Current ppg has us finishing with 63-64 points. The Emery season saw us notch 70 points. Arteta's first half-season got us 8th with 56 points. Last season, we amassed 61 points.
63-64 points *might* be good enough for top-6. Unsure as of now. West Ham finished 6th with 65 points last season.
I'm not worried about form. What worries me is the underlying stats:
7 goals from open play after over a quarter of a season is abysmal. We have to improve significantly in coming weeks.
