Palarse

Played well there. Missed Taiwo. CHO the only negative for me. Looks like we've found a player with Murillo.

We actually looked like a decent PL side there. With a bit of luck we’d have had all three points. Decent enough point though. 5 clear of relegation (6 really due to goal difference).

That was a moderately competent game of football between two moderately competent teams with reasonable aspirations to finish mid table.

Agreed... plus slightly Elanga in his cameo.

CHO needs to run at people more, plus get into the middle when there's opportunity.

Alright Chris Sutton.

I think he'll be fine once he finds his feet and some confidence.

For me, he's slightly too easy to mark at the moment because every time he gets the ball, he's looking to come straight inside on to his right foot. Now and again, I'd like to see him run the full-back on the outside - if for no other reason than to put some doubt in his mind next time CHO gets the ball.

That was a good cagey game in which we looked like we edged in the sort of bloke who can change a result talent stakes

I thought CHO started alright and is looking quite confident on the ball and fit, which given how little he has played and how little impact he has had since his achilles injury is promising. It wasn't his best game today by any means, but he looks like he might be capable of getting back to his best and if he can get to even two thirds of that we have a bargain.

Add a fit Felipe, Awoniyi and Danilo to the mix, maybe a bit of Niakhate with his massive throws, and upgrade the keeper and we look promising.

Saying that, I have no criticism of Turner today. He had little to do but he didn't do anything wrong and his kicking wasn't as off as usual (he only really needs to kick as far as Murillo when Murillo is playing anyway and then he can Pirlo it up, it seems).

That was a good performance. Unlucky not to win. The Montiel shot would have deflected into the goal 9 times out of 10. We’ve come a long, long way since Leicester away this time last year.

Still level with last season's results...

Do you mean versus comparable teams? Because after 8 games last season (4 at home v 3 this year) we had 4 points not 9.

I made a spreadsheet.

Yes. Same teams or their replacement.

What an earth is this.

Let's take Chelsea away. What does "Points Comparison 2", and "Points to date comparison 2" mean?

Given we drew away last year at Chelsea, but we've beaten them away this year, the 'result' should be +2 on last year. Shouldn't it?

I'm not going to delete my post above, despite I think understanding your method/display now. But it's still crap.

You're right, it should say difference, not comparison. And it should have a plus sign. I made it on a tablet, and wrongly assumed the reader wasn't expecting professional standards. I'll try harder.
