Curious to see Fati for Brighton. They are kind of fun to watch as a whole, but he has a ton of potential

They are a fun side to watch. Having European football this season is going to mean a lot more rotation for them than usual. I wonder if Fati can find his form again

Also curious to see Gravenberch for Liverpool. I really wanted United to sign him, but they are run by a bunch with the collective IQ of s pond scum.

United starting Martial up top. Apparently they are confused and think you can take to get the top draft picks.

Heartbreak for United, looked like they snatched a victory before VAR disallowed it.

Beautiful finish. Happy to get three points out of that as it didn’t seem like it was going to happen

Thought this was pretty interesting view. Shows who is over performing and who is under performing their expected points.

Another stat that doesn’t feel real:

Chelsea have created the most “Big Chances” in the PL this year with 11.

They haven’t scored a single goal off of those big chances. Woof. Still can’t finish.

This is somewhat reassuring as an Everton fan, and backs up how watching the matches has felt. Performances are well above relegation form, just haven’t had results go our way. Hopefully that will come with time as the squad has a little more time to heal up and gel with one another.

Another mind-blowing Chelsea stat that was mentioned on Men in Blazers this week…Chelsea spent more on transfers during Poch’s first transfer window with the club that Spurs did combined in the ELEVEN windows he was with them.

Unfortunately, your 2nd point is not mind blowing to me. The transfer windows while Poch was at Spurs were so frustrating. One of the best strikers in the world and they were doing little to improve the squad around him.

Yeah, quite a few reassuring lines to draw there for multiple teams. Chelsea is similar to Everton in that I think they are the two teams in that graphic with the worst under performing difference of expected to actual. Everton is 5 pt diff, Chelsea is 4 pt diff. That should even out as time goes on. I think it also goes along with over performing teams that I felt are going to crash back down to earth some too. West Ham has the biggest difference in their over performance. I still think they will be good but asking them to keep up with that variance of over performing will be very difficult.

As far as the Poch stat, yeah it’s wild. Wish more of that was spent on PL experience though. A decent chunk of that money spent will be on players that may never even play for Poch in a PL game. Idk what the spend was but we spent a lot of money on a bunch of South American teenagers the past 3 windows. They feel more like investments that we can flip for cash flow after a few years. If a couple pan out to be really good then that’s just even better. Doesn’t help the short term though.
