That could be a bit of a short sighted view if there are underlying issues that the basics stats don't reveal. We've previously had teams that looked good in terms of goals for ana against but the underlying numbers were concerning and in the long run that truth did come to pass.

I'm not saying that's the case this time but just that we do need to be aware that sometimes a pretty or pleasant facade can hide ugly truths.

If we keep winning it's not much of an issue, is it?

Nope, but that's the concern. The stats suggest that we might not keeping winning if those underlying stats bare out. It's happened before primarily under Mourinho, we had some pretty good results initially but the underlying figures were concerning and many ppl at the time had a flippant "if we are winning what's the problem?" attitude and then the those stats did play out and we saw the results begin to nosedive.

Again to be clear I'm not suggesting it's all a house of cards. I've been quite happy with how we've done so far, but seeing those stats in a collated form does leave me with some concerns. It's not often that a team can out perform the underlying stats over the long term.
