The downside of an old squad is that player will get worse comparing to himself a year earlier.

For instance, Acerbi declining is obvious... I am expecting the same for Darmian, Sommer or De Vrij. Even Mikhy. Not to mention the backups.

Keeping the same form as last year is a huge question marks.

Sure that, but count the players that tipically get better with age in our squad: Martinez, Pavard, Bisseck, Basto, Dumfries, Carlos, Dimarco, Barella, Frattesi, Asllani, Lautaro, Thuram.
I’d argue that even Zielinski, Taremi and Hakan are in the middle of their prime, but wouldn’t say that they can become even better than what they’ve already shown.

I wouldn’t worry about the age thing this season, but certainly we have to rejuvenate a bit next summer.

The calculations surely don't take current season squad status into account. It doesn't update Atalanta losing their entire backbone Scamacca Scalvini and Koopmeiners, for the whole season...still putting them in 2nd.

Goal line technology fail, VAR succeeds. It looked obvious.

Torino up vs Milan

Was the watch not working or something? Maresca clearly looked at his watch immediately following that sequence, so I don't know what else could explain what happened.

Couldn't care less about Milan but I know already that I will be pissed whole week cause Juventus is +2. Don't want to see that even after just first round.

Gobbi is being overrated IMO. They aren't ready for Scudetto yet, way too many changes in the team. They have to overcome a major obstacle which every team in transition does. Despite of our slow start of the season, I still think we're very likely to win Scudetto again this season.

Milan without Giroud to bail them out are 6th place material.
Their individual defenders are atrocious and they have absolutely no idea what to do in attack unless they're countering.
