The fact is that Manchester clubs have 22 penalties combined in the PL this season, we have 5. There are 3 refs from Manchester and they get to do Manchester games, which is so odd. It’s now 6 seasons since Liverpool had a decent season for penalties received; always falling way below the league position, so that 1st in the league this season somehow equals 6th in the penalty rankings, despite the best front three in the world, two of whom are as quick as hell, and the other has skill to burn. Whenever any of them got a penalty or two there’d be a national outcry, and then they’d no longer get penalties.
Then when we did get a legitimate penalty ourselves, for an elbow into Mané’s back, they ruled it outside the area, which was bogus when it was on the line, and on the line means inside the box. VAR just went along with whatever Anthony Taylor gave for 40 yards away. The xG of .76 from having a penalty would have evened up the xG a reasonable amount.

Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter. It gets even worse if they win the UCL. *groan*.
