Noticed Serie A with plenty of goals this season as well. 3.5 so far, in 34 matches, 4 rounds. Will be at 3.6 in some 10 minutes.Average number of goals per game so far this season: 3.8
Average number of goals per game in 19/20: 2.7
Average number of goals per game in 18/19: 2.8
Average number of goals per game in 17/18: 2.7
Average number of goals per game in 16/17: 2.8

I know it's only been 5 games into the season. But the PL so far have been absolutely full of goals.
I don't know if that's a VAR thing, or a tiredness thing, or poor defending thing. But it is a thing.
No fans leads to far more open games, goals are up all over the placeNoticed Serie A with plenty of goals this season as well. 3.5 so far, in 34 matches, 4 rounds. Will be at 3.6 in some 10 minutes.
Which begs the question why most managers and teams become nigh on cowards when there are fans. It’s not like playing defensive is more beneficial too. By going gung ho, teams like Everton, Villa, Brighton and Leicester have proven to essentially be equals to the big boys.No fans leads to far more open games, goals are up all over the place

I think it’s one of those innate feelings as a fan - especially a neutral - to overrate the capacities of a side and a coach who are more aesthetically pleasing than one who simply get the job done. Brighton have scored 9 goals in 5 matches, which is more than anyone around them has or anyone they want to be competing with, but they’ve also conceded an unimpressive 11 goals. Fine line between playing good football and it veering on the side of tactical naivety at this level.That's the thing. As a neutral I'd much rather watch Brighton play than Palace and bar Zaha you'd say their squads are of similar ability e.g. Lallana as good as Townsen, Maupay as good as Ayew/Batsuyhai, White as good as Cahill etc yet Palace hold on and they're already 6 clear of Brighton and will feel confident of finishing ahead of their rivals. Also beat Man. United comfortably which Brighton couldn't do despite their dominance.
So which coach of the two is getting the best out of the squads at their disposal? It's an interesting question.
Look at how Moyes is setting up his team, don't think it'll be in any way comfortable for Spurs.Eurgh just can't stand mourinho and spurs, really hope they lose but I suspect they'll win comfortably. Mourinho has set them up really well
To be fair, 10 of those were conceded against Chelsea, Manutd, and Everton (who have had a great season). Can you say they played the wrong way against us? They completely dominated us and had plenty of chances to score, except for poor finishing. Despite the goals conceded, they should have won. The same can be said for the game against Chelsea as well. They even played well against Everton, but I would say Everton were the better team in that game.I think it’s one of those innate feelings as a fan - especially a neutral - to overrate the capacities of a side and a coach who are more aesthetically pleasing than one who simply get the job done.
