Pulse Check: PL Early Surprises & Flops

The Blue Frontier crew take the opportunity at at the international break to do a league-wide pulse check after 7 matches played: revisiting their preseason predictions and dissecting how every club's story is unfolding so far. Everything is on the table here (no pun intended): Fulham's "they are who we thought they were" midtable solidity, Burnley's relegation-zone scrappiness, and the heavyweights battling at the top of the league. James, Ryan, and Shan trace which sides are over and under-performing their xG, who's riding luck, and who's quietly legit. Arsenal's control, City's fragility, and Liverpool's regression all get the microscope treatment, as well as surprise packages like Bournemouth and Spurs under Thomas Frank. Data, balanced debate, and the usual dry humor on clubs that "cracked the code" only to immediately forget it. Whether you're an Evertonian keeping tabs on the wider Premier League or a neutral who likes tactics and data, this episode delivers analysis that turns table-watching into insight.   LINKS: https://linktr.ee/thebluefrontier
