2 points separate us, it's time for you to accept that we are rivals for the same finishing PL place. I know reality isn't really your forte but you're nowhere near that first PL title. You;re battling with Saints, Spurs, United and Arsenal for 3rd/4th. Regression ( as usual ) for Pool after 100+ million spent.
Spent Schment. teams of 11 take to the field and go head to head v another 11, they aall pull out stats on who spent what and play card trading.. well.. if that's how it was done you might be higher up the table but unfortunately for you football gets played instead.

You lot have been very good but.. you squandered a huge lead after Spurs Arsenal Liverpool and United all got off to slow starts with last year's Everton missing too.
We're what? 16 points off last season, that would put you 18 points behind, you'd be 8th or 9th had the teams shown the same form and that's after spending 70m. Your new players should be bedding in now and things improving, but it's been the reverse, flew out of the traps and have now run out of steam a little bit, setting the pace for 4th and lower has taken its toll. Was it really living in the real world to expect that kind of points per game ratio to hold up all season?
