Yes the goals against column is woeful, but 10 of the teams in the premiership have conceded 50 or more goals so far this season.

Is it just defending generally is worse of forwards are more clinical?

I think a bit of both really even teams like Brighton who defend first are culpable in certain games.

Last year 13 teams conceded  50 or more goals. 2017 it was 12 teams.2016 it was 13 .
In 2014, Liverpool done it and came 2nd.

To be honest I'm surprised we haven't conceded more goals. The big teams, well in our games at least go one or 2 goals up and just switch into contain mode, operating at 60% like it's a friendly match. If the big teams wanted to they could all have put 5 or 6 goals against us bar the spurs and Chelsea matches

No one plays for a draw anyone, record low number of draws.

Which is interesting considering everyone starts off their match drawing 0 0.
