Ah, by outlier heavy defeats I mean heavy defeats to mid-table sides. We won't use whatever mad setup was attempted vs Woolwich, nor hopefully the injury/red card/selection issues of the Palace game. Sure, we could lose by 2 or 3 to City or Liverpool.We have more heavy defeats coming yet, United this weekend, Chelsea away, Liverpool away, City away to name a few
But personally I think we'll be a decent enough, boring team for most of the season and won't be any worse than last season points-wise over 38 games.
