In short, its just a clever way of manipulating the narrative after the game. Ten Hag knows full well that during this game 2-3 blatant decisions went in favour of his team, but Man United have the most fans in world football, so as look as the social media narrative is churning out the fallacy that United got screwed, we spend less time asking questions like why the hell was Lindelof not sent off for booting Eddie Nketiah full in the face, or for what god damn reason was Arsenal's penalty revoked when it was the clearest contact you will ever seen?
Man United have been the receipt of 2 quite unbelievable VAR calls in recent weeks (Onana taking out the Wolves lad on the first match was the clearest penalty you will ever see).... if we lingered on that, the tough conversation about why certain teams ALWAYS get unexplainable decisions go their way would probably force changes. Instead, we get millions of Man United fans that outnumber the rest probably put together, claiming they were robbed, and the narrative changes from biased decisions their way to the idea everyteam is a victim of bad decisions.
One only has to look at the MacAllister red card being overturned after the social media uproar to see it works..... he went studs up off the ground into someones ankle, and the FA changed his red card.
If that's a Brighton lad, he gets told on Monday that his extra 2 game ban for violent conduct is already in the post. Its such nonsense.
And 2nd City goal this week
I mean my god, the guy is 2 yards offside and masking the keepers view of the play... how the hell was that ruled a goal?
