Not convinced that was a pen.

It is a contact sport after all.

Massive statement to dock that many points. Wonder if they will stay up anyway, I think they are far better than those around them so should get themselves out of trouble.

Probably discussing the last staff party they both attended.

He made a shocker in the championship, they were expecting him to be relegated to league 1! But city must have made noises they wanted him back for the big match.

Shouldn’t be allowed near City.

Great game, Anthony Taylor, who is a city fan, really shouldn’t be allowed to ref City. Another soft penalty.

Oliver, on the City owners payroll, shouldn’t be allowed near them either. Integrity of officials needs to be higher up the priority list.

Mount wasn’t a player I would have gone for and certainly not for that sort of money but I can see why Ten Hag went for him. He wants energy in midfield and he wants players to press high. Eriksen is not mobile and can’t press.

Amrabat and Mount are full of energy. Mount started the season and picked up an injury. He is off form though, so Eriksen is back in.

Not the player I would have signed, but I can see why Ten Hag would.

Cannot believe we are above Newcastle. Need to score more goals and build on the results, but I have said that many, many times before.

Need players back and Hojlund, despite zero PL goals, will be a big miss if he is out for long.

Ok, so I am ruling out the 3-4 and the 5-0!

Start of a Spurs implosion? Or just one of those things which football is great for?

I tend to agree PPT, but the question is when will VAR be singing from the same page? I think VAR operators aren’t looking to do that. They don’t even do it within the same game, let alone same weekend or week to week.

Most times a string of ex-refs will line up to say how everything is subjective, and therefore all the decisions are correct, but the same incident week to week ends up being officiated differently. If VAR can ensure the same incidents have the same outcome I am all for it. But it won’t as that would be ‘re-reffing the match’ and the officials won’t allow that.

I’m happy either way.

Let VAR re ref games (which it doesn’t do at the moment, they just look for certain things), but if the want to re ref games they need to be consistent.

Or do the clear howlers, the clear handballs which are missed etc. not tackles, not marginal offsides, not pushes in the back etc.

Or just do goal line tech and offsides.

The main thing that players, managers and fans want is consistency and it’s ridiculous that we can’t have that. So if we can’t have what we want then reduce the footprint of VAR as it is ruining the game in more ways than one (I am sure refs aren’t making decisions in the knowledge that VAR is a safety net).

Have you seen us recently Nil?

We could lose 4-3 or win 5-0, and anything in between!

Out of interest, what are Sancho’s old ways?

Ten Hag said he had a poor training session or whatever it was and Sancho said no he didn’t.

Is Ten Hag expecting an apology for poor training or for having a difference of opinion? What are the old ways?

The last handball was the most obvious, as the ball travelled a fair distance, his arm was away from his body and the arm touched the ball. Ref didn’t give it and VAR cleared it.

Sorry, but they aren’t consistent. Two out of three were given but the one where he had ages to get his arm out of the way wasn’t.

Awful defending. Just clear the ball.

After the Eriksen pen against Bayern I thought Europe had a touch the ball with an arm and it’s a pen rule, so how was that not given at the end?

Threeps, this sort of proves CM’s point. Huge decision against Wolves which is widely talked about (and seemingly justification for the numerous ridiculous and inconsistent decisions that have gone against Utd since), but no one talks about the handball on the line by Wolves which should have been a red card and a pen. Wolves can only complain about one if they acknowledge the other. Sky etc don’t even mention the handball. Half of the problem is that people focus on the one decision that goes in Utd’s favour. Football needs to grow up and stop being so tribal.

Arsenal weren’t asking for refs to improve after the decisions that went in their favour against Utd. To say they want to help train the refs so they can improve now a decision has gone against them is a joke.

Football needs to unite rather than go back to tribal rivalries.

Nearly a massive win for Luton too.

Happy for Diaz, terrible time for him lately.

Sean – spot on with Anthony. I thought there was a player in there somewhere. I thought he would practice to cross with his weak right foot all summer but he didn’t.

Needs to be dropped and Højlund needs service. Mount can deliver a ball and would also make us a bit more compact out of possession. I would play him there. We play a man down otherwise.
