Straightforward? There's four really good sides in the league, and Spurs are keeping pace with them. Yes Newcastle aren't as good as last year and Chelsea and United are continuing to be shite, but Liverpool, Villa and Spurs are a lot better and we're a weaker team even without the injuries...
Kind of laughable that goal being disallowed, but that is where VAR is just trying to find a reason to disallow every goal. After the foul on the keeper six different Sheffield players touched the ball before a Villa player got it and it was finally crossed to Bailey
