City, Liverpool also not great.
Only team playing really well is Spurs. Chelsea are doing as you'd expect them to do.
The rest of the Out-lying teams: Everton, West Ham, Stoke etc turrible
City isn't worse than they were last season.
Liverpool is better than they were last season.
Spurs are better than last season.
Chelsea are significantly better than last season.
Man United are better than last season.
Everton are WAY better than last season.
I mean, you opened up this dialogue by insinuating that the top 6 are worse this season than last. While being incorrect in just about every measure (including the beloved eye test), you double down with continued analysis of other clubs. (Seriously, who would say that Everton have been turrible this year? Especially when compared to last year!)
