You make fair points.Those other teams are more open than we are, so they are going to concede more. And that’s proven. With the exception of City who have scored a few less than us and have been playing without a striker recently. So they are hardly playing free flowing attacking football either.
And we are fifth in goals scored too. Fair, we had a freak result at United (or we just played really well), but also consider that United scored 6 in a match, Liverpool had a 7, Leeds 5 twice, Palace got a 5, as did City, Villa got 7, Everton 5, several teams including West Ham and Leicester have at least one match where they got 4. Do we not count any of these results either?
You don’t have to copy and paste anything, we are second in goals conceded, fifth in goals scored and second in goal difference.
I suppose two questions I’ll have to ask then is, do you enjoy watching us play?
If Jose doesn’t win a trophy this year do we give this turgid style of football another chance?
