Nah.

This is the difference between the fixtures so far and the same fixtures last season:

Brighton (+2)
Liverpool (=)
West Brom *
Crystal Palace (=)
Southampton (+1)
Man Utd (+1)
Burnley (=)
Sheffield Utd (+2)
Newcastle (+3)
Spurs (-2)
Leeds *
Everton (=)
Wolves (-3)

West Brom and Leeds are of course the newly promoted sides and them aside, the difference of points gained/loss is only +4. But at the end of the day, points gained/loss from same fixtures last season don't matter here. The fact of the matter is, we're 4 points worse off after 13 games this season than at the same stage last season and both times, our form began to plummet when there was a big talk of challenging for the title. 

['=' = no difference to the number of points picked up this season vs last season]

Does not make any difference to me. I prefer the corresponding fixtures. You can see the improvement/getting worse better 

Anyway, don't you know that the teams that got promoted (West Brom, Leeds) should be counted in as well? You just use the teams that got relegated, ie Bournemouth away (= West Brom away = both draws = ) or Norwich at home (= Leeds at home = both wins =). You as a statsman should know better

I am aware of that but how does one go about selecting which side to compare? For example, I could pick the Bournemouth game to make it look bad while you could pick the Norwich one to make it look good. It's why I always feel uneasy when people do that.

Alphabetically, geography?  Whatever that keeps my mind occupied and forget a bit about the current form...

18th = 1st in the Champ

19th = 2nd

20th = play off winner

Seems the fairest way.

But that's not the official way of comparing? Anyway, not much difference...

Brighton (+2)
Liverpool (=)
West Brom (-2) - compared with Watford
Crystal Palace (=)
Southampton (+1)
Man Utd (+1)
Burnley (=)
Sheffield Utd (+2)
Newcastle (+3)
Spurs (-2)
Leeds (+3) - compared with Bournemouth
Everton (=)
Wolves (-3)

Think if he doesn't pick up at least 5 points from West Ham, Arsenal and Aston Villa should be gone.

[Milan 17,955]

So +5! That is a bit more positive!

Klopp and Mourinho mind games

they are both masters at it

[Supermonkey92 1,428]

Who would you replace him with?

Poch is the only decent one available

We hung in to Mourinho too long because of sentiment and we ended up missing out on Jurgen Klopp, do the same now and we will miss out on Poch/ whoever else to Arsenal / Madrid / Utd

I highly doubt we would have gotten Klopp back then given our constant hiring/firing nature.
