This is interesting. The order of fixtures really is a big factor in perceptions. This says Liverpool has tougher games ahead and if Arsenal can solve the Fulham puzzle we are back on track!

Wow that Liverpool number stands out for me for being less apparent / intuitive if someone followed last season closely

zaidmo.bsky.social•85 days ago

Well, Arsenal lost 5 points against Fulham last year. It's time to make it up.

People forget, Liverpool was in the title hunt last season. It fizzled at the very end. Remember the narrative was Klopp will win it as the best send off. But City did a City and Arsenal did an Arsenal vs Villa at home. Liverpool as had the same CORE team for years - they are tried and tested.

I will hope it’s -1 after the weekend and Liverpool -3. Glad to see Everton with a victory Wednesday - we hope they will follow up Saturday afternoon.

Sp*rs only -3 😮 Around this time last year they were winning the league?

danhikj.bsky.social•85 days ago

It's the equivalent fixtures, not after the same number of games. So, against the same teams at the same places, they're three points worse off than they were last season.

Ah, thank you! Didn’t read properly.

The Newcastle one is surprising - feels like they’ve fallen off

danielbushby.bsky.social•85 days ago

They fell off last season

deputyhoncho.bsky.social•85 days ago

True - i guess id assumed theyd bounce back because fatigue seemed like a significant part of their drop off

Newcastle are proving to be right around exactly where they belong, consistently in that top six battle but really not a top four club.

Our fanbase would slate me for this but that’s how I see Villa rn as well. 4th place last year was a bit of a stretch result and I think this season we end up somewhere between 6th and 8th

danielbushby.bsky.social•84 days ago

Losing Diaby & Essentially Bailey is to big a loss for Villa to overcome this season. Anywhere from 6th -10th feels right.

There's a lot of institutional inertia that needs to be overcome for any of the nontraditional top clubs to not just break through but maintain. And top clubs usually have slide and as we often see they don't stay down for too long.
