Tom WilliamsPANELIST
Have you got...
Tom WilliamsPANELIST
Are you gonna get TalkSPORT favorite Duncan Alexander on to do a rant?
James RichardsonHOST
Definitely.
Tom WilliamsPANELIST
Yeah.
Zoe MorganPANELIST
Although if we had won the last two games, four three ourselves maybe we'd be saying isn't it good um and but you've got to still be hopeful i guess like you say it's very early stages no one is completely dominating the league yet um there's a lot of teams with some way to go for some consistency so that's good um and i saw a tweet uh last weekend that sort of helped me sort of balance my views.
Zoe MorganPANELIST
So it was Duncan Alexander on, on Twitter.
Zoe MorganPANELIST
He was talking about how Chelsea are on track to concede 91 goals this season.
Zoe MorganPANELIST
which is presumably somewhere around what we're on track to do at the moment.
AlecHOST
reasonYeah, four wins and one loss, and that loss was to, to the top of the league as well.
AlecHOST
Um, so, uh, as much as there's been so much noise around PAOK, like, I don't know, is it Duncan Alexander who says, um, every week, uh, there's a, there's a crisis club in the Premier League.
AlecHOST
The aim every week is to not be that crisis club.
AlecHOST
And it's felt like PAOK has been that crisis club for the start of the season, and yet they're still second in the league.
CerysPANELIST
It's important to put the context around the data.
CerysPANELIST
We have a-- We're lucky to have a really great data team at The Athletic, and I, I messaged our, our kind of data and tactics whiz, Duncan Alexander, last night and said like, "Why I feel like whenever we ask you about running stats you're always like kind of take it with a bit of a pinch of salt." And it's just basically 'cause they lack context, right? So they only ever tend to get brought up in relation to a team's results when they correlate.
CerysPANELIST
But for instance, on the, um, looking at the average number of high speed runs per game, for instance, United are second from bottom, but Manchester City are bottom and Hull are third from bottom, right? So that's just an example-
Ian IrvingHOST
Well, City and United got the same data, basically.
James RichardsonHOST
That was me.
James RichardsonHOST
Who else was in? Duncan Alexander, Michael Cox, and Simon Cooper joined us from Paris.
James RichardsonHOST
That was nice.
James RichardsonHOST
Tomorrow, we'll be getting together to do a Totally Football Show European edition, checking in on the leagues before their international break, catching up on what happened between Roma and Inter and in the Madrid derby, what Barcelona have done now, Paris against PSG against Olympique Marseille and also Harry Kane.

And I think it's interesting that Spurs, who are sort of fulfilling the Duncan Alexander, um, criteria of every week in the Premier League there is a crisis club of the aim-
