I think probably they got there first... And the kind of opponents they've faced compared to ours.

I don't think cards accumulation is part of it. At least, they've a player with red card unlike ours

Somebody must get there first, we all can't play same time. Even if it's same time, a match will finish earlier than the other. Can't be determined by quality of opponent too, we didn't set the fixtures ourself.

Discipline is a factor the team can control just like points gathered and goals scored. Discipline would definitely be up there.

LoRdCaT:
So Man city is currently top on the table but we are on equal points and have scored the same number of goals and conceded the same number of goals. Why are they top and if the league were to end this way, how will the winner be determined?

And anyone who has an answer

as at now manutd is joint first with mancity so two premier league would be awarded. I say this because when berbetov and tevex and the same premier league goals both collected golden boots I stand to be corrected though

Man city are topping the group with alphabetical advantage. The "C" comes before the "U".. If the league ends this way, A play-off will determine the winner imho..

Guy, with their last performance and today's that DDG was just saving us, I'm concerned especially as we yet to play against top attackers.

The goalkeeper is part of the defence in my opinion.

MRTA7:


You said it yourself. They are ok. Ok isnt good enough at the highest level. We have a world class keeper and to be honest he's been making the defenders look good with some of his saves.

The keeper is part of the defence.
Four goals scored,none cpnceeded,three points on the log. I wonder what people want this team to do again.
In a 90 minute football match the opposition are likely to get one or two chances and when Everton got their chances De Gea who is part of the defence did his job which is to stop the ball crossing the line.
This Manchester United defence is good.

Discipline isn't a factor. Man City has two red cards already-Kyle Walker and Raheem Sterling. I couldn't remember the yellows but Man United has no red yet just few yellow cards.

Just as someone pointed out, it's the alphabetical order.

yes number of cards, goals conceded or better still they have a play off

That's not true man. There would be a play off and whoever wins would carry the league. Man City is currently on top based on alphabetical order.

Discipline doesn't come in place until points and goals are ticked.
Man city remains top because they got there first and league isn't over. The question was "if league should end today". Then other factors come to play.
Play-off on a neutral ground might also be considered.

If two or more teams end up with same points in points table, then team having moreGoal Differencei.e.,Goals Scored minus Goals Against, wins the title.ifGoal Differencesare also same for those teams, then team having moreGoals Scoredwould win the title.And ifGoals Scoredare also same for those teams, then all those teams on top having same points, same goal differences and goals scored would compete in a playoff match at a neutral ground.Reference:English Premier League Wikipedia

You posted about defenders not defence. DDG is not a defender, he's a goalkeeper. The defence as a whole is good but not great. The defenders themselves are ok at the highest level.

There is nothing wrong with realistic and constructive criticism of the team.

Man city are first because of their alphabet, not because they got therr first. Where did we get this "getting there first" rule? That is bullshit and never used. If the league ends this way, a play off will come in. In la Liga they use head to head.

It will take time for them to gel together. But once they click they will be unstoppable.
