[quote="Hutch's Shoulder"]There's a feature in FourFourTwo that shows that based on 'expected points', City would actually be leading the table, 5 points ahead of dippers (City 57 points, dippers 52). 'Expected points' and 'expected goals' have some question marks over how realistic they are, but the article puts the differences between the expectation and reality down to their ruthless finishing in some tight matches (no mention of VAR) and our poor finishing and inability to close out games we dominate (which I take to be poor defending and sometimes reluctance to actually shoot).
It's not a watertight methodology, but does reflect what a lot of us have seen:

The table after we beat Brighton to secure the Title, has 3rd place Chelsea 27 point behind us, Chelsea are 4th currently 32 points behind the scousers, this season the scousers have maintained the pace everyone else has fell apart. What the final points gap will be is down to them, for the record the SCUM are 38 points off. Whatever your club it’s worrying and a gap that will take some closing.
