Better than the Invincibles?

Unbeaten, top of the log, unplayable and seemingly unstoppable Manchester City made short work of Spurs with a 4-1 win at home to extend their lead at the top the Premier League standings. Even more significant was the fact City, in the process, earned a 16^th consecutive league and having already being compared to the Arsenal’s Invincibles when might argue City may be better.

Arsenal won 26 matches in the entirety of their record setting season and in comparison City have already won 17 of their 18 matches so far. At this point in the season have City have amassed 52 points, eight points more than the legendary Gunners side registered by the turn of the year.

Arsenal scored 73 goals on their way to the title, while in comparison City already have 55 and are projected to go well past the Invincibles’ tally with the them averaging 3.1 goals this season.

Thierry Henry contributed 30 of the goals during Arsenal’s title winning run with 14 other players chipping in towards the total tally. City’s tally is a lot more spread out with twelve players contributing to the total, and with still a few others yet to score.

What could be more telling is the way and the margins by which City have won their matches as they have dominated the opposition even against the league’s topsides whether be at the Etihad or away from home.

But it may be too early to bestow City the title of Invincibles 2.0 as its only halfway through the season and time will tell if that proves to be true.
