Utd have been absolutely woeful and should've been down to about 8 men, so it's 1-0 to them. Obviously.
Not sure about being down to 8 men - you seem to want every foul to result in a booking, but you’re spot on that Utd have been woeful. Who is coaching these players? Individually they are talented, but collectively it’s as though they’ve never met. What do they work on in training?
There were loads of poor tackles that weren't even given as free-kicks. Mount's ankle stamp and Casemiro's.... everything, for example. Virtually every Man Utd player has been poor, though. Maybe not the keeper. Wan-Bissaka is probably the only outfield player that hasn't, though he should be off. The midfield and attackers have all been ****e and have gone backwards. Onana just punches a Wolves player in the face! Has to be a penalty.
Hooper gets told to look at it and books O'Neil, instead! Just open, obvious corruption. Bent. As. ****.
Son concedes a penalty when his left foot touches an opposition player. Onana takes out a Wolves player nowhere near the ball- no penalty! Convince me the game is not corrupt
Apparently Onana taking out two Wolves strikers wasn't clear and obvious, at the other end if that is Sa on Rashford its given. United so lucky to win that, you can guarantee that they play better than that on Saturday.
It was a clear penalty kick, Penited trousering 2 extra undeserved points courtesy of the officials and its only game one. And some mugs on here think there is no red shirt bias.
From the BBC: "The Premier League has just told us that it was checked and cleared by VAR." "It was not deemed a clear and obvious error so they stuck with the on-field decision." So the Son penalty v Brentford was, but that wasn't? Pull the other one.
It was a penalty. Onana didn’t get the ball and collided with the player. That was clear from the TV footage. But Son’s tackle was a penalty too for the same reason. Less obvious, but the same outcome when you look at the images in slo-mo. The authorities needs to be clearer in how they expect the rules to be interpreted. Many of these decisions are fractionally late tackles in a contact sport. Yet players can happily wrestle with each other at corners. If every physical challenge resulting in a marginal foul is called as a penalty (if in the penalty area), then there there should be 4 or 5 at least every game. Nobody wants that; but then again, nobody wants clear fouls going unpunished, but very marginal ones being given as penalties. That’s what we have now. It’s the arbitrary and inconsistent nature of it which causes the frustration.
Except the player who headed it wide. So who fouled who if two players are running at the ball from opposite directions both arrive too late and collide?
