    Liverpool making their own luck, you don't see them complaining about dropping points because of the ref.

    Yeah, because they don’t drop points . What would they be complaining about?

    EDIT: And yeah, how strange that a team who would actually have fewer points had the refs got everything right (only by 2, admittedly) aren't complaining about refereeing decisions

    A team who would have 9 more points had refs done their jobs have more cause for complaint.

    They win games despite the decisions, that's what great teams do, teams that aren't winners blame the decisions for the the results.

    That is literally the opposite of what that table shows.
    Had the referees got decisions right then Liverpool would have fewer points than they do.
    Only 2, admittedly, but they haven’t been denied wins because of bad refereeing.
    We have (which doesn’t excuse how bloody awful we’ve been, but we do have more reason to feel aggrieved than most)

    Generally the good teams are lucky and the poorer teams are unlucky, the reason being is they make things happen, even if they have a bad decision they score enough goals for it to make little difference.

    When you say we've been denied wins, if we'd played and dominated and scored more goals we'd have won despite the decision, the problem is we're not very good and can only win by the odd goal, Liverpool often win by several goals thus not allowing bad luck to play a factor, yes there's the odd anomaly but that's generally the case.

    You make your own luck and because poorer teams struggle to get goals and results, errors are more costly.
