I know we got more than our fair share of decisions during the SAF era but it is now getting beyond a joke how few big decisions go our way. Most other teams would have got them.

I remember a couple of years ago Klopp was on about decisions going against Liverpool all the time then suddenly they started to get the decisions. Arsenal all last year and their fans were going on about decisions always going against them even though I read a report where apart they were the least hard done by with refs decisions last season according to research.

I think the problem is, we haven't had a manager since Mourinho who is prepared to openly call out bad/ harsh decisions and risk a fine or whatever. Even if you are not right and people think you are just whinging all the time, it's a psychological part of the game that just plants seeds of doubt in the refs mind. I would have loved it had Amorim had come out and called the challenge on Byandir a foul and question why it wasn't given or looked at in depth. And called out the penalty shout on Cunha. I've seen angles and close ups of both and I'm inclined to think Cunha's was worth a shout. The Byandir one for me is tricky, personally, I don't think it's a foul and he needs to be stronger, HOWEVER, the way the game is reffed now and the rules, I can't believe it's not given, Saliba's arm is across Byandir's right punching arm. Any contact on GK's is genuinely given nowadays, not that I agree with that but that's the game now. I see Eze's goal get disallowed because Guhei was a meter from the wall when the ball was struck so there, IMO is a lack of consistency from refs that is frustrating.

That's exactly my point Ports. I think if that was Arsenal on the end of these challenges, they would have been given and that shouldn't be.
Also a side comment to the referee with a bit of sarcasm would just hold them to greater account for decisions like that. I'm not a moaner by any means but i just think we should get a fair shot of decisions going our way. and if those decisions had been given, the pundits and every commentators' comments would have completely different with many agreeing with the referee's or VAR's decision in United's favour rather than just smirking that we didn't get them. I think they are 50/ 50 but one or two decisions this early changes things, makes teams more weary f us and and confidence.
