Liverpool and City are the two best teams in the world right now. After them, the EPL is no different to other leagues.

? Any top 6 clubs in PL will be title contenders in this league.
Any of the bottom 3 clubs in PL will be in top 10 Serie A easily.

Castillejo, muscle fatigue

Srsly, how? First of all, you need to have muscles. And secondly, you need to play.

Ours set their standard high.

Probably because Milan has a balanced scoring load, defenders and midfielders will generally tend to not have as high an xG

The only person who plays regularly for the squad and would be considered clinical is Giroud and he's useless unless the ball is on his left foot
If anything having a lot of scorers will make you underperform on xG because you have a lot of players getting scoring chanches who are not natural finishers.

The title race in Serie A is more intense, but PL has much more quality. Just watch City vs Liver game, no one in Serie A is anywhere close to this level.
City and Liverpool are far ahead of any team in Serie A but after that the quality drops off. Chelsea in Serie A could be the best team in the league by a bit and the rest of the chasing pack Spurs/Arsenal/West Ham/MAn Utd are similar to Serie A’s top teams (Spurs are a machine now under Conte but still)

Serie as does have a problem at the bottom as the bottom 6 teams or so would be rock bottom of EPL. I am not convinced any of these teams would survive relegation in the EPL with their current teams. Udinese is 12th here while their sister club Watford is like 19th and certain to get relegated outside a miracle.

Overall people overstate how “shit” Serie A actually is. For example Atalanta has played the 3rd and 4th strongest Bundesliga teams recently. This is an Atalanta without Zapata and Illicic but still they have matched and even surpassed the 3rd and 4th strongest Bundesliga teams.

A full strength Atalanta is as strong as say West Ham and even went toe to toe with Man Utd when they were in the top 4 of EPL

love that we would still be first even if we lose today
No, Inter still have their game in hand so all being at 32 played they could go ahead technically. Anyway, must win after the embarrassment last weekend. Dominate a game but can't score to win is super shit. No repeat, 3 points today and hope Inter draw game in hand (or lose). Gives us a technical "can lose" in the last 6 rounds if the other two were to win 6/6.

Picking up this many injuries when you are playing 1 game a week is a joke. Besides revamping the attack this summer they need to take a serious look at their training staff.

Yep. After City and Liverpool there's a drop off.

Have to think Ibra is for sure going to retire now regardless. Father time has caught up with him.

I wonder if they'll get Belotti along with Origi.

Chelsea are terrible, Pep being a moron in the CL final last year has given Tuchel more credit than he deserves. That is an expensively assembled team that is pretty close to profoundly shit Spurs and Arsenal considering what they've spent.

Liverpool and City both playing their versions of 433 is interesting

I would love for Milan to bring in some dynamic attacks and switch to it, there are so many quality midfielders (Tonali, Benna) at the club with more coming in (Renato, Pobega, Adli)

Feels wasteful to leave any of them on the bench

Issue is with Giroud and the rotation of shit at RW its impossible

While I agree with you that our injury record is a joke, injuries during training do happen, and if they are taking precautions so those players will be better off to finish the season, by sacrificing this game, that's fine.

The injury situation needs to be addressed, it holds us back more than anything else. Torino is a tough, tough game, physically punishing, and I do not look forward to seeing Brahim play today.

Both of the teams will win Serie A by like 30pts margin but just because these 2 are too good doesn’t mean there will be drop off in quality after them? Chelsea and Spur will win this league. West Ham, Ars and even ManU will be title contenders easily. They suck because they play in such a hard league like PL.

It'll be fun to keep an eye on Serie B as well. 4 games left and Monza are in 2nd. We could be seeing Silvio and Galliani again soon. If Monza get promoted I wonder if Silivio will pull out the check book?
