They may well still win this but that's an awful half of football from ManU again.

Man U just look like a collection of really good players managing to put something together on the pitch, rather than having any kind of coaching or decent game plan. Them doing well seems to be in spite of OGS, rather than because of him.

Does anyone have the stats on how many pens Man Utd have had vs the other teams in the last 18 months or so ?

Based purely on this season alone they have the tied 2nd most pens. 

Leicester - 10 (scored 8)
Man Utd - 8 (7)
Chelsea - 8 (6)
Man City - 7 (4)
Liverpool - 6 (6)
Brighton - 6 (5)
Fulham - 5 (2)
Arsenal/Newcastle/Wolves - 4 (4)
Sheffield Utd/Aston Villa - 4 (3)
Everton/Spurs - 3 (3)
West Brom/Leeds/Crystal Palace/Southampton - 2 (2)
West Ham/Burnley - 1 (1)

I thought Klopp had commented that they’d had about 3 times as many as the average of other clubs which was 13 ??

If people want Man Utd to have fewer penalties then they should simply stop fouling them in the box.
That's a fair enough comment but doesn't account for examples like the one where the Man Utd player kicked the Aston Villa player and Man Utd got the penalty, or where Martial dived and they still got the penalty, or the several instances where the initial award was very soft, but since VAR can't intervene in those cases, the decision stood. They certainly seem to have more in the "give it then check" variety than the "not give it then check" variety - which again would be fair enough of all clubs and all penalty decisions are treated this way, but we both know that isn't the case.

Wild that game was on TV.  Suppose contractually it needs to be.

It’s been great having so much football on TV during lockdown. I definitely think it leads to games being shown that you’d never in a million years watch, unless you’re a fan of either side

Aye I was thinking that.  To be fair to Sky and BT (and Amazon) they've had us covered over the past year.
