From : https://www.not606.com/threads/season-compass-2023-24.407356/#post-16775760 - November 6 pts up for grabs, one opponent who finished above us. - December 6 pts up for grabs, 7 games , 3 opponents who finished above us (including Citeh) . As I stated then, by Jan 1 we will know what shape Spurs are in for a top 4 finish,
Interesting that we are scoring at the same rate last year when we had Kane. Many were fearful of losing his circa 30 goals a season.
We're just attacking a lot more. I suspect if you replaced Richarlison with Kane in this side then we'd have scored a lot more. May not have affected our overall total, but the goal difference may be better.
I believe the GF will be negative on the "like for like" come season end, because Son + squad cannot match Son + Kane. Similarly I believe that if Spurs finish in the top 4, they will have the lowest GD
Yeah, I can imagine we wound have scored more if Kane was still in the team. Not convinced our goal difference will be the lowest of the top 4 should we finish there but there’s a chance I suppose. Let’s hope that the goal difference isn’t a factor at the end of the season.
If what I believe comes to pass, then Spurs will be clear of those below them by virtue of points. How much less on GF I am not sure. Of all the remaining games on the "like for like" , Spurs scored more than 3 goals in only 6 (the next fixture interestingly being one of them) .
PL (like for like with 2022-23 after 10 games) : Pts = +9, GF = -2, GA = -9, clean sheets = +3, W = +3, D = 0, L= -3.
So 6 pts up for grabs on the "like for like" in november. With Villa also currently in good form, another measure of how well the system is faring against the better teams.
PL (like for like with 2022-23 after 11 games) : Pts = +6, GF = -3, GA = -5, clean sheets = +2, W = +2, D = 0, L= -2.
PL (like for like with 2022-23 after 12 games) : Pts = +6, GF = -2, GA = -4, clean sheets = +2, W = +2, D = 0, L= -2.
PL (like for like with 2022-23 after 13 games) : Pts = +6, GF = -1, GA = -4, clean sheets = +2, W = +2, D = 0, L= -2.
