I agree Keane knows a lot about football. we concede a lot , and score a lot...relative to all the teams in the bottom half of the table. because we regularly win a game by a single goal, we are forgiven the incidental thumpings we take from time to time....spurs tonight or Liverpool. The overall points tally is more important than goal-difference.

The only stat that matters. Despite all the other stats of goals scored (at home/away), conceded (home/away), pass completion, away losses, home losses, shots on target, penalties for/against, VAR decisions, fouls committed......

Wasn’t it Roy himself who said goal difference was important because in a tight league it was worth an extra point.

Many would argue that the most important thing first and foremost is league points. They are the ultimate criteria by which teams win the league or get relegated. Goal difference, while being important, only comes into play at the very end in the event teams finish level on points, and how many times does that actually happen to determine the Champions or relegation?

Back in season 2007-08 both Fulham and Reading ended the season on 36 pts but Fulham had the better goal difference, -22, to Reading's -25, Fulham survived and Reading were relegated.

Only now after four years with little work done on improving the squad , with the the abilities of individuals declining , have we started to get heavily turned over score wise,on a more or less regular basis,.
