Disclaimer: I'm not necessarily saying that our current team is as good as the team that won the league in 2013.

After 17 games we're almost done with half the season. Things have clearly gotten better, but how does Mourinho's team actually compare to Fergie's teams post-Ronaldo(2009-2013)? This is the current situation:
Points: 38
Goal difference: +26
And this is Fergie's average stats at the same stage(post-Ronaldo):
Points: 39.5
Goal difference: +23
____________________________________________________________________
In terms of points and goal difference, we're just about were we could expect to be back in the Fergie days. Other similarities:
- Defensively stable, while still occasionally conceding silly goals.
- Generally full control over lower and mid-table teams. Each game is all about scoring that first goal, and then it's done.
- City is both our achilles heel and main rival. Poor results.
- Careful approach when playing against Pool on Anfield.
- Stamford Bridge is still a head-scratcher for us.
- Good results are semi-expected against Tottenham and Arsenal.
