What do you actually expect though?

The teams we have played are teams we were massive underdogs for, even the poor Arsenal side (away). We were awful at Man City, decent for a little bit against Liverpool, should have got a point v Leicester and were decent for a big chunk against Arsenal, who scored a jammy goal. Fine margins, nobody is celebrating, but surely the season starts properly this weekend.

Sheffield United came 9th their first good season up, and from these fixtures they got 1 point (at Arsenal).
