The difference in GD (-2 vs 16) is potentially worth another point too.
GD is often the really telling stat in the PL table. It shows you really just how far some clubs are from others.
Agree. The fact we’ve scored eighteen more than Man U, and conceded the same number, reveals a lot, especially when apparently we have all these big defensive problems under Ange’s system.
Also the fact they’ve lost nearly twice as many league matches as us this season.
I think the fact they are just one position below us masks some of the differences between where the clubs are at this moment. Our issues just feel so much more tractable than theirs. You can see where and how we can improve whereas it feels like they are drifting again.
