Its because of fans arguing v our good start due to not playing any top 6 sides yet.
It doesn't make sense. Be it Wembley or horrendous transfer windows it could be argued that 3 of those 6 are substantially weaker than last year.
Is facing Liverpool at home really that much harder than Southampton away as we sit here today? Does that prove anything?
Its not as if City had Evertons run of games, we won't really know how good our win v Southampton or Chelsea battering Stoke will be until well into the season anyway. We would have sat here last year lamenting a dodgey away win v Burnley only to find out how good they would be at home.
Maybe these points are huge because we've lost our best player who could play in our 'harder' games and actually make it easier for us?
