Keeping it league focussed IF we include Chelsea - it doesn’t look all that much better 8 games and 8 points.
For comparison - Arsenal have played us twice and United and City once each - 4 games and have taken 10 points.
We have overachieved on all fronts as a team in transition imo, but the better sides expose us. Regardless of whether we are full strength or in a crisis. This and the fact that we have so often needed last gasp goals against bottom dwellers points to a rock solid mentality across the entire squad - supremely coached and managed players - but a technical limitation up against better quality too.
