Didn’t say always, you made that up.
And I said it specifically knowing your answer.
You just undone all you weeks work defending Poch
I think goal difference is a highly underrated statistic when it comes to predicting where a team might finish.
We have the third best GD in the league currently and I always find that GD is a pretty reliable indicator of league position, despite our terrible form recently we still look like the third best team (on paper.)

Who's Pat?
Yes, his first yellow could have been a red. 2nd one I never got a good replay on, but it looked like a pull back.
I applaud how disingenuous you are because for someone that writes a lot you seem to disregard everything other than pure stats. Eriksen isn’t labelled a bottler for not being able to tackle, he is labelled a bottler because he pussies out of challenges he is a favourite to win. If he nicks the ball from a dawdling CM on the half way line he’s not exactly going to win a bravery award. This is why stats don’t prove most arguments.
Trippier made the most tackles by far out of any Spurs player last season. Does that make him the best defender? Is he the most brave? It probably means his side was targeted because he was the weak link. It’s also completely different tackling a winger with all the skill in the world vs tackling a CM with the technical ability of say Sissoko.
The point as always is you try and use stats for your agenda but 90% of this forum just laugh at you because they use their own eyes and see that it proves nothing.
Two very justified yellows
We're going to win the league!
Nibble nibble nibble
I thought he deserved the second yellow based on stupidity alone. First yellow could have gon straight red IMO
I've learned 2 things from this game. 10 men without Aurier play better than 11 with him. We simply don't have a RB.! It would be a huge mistake not to buy one in January. After watching the early game, I still say as I have before, we should try to buy George Baldock. He's excellent and if we strike while the iron's hot, he won't be expensive and will fill a gaping hole.
The 2nd thing I've learned today is we should always start Lamela. The guy has a great touch, good vision and plays his heart out. He's so often involved in the build up to a goal.
We got 3 points but the play really wasn't exciting or particularly interesting. Gutsy though. Love to have Ward-Prowse in our midfield.

Nonsense, how is it undone my defending of Poch?
Last season I would have dropped him and I’d have dropped him for the CL final as he was injured and out of form.
If someone who loves an argument as much as you has no response then I guess that proves everything.
