So you've a massive hard-on for Dybala and yet Messias is your starting AM...? Okay
Please tell me you typed Messi and put Messias there by mistake
Dybala is a tier 2 top player whereas Junior is obviously tier 1 aka Ballon d'Or materialSo you've a massive hard-on for Dybala and yet Messias is your starting AM...? Okay
Relax, it wasn't that long.
I wouldn't even trust him to deliver the trophy to the real winner.Dybala is a tier 2 top player whereas Junior is obviously tier 1 aka Ballon d'Or material
this means that we are 11 points higher than what we should be going by XG for and against?This is very true, unfortunately:

Their xG is way higher than the rest of the league.
On a serious note, maybe Investcorp is just an investment vehicle for billionaire Arabs to plough money into Milan a la PSG/City and return the club to it's former glory. Also, it's interesting to note that there's an intense push to get the deal over the line before the season ends and just in time for the summer mercato (just like Yonghong in 2017). Therefore, I don't rule out the possibility of a stratospheric market although I won't be holding my breath either.Guys what do you make of this? https://sempremilan.com/investcorp-vehicle-milan-saudi-qatari
Every team that does well overperforms its xG, most championship teams (every team in the last 20 years) have exceeded their xG by like over 10, consistently.this means that we are 11 points higher than what we should be going by XG for and against?
Can I translate that to - we are lucky to be where we are given the balance of chances created and conceded?
Coached by Saint Padre PioliI would create Saint Team with Messias, Jesus, Mohamed Salah.
I already had a little rant about xP. It's a weird metric.this means that we are 11 points higher than what we should be going by XG for and against?

Botman did well to make up for his DM's mistake. Sanches, again, very impressive. I'll be honest, Botman looks like Romagnoli does on his below-average days so far. I know this is a singular game, but, based on this game alone (which is stupid and you should never do this) I'd rather extend...forum.acmilan-online.com
Yeah we are outperforming our xG and xGA, but not as much as 11 points. Besides xG and xGA difference does not necesarly mean luck. Might jsut be taht we have good finishers and great shot stoper.
As Sam said - better teams tend to overachieve. Better teams are better at creating chances (xG), but also better at converting them (G-xG)
Investvorp is one of the better asset managers in the region. They invest the money of rich families and companies. So to say that they’re involved and would own Milan is the same as saying we’re owned by Elliotts shareholders and not Elliott management. Technically true but really not the point.Guys what do you make of this? https://sempremilan.com/investcorp-vehicle-milan-saudi-qatari
Yeah lol, I hesitated to write this, but I was trying to make more genaral statement about the methodology, not necessarily just about ACM. Besides it's individuals like Sale and Diaz that are dragging us down, other players are doing allright if you look beyond last 8(ish) games
They do sometimes spin off investments and ‘sell’ them to one of their prime investors. That’s an exit strategy that they might use for Milan.hand us over to one of their shareholders, probably MubadalaInvestvorp is one of the better asset managers in the region.

Messias had maybe 3-4 good games this season.
Saelemakers had none this season, but last year he had around 8-9 good ones.
Between the two, I would probably keep Salad because of a higher resale value, the possibility of further development and because I think he is liked by the rest of the squad.
However, I think that neither one of them will develop much especially if they play second fiddle to a real RW.
Messias lacks the physical sharpness and discipline needed for a player entering his 30s. I bet you that next game he will go back to his "I just finished eating a T-bone steak" form.
Saelemamers lacks a lot of the basics such as crossing and one-touch play. He is like a street footballer with some slick moves but cannot keep it simple.
If the opportunity arrives that both of them are sold (+Samu of course) we should take it.
Exactly.. he is just over complicating everything nowCrazy part is he used to do the opposite. a year ago he would keep it simple, recycle the ball and not lose possession. It seems like he learned 1 dribble move and now can't help himself, and loses the ball all game
