3 points instead of 2, obviously. Any other answer must surely be the result of reading too much into the question.
Far too clever an answer for this message board
Let's put it another way
Over a 38 game season would you like to:
have 50 points?
have 60 points?
have 70 points?
If they'd beaten us and Bournemouth, I'd agree, but they only got a point. They've lost too many games and don't seem to have enough goals in the team to mount a challenge for top 4 anymore. They'll be lucky to get 6th at this rate (even Mou is talking Europa now).Depends, losing to Chelsea would have meant that they'd be 2 points higher up whereas we would only be 1.
They'll still be in the hunt for top 4, without a doubt.
Yeah I think that Bournemouth result was a step too far.If they'd beaten us and Bournemouth, I'd agree, but they only got a point.

Not necessarily. The psychological impact of a loss, or, alternatively, an unbeaten run - is unquantifiable. It could be that remaining unbeaten is a vital confidence boost.
