Took 3 random teams who finished below us last season, West Ham Huddersfield & Stoke. Here are their (and our) GD stats against last season's top 3
West Ham GF 5, GA 14, -9
Huddersfield GF 1, GA 12, -11
Stoke GF 6, GA 21, -15
Newcastle GF 3, GA 11, -8
We finished above 2 teams solely because of the GD. It could easily happen again this season, but instead of for 10th it could be for 17th.
Can't for the life of me understand why people don't understand why Rafa plays the way he does against these teams which are so clearly miles better than us. GD counts, man. A lot, potentially.
Attack more today and lose 4-0 and the same people will be wondering why the fuck we were so open
