If I were to just type that United are playing badly some United lifelong supporter is going to barge in whose father was a United fan, whose grandfather was a United fan, whose great grandfather was a United fan and tell you that the stats show that Ten Hag has scored more points than SAF or Klopp or Mourinho or whoever. When I see such people and there are millions of them worldwide and especially in the UK I automatically wonder if you have to be low IQ to be a football fan. You don’t need stats to tell you that United are terrible. If you have eyes you can see that they are scrapping through and not heading in the right direction. On the other hand if you can understand football you could have figured out that Chelsea on the other hand for all their defeats are headed in the right direction. They might be down in the points table but there is a plan that is slowly working at Chelsea. If you just give it time they will be in the reckoning sooner or later. How is something as basic as this not evident to people.
Take a club like Wolves. After reading about their financial troubles and from the early results I was convinced that they are going down. I don’t even know who their manager is atm. I doubt they are even getting paid in full. Look at the fight they are putting up. They are definitely staying up. You don’t see any such fight in United. Same goes for Everton. Everyone has written them off and they are really giving it all. That’s what sports is all about. You don’t need stats to judge Wolves or Everton. Just watch them play.
