Our strikers compared to the most praised ones (In Serie A, excluding PKs, both attempts and goals)
Icardi: 23 goals from 94 shots = 24.46%
Cutrone: 10 goals from 44 shots = 22.72%
Immobile: 22 goals from 102 shots = 21.56%
Kalinic: 6 goals from 49 shots = 12.25%
Dzeko: 16 goals from 152 shots = 10.52%
Silva: 2 goals from 35 shots = 5.71% (6 goals from 21 shots in EL = 28.57%)
These are the Milan players that fired most shots:
These numbers shouldn't be surprising at all if you watch the games.
We make lots of attempts. Most of it from our wingers and Kessie and Bona.
Suso has short spells where he can score, followed by long droughts.
Hakan was incredibly wasteful and selfish for most of the season, but there's optimism because he made huge improvements at the end.
Bona scores plenty of goals from late runs a la Noce, but the wannabe-Dinho in him will never die, so he'll keep going for the solo goal and screamer and see it fail almost every time.
Kessie is consistently shit at scoring and setting up teammates when he's in or near the box.
So yeah, we do need more reliable goal scorers, but it's not just the strikers that keep wasting chances and attacks. And it's not just the conversion that's the problem.
Why were you banned?I was banned when I read this...but I just wanted to say good post!
You're usually pretty accurate and coherent
the only issue I have with this is that the stats are a bit off.
for one thing Silva scored 8 goals not 6 in the EL
The other thing, is that when he comes on as a Sub....he'll be more shoot - happy that if he's starting...because he has less time to prove himself.
Someone called me a racist and I explained that a religion =/= race.
I got 0 against anyone from any religion or race for the record, not that it matters or the haters will take that as it is.
Don't want to get re-banned for saying this now
Worst agent of the year award goes to the guy who agreed on this.
I agree. That's why it's sad that he's going to earn only 500k more than Antonio Donnarumma and 4.5M less than his fraud brother.
