Como had nearly 70% possession. Double the corners and shots but still lost.
Good win in the end but Allegri's football is hard to watch. Bunkered for the last 20 mins inviting so much unnecessary pressure.

I want to see the xG for both teams. My guess is something like 1.1 for us and 2.5 for Como. Where to find that stat, Reza (or anyone else)?
If you have that info, please share.
I am so happy right now! Work was cancelled due to heavy snow otherwise I wouldn't be able to watch today. I still had to suffer through the entire game but who cares as long as we get home 3 points.

Also, does anyone know what is the tie-breaker for this season? H2H or GD? (I know that I am thinking way too ahead.)

1.79 vs 1.28 actualy.
How did they win this?

We were terrible in the 1st half. We were lucky to end the half a goal down...yet somehow, even more incredibly, we went into the dressing rooms all tied up.
Love him or hate him though, Max made some brilliant adjustments at the half. Then Maignan and Rabiot also came through.
Take the 3 points a move on i guess. This is Como's 1st loss at home. They play good and brave football. But this is football. And nobody cares about possession stats.

We do. He plays at Lecce right now. Unlucky kid. I really thought that he would get incorporated into the first team before Davide Bartesaghi. Last season we had Theo with Saelesmaeker and Jimenez both capable of backing him up, I honestly never expected Bartesaghi to take over anytime soon. Credit to him as he took the opportunity (i.e. Estupinan sucking) so well and is now holding the position tightly to his own.
Can you imagine if Camarda was in the team? With our attacking department crisis, I am sure that he would have been loaded with opportunities.

I suppose that 1.28 was for us, right? In the first half, I remember seeing 0.85 for us. I don't know how those xG is calculated, but if a penalty was only 0.85 (the other shot by Fofana was weaker any grandma's kick), I honestly don't see Rabiot's two shots with a high xG.
On the other hand, Como's xG of 1.79 seems a bit low to me. I feel Nico Paz alone would already have that. LOL.

I read that they widened the pitch for this game.
In western world, they say that 'if it ain't broken, don't fix it'. Or, in Chinese way, we say that is bad for their feng shui.

De Winter has adapted.
Nkunku is adapting, along with Ricci & Jashari.
Fullkrug is already played his part, a sub striker with target man role.
And 3 points. But Lecce will be a harder test.

What a match. The first half was the most embarrasing half in years to be honest. A lot of kudos to Como, but to be outplayed at such a level is just crazy bad.
I was happy with the win, but not entirely satisfied, it leaves a bit of a bad taste that we honestly played a really bad game. If Como had a proper attacker we would certaintly had lost this game heavily. We are Milan and shouldt be dominated as this whatsoever.
Ayways nice to put the pressure on Inter. 3 points are nothing. They have a difficult match against Udinese away, we have Lecce at home. After the weekend we can absolutely be level or just a point behind. The race is wide open. Exiting!
My rating 1-10:
- Maignan: 8.
- Tomori: 6.
- Gabbia: 6,5.
- De Winter: 6,5.
- Saelemakers: 6,5.
- Modric: 6.
- Fofana: 5.
- Rabiot: 8,5.
- Bartesaghi: 6.
- Leao: 5,5.
- Nkunku: 5,5.
Fullkrug. 6,5.
Ricci: 6.
RLC. 6.

I would put both Mike and Rabiot both at 9. Their performance was out of this world, and the only reason that we got 3 points from this important game. Fullkrug is the other unsung hero.
I also want to point out that Saelesmaeker's hustle in both games were so instrumental, though he didn't receive any official assist count in either of the Nkunko goals.
I read that Zaniolo will miss Inter game, as three Lecce players did. Not necesarily crying foul, but needless to say, I am annoyed. We need all the help that we can get. I hope that Inter's luck will run out soon.
