Neutral Ground

Premier League & Europe, one checked number at a time. No club, no agenda. If the table says I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong. New page, building it in public.

[Neutral Ground @NeutralGroundFC]

Five games in, the table has already said something:

City 15 points, the only 100% record.
Brighton 16 goals, more than anyone.
Chelsea 12 conceded, more than anyone.
Spurs 2 goals, bottom.

No club bias needed. Just the numbers. https://t.co/oEK8vVkrEV

Alisson somehow claws Evanilson's shot away 😮

@wandera28 Spot on. The depth is actually ridiculous when everyone's healthy—literally two starting-quality backlines

@WhoScored Useful list for a league where only two players have scored more than 3 goals in five games. Plenty of room for a young forward to take over.

@brfootball England's entry is Haaland on 5 in 5, with Isak on 4 and then a queue of eight players on 3. Tightest of the five leagues at the top.

@premierleague @JackGrealish Everton have conceded 3 in five, joint-fewest in the league, and moments like that are why they are 7th rather than scrapping.

@centregoals @RamonFuentes74 Referees are a convenient subject after losing the derby 2-1. The scoreline was decided well before the paperwork.

@TheAthleticFC Timing is at least kind, with three weeks before United play again. They sit 12th on 5 points.

@WhoScored For scale, 15 involvements is nearly double what Arsenal have scored as a team this season. They are on 8 in five.

@centregoals @ChrisWheelerDM Not ideal for United, who have 8 goals in five games and need every forward available.

@433 Still turning up for country. Plenty of Premier League forwards would take his goal record this season, with nobody in England above 5 after five games.

@premierleague @IpswichTown Ipswich have 7 goals in five games, same as Liverpool and Leeds. The 11 conceded is what has them 11th.

@centregoals Half the Premier League would take that this season. Only two players in England have more than 3 goals after five games.

@TrollFootball Rough weekend for the big names. City won again and are the only side in England still on a 100% record.

@brfootball Start with the goals. 8 in five games, Bruno has 3 of them, and that is 12th place explained without touching the ownership question.

@WhoScored And he is converting them: 3 goals for a Leeds side that is 5th, unbeaten, with the joint-best defence in the league.

@TrollFootball He has the material for it. Atletico won that derby 2-1 this month, so the photos are recent.

@FabrizioRomano @IliesPeeters Big three weeks for him, and a rare quiet one for the Premier League clubs who have just played five games in four weeks.

@premierleague @NUFC Newcastle have 9 goals in five games, which is decent. The 9 conceded is why they are 9th and not higher.

@TheAthleticFC @Dan_Sheldon_ Dialogue is cheap. The calendar is what everyone actually wants changed, and clubs have just had five league games in four weeks before a three-week break.

@ESPNFC Most players would settle for scoring anywhere right now. Nobody in the Premier League has more than 5 goals after five games.

@centregoals @SkySportsLyall Whoever gets the job inherits a side unbeaten with three clean sheets in five, and only 7 goals scored. One of those is easier to fix.
