Same points as we had in Emery’s first season after the same games.
I don’t remember us being that good before but checked the fixtures and after the opening two games we had a really easy run…
Interestingly xG-performance-wise, Emery’s 1st season ie 18/19 is comparable to Ten Hag’s current season.

Did we have to play against City, Chelsea and Spurs? I doubt so
Well, yes. At least at that point we had played Chelsea away and City at home. We lost both, and beat Spurs a few weeks later in Nov.
It wasn’t a comparison or negating what we’re doing now, just interesting
Pretty sure we did? We played City and Chelsea in our first 2 matches (both losses) and won 4-2 against Spurs early on that season.
That said - we weren’t playing that well tbh. Just the odd 1 or 2 good matches but our form looked unsustainable
