looks like we have 7 'winnable' matches before an International break mid-November followed by City and Chelsea back to back so lets hope yesterday was a 'blip' like the Sheff Utd match last season and we can start to get our shit together again like we did after that abomination of a performance.

Updated. Going forwards I will add goals/short highlights from the last season's corresponding fixture to refresh our memories ahead of the game. :)

How did we manage to have 3.5 PPG after two rounds last season? ?

So I understand what I'm seeing here...In the line graph, the lines represent how many points better or worse we were compared to the previous season after playing the same fixtures. The red line represents the current season (20/21) compared to last season (19/20), while the blue line represents last season (19/20) to the season before (18/19).

I thought I understood the bar graph, but I too don't understand how we could ever have a ppg over 3.

Also, might I suggest being consistent with the colors and years in each graph. It took a while to realize that red was 19/20 and blue was 20/21 in the first graph but vice versa in the second.

Thanks for doing this!

You are both absolutely right, I hadn't caught that. I don't know why it showed 3,5ppg either because when I hovered over the graph it gave me y=2. Now I have fiddled with it and it should be right. I also changed the colours for consistency. Input greatly appreciated!

Was just looking at the points per game and wondering what's required to win the league (I know I'm being very optimistic but I was just curious).

2019/20 - Liverpool - 2.61 ppg
2018/19 - Man City - 2.58 ppg
2017/18 - Man City - 2.63 ppg
2016/17 - Chelsea - 2.45 ppg (for reference we had 2.26 ppg)
2015/16 - Leicester - 2.13 ppg

Based on that I would say the target should be 2.5? I mean, you could aim higher but even 2.5 sounds optimistic in the PL.

Crazy season so far. We’ve taken 7 points from matches which yielded 0 last season, but only 1 from matches which yielded 6. 2 points up is still 2 points up. Good news is we only managed 5 points from our next 3 matches equivalents last season, so with the opponents in mind we have a chance to make big inroads into having a good season before we face a challenging run.

I think it's going to be a low points tally whoever wins the title this season.

Agreed. For whatever reason, I just don’t see any team that looks like getting a 90+ season (sorry Dean Smith).

I reckon if we break the 70 mark were top 4, and if we can break the 85 mark we’ve won it. Seems a long way off after last night but I see more to be encouraged about then to be fearful about.

Unless someone suddenly puts a proper run together, then it will be quite scrappy in the end. We still have every chance to be in the mix at the end of the season if we get our shit together defensively, I don't think scoring goals will be the issue.
