Quite simply, rank the current top 6 in terms of their (how to multiboard?):
Defence
Midfield
Attack
Not so much based on individual personnel, but more so collectively and ideally based on recent form.
Defence - Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal, United, Liverpool, City
Probably the easiest category to rank for me although it was a toss up between Liverpool and City for the last spot.
Midfield - City, Tottenham, United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool
Difficult to judge this one but I guess I based it on how balanced the midfield is and how well they control games. I feel Chelsea's system pretty much sacrifices midfield control for quick transitions into attack.
Attack - Liverpool, Chelsea, City, Tottenham, Arsenal, United
I based it of how unlikely I feel the team is to fire a blank in a match.

well considering theyve conceded more than chelsea, i'd say it was arguable

true. but alderweireld has been injured for quite a few games and now vertonghen is injured. yet Tottenham withstand a respectable defensive record. Chelsea have Matic and Kante to thank for their defensive record imo

But it's a defence that has been as consistently good over a year. And we've played harder fixtures than Chelsea, and have had more disruption to our back line with Aldy injured for a period.

Defence - Chelsea / Tottenham / Manchester United / Arsenal / Liverpool / Manchester City
David Luiz has been the start defender for me this season and with 5 at the back they are very stable. City are the worst, not 1 CB that can defend apart from permacrock Kompany. Add to that Pep's mad attempts with inverted wing backs, changing of formations and muddled tactics the City defence is at risk of self induced disaster at any moment.

Manchester City / Manchester United / Tottenham Hotspur / Chelsea / Arsenal / Liverpool

Manchester United have scored 33 goals, 17 less than Arsenal, yet this "Rangers fan" ranks the attacks like that

Arsenal are deadly in front of goal. If we were as clinical as Arsenal we would be on like 60 goals but instead Ibrahimovic has been extremely poor this season when we dropped lots of points.

Well he's ranked United higher in every department, so would make sense how they're 4 places lower in the league

I get a feeling this little "Rangers" chappie is in fact a very bitter Man Utd fan.

Right.
Defence - Who cares
Midfield - Meh
Attack - Whatever
Until football becomes a game of 3 individual and mutually exclusive thirds, then these sorts of articles just will continue to serve as examples of mind numbingingly irrelevant dredgery.
