Well considering our new playmaker hasn't played a minute yet. Neither have our brand new left-back and brand new keeper, nor our best player post-lockdown. You say 'albeit very early' as if that isn't enough to withhold judgement. Looking at how the rest of the top 6 have started, I'd say our first 3 games falls right in line with how other teams around us have performed.
As I have said all along, context is important. If less than 80 points can get you 2nd place, then it's obviously been a difficult season with the lack of preparation, shortened recovery time etc - as
@Dancfc said, it looks like these whacky results have happened to United, City, Chelsea, Bayern, PSG, Dortmund - and that will be taken into consideration when we're assessing Lampard next summer.
