Indeed it could and probably will.
That's why it's important to celebrate DL getting their noses rubbed in it. :lol:

Today puts our performances into perspective.

We lost 3-0 to Spurs and score wasn't a true reflection. They beat City away 2-0 today.

Sunderland beat W Ham 3-0 and lost 2-0 to us today.

I think we'll comfortably avoid relegation and once our squad is fully fit we'll have far more options to change things from the bench.

Why did Arsenal not let Dowman take the penalty he won.. would have been the youngest Prem goal scorer.

Wolves played better this week, so we need 2 points or more out of them this season.

If my memory serves me correctly, as diabolical as Manchester United were last season, they didn’t lose a game against any of the 3 recently promoted clubs.
As you say this is a much improved United from last campaign. A front 3 of Mbuemo, Cunha and Sesko will surely test our defensive capabilities.

They are also working way harder and moving around the pitch quicker - you can see they will get caught at the other end though

This foul happens all the time with nothing being given, if a United player does this to a Claret next week no way will we get a pen.

Not sure which penalty was worse. That one or Wellbeck's in the earlier game.

I suppose VAR will be giving a good few penalties a game now we've set the barometer for what constitutes a penalty.

I have to be honest, I thought they'd find a way for us to be the first club to be penalised for holding at corners. Unlucky, Fulham.

Not sure how different it was to the Arsenal player who had Mount's shirt over his head last week, to score against United. Big clubs getting the decisions, I suppose... :lol:

In fairness I can see Fernandes missing the pen because of the ref. No one else would, but Fernandes has that personality to focus more on the ref bumping into him, rather than putting the ball in the back of the net.

I'll never forget him asking to be taken off when United were getting tonked by Liverpool. Never seen another player do that.

You have to laugh at the irony. Var and ref make mistakes by giving the pen and yet all the focus is on the refs next mistake of accidentally touching Fernandes.
