Talk about cherry picked data 😂
At least pull it Monday night when the Matchday is over
if you are so concerned though, here is the updated version
I’m pretty neutral on the PL, I like the competition and enjoy good football so I’m not trying to be anti Man U here.
I was merely pointing out that looking at a stat like this feels like trying to prop up an overall mediocre start to the season on an oddly specific stat.
Last 5 games is a pretty standard way to measure form of a football side. Don’t get me wrong, this table is flattering for united’s performances and that’s kind of the point. Despite our horrendous start and awful couple weeks, we’ve still won 4 out of 5 in PL and bettered every other team in that time period.
it was last 5 games at the moment of posting, there is no cherry pick, all teams have 5 games on the board.
Only Brentford could equal uniteds form after this match day is finished anyway so it’s not exactly misleading, and that’d require them beating Liverpool today so I think United fans would be OK with that.
It’s no more cherry picked than most football stats, they’re all chosen to illustrate the point trying to be made, and this is much less cherried than plenty of stats that are used in football analysis, it’s simply the 5 most recent games…
Match day ends today btw, no PL games tomorrow.
Everton have stepped it up. Nice.
Finally performing to the numbers and getting some swings of luck unlike the first handful of games. Midfield, defense and wings finally seem sorted.
ManUtd fans have to find a way to be happy.
NB: I am also a ManUtd fan
