  1. Como will pick up the pace eventually but rn they’re losing so many opportunities. They played better than Udinese and Cagliari and only managed to get 1 point

  2. Regarding the Napoli vs Parma Match the stats are really interesting compared to what has been narrated by media:

    – Parma xG of 1,17 is roughly 90% produced in the first 15 mins of the game. In fact, Parma produced 0.17 xG after the first quarter of the game.

    – Napoli xG production steadily increased during the game reaching 1,60 before the goals were even scored.

    – Napoli has played a much better second half than media reports, surpassing the 1.0 xG mark before Suzuki got expelled.

    So the narrative that Parma were in control of the game for 80 mins has been objectively an overstatement by the media. Parma was absolutely in control of the game in the first half tho, leaving napoli a mere 0,43 xG.

    If you are interested, You can find detailed xG maps on understat.com.

    On another match, is funny how monza scored 2 goals with just 0,3 xG. Sometimes a mix of ability and luck is on your side.

  3. Holy shit we are terrible in 3 matches Monza have created a total of 1 xG while being bottom for xG twice.

  4. As usual inter gets more than expected because of luck, I mean this match it’s obvious
