Going into expected points per game shows that this season has a few black sheeps hidden in the flock.

They lost out on points at Anfield when they were by far the better team, they also deserved to pummel Nottingham a few weeks ago, they had like 40 shots and 17 were on target, the goal posts and Henderson were having a day.

The Palace Fan 3,402 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 If we had not rolled over and let Forest tickle our belly last weekend we would be seventh and I'd have a completely different outlook on our season than I do now.

Dr. Gonzo 8,182 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 The fact I feel like our start to the season was absolutely abysmal and we're still somehow in 6th place is pretty amusing tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 3,825 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 5/10. Chuffed to beat Chelsea and Liverpool but equally we failed to beat Fulham, a sub par Everton, a drab Villa at home as well as losing to a poor Leicester and chucking a 2 goal lead away at an inept Southampton. Even Spurs last week should have been walking away with at least a draw, arguably at Palace too. We should definitely be higher in the table and have at least 5 more points that would put us smack bang midtable but we waste too many chances and concede too easily. It's not often we shithouse/rob games we shouldn't win. We're actually one point less over the same amount of games than last season so there's plenty of work for us to do and the competition in the final third of the league looks far tighter than last year so its gonna be a long season at this rate.

Subscriber Dan+ 1,916 Posted November 18, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted November 18, 2022 Worst start I've ever seen from us followed by probably the best run we've had in about two years. Still below where this squad is truly capable of but given it's come in the order it has done I don't think people have any major concerns now. Stars are aligning for a good Carabao Cup run too - I'll be disappointed if we don't get to the semi finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeKhrush 296 Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 i will say that this season has surpassed all my expectations, pretty hard to really think how things could be better. the only disappointments were back to back draws against Palace and Bournemouth where we dominated everything but the scoreline but that's how it goes.
