So the current points after 13 games is the only way of assessing who are the best performing sides in your view?
No, form and a bit of common sense is the best way. For example we have had a good run of results but fairly obviously have been terrible, where as Spurs are going through a rough patch but have played well enough and got enough results to justify their position. Xg doesn’t help come to decisions like that at all.

Xg has a Chelsea 5th in the league, which is the perfect example why it’s nonsense.

Let's hope Arsenal can win it this season. I think they've learnt from their bottling of last season.

Well it does help because that xg chart above shows us as significantly over performing. Chelsea's finishing has been their main problem if you watch their games.

Fair play to Arsenal, showing really good character this season after missing out last year.

5Live gushing about Rice... I did say he would have improved us - certainly better than Amrabat

It also shows Spurs as over performing which is why I highlighted those two clubs specifically.

If Chelsea can’t finish their chances then they don’t deserve to be higher up in the table. I mean scoring goals is only the most important part of football…

Wolves are playing well but just can't finish.

Tomiyasu is such an underrated player. He’s so solid in almost every single game. He reminds me of Azpi. Low maintenance player who can be relied upon to deliver a steady 7/10 games week in week in out. He’s been an excellent signing.

Agree. I think he had a couple of very prominent blunders along with the injuries, so people were a bit down on him. Not a spectacular player, but he's solid.

Where are the posters who told me at the end of last season that that was Arsenal's "Leicester season" and they might not even make top 4 this season?

Na, Arsenal are struggling going forward from open play and Rice is a major reason for that.
Plus feck that club after the news that we aren’t allowed to talk about came out today

Zinchenko is such a phony. Minutes before he was creating a huddle to tell everyone to calm down
