    I think United played a get out of jail card there

    They were nowhere in that game, second best with everything bar possession stats

    Does help having a player like Fernandes who can bail you out from time to time

    Ashley Young relentlessly harassing ref. 65K fine incoming?

    Weird watching Young, one of the worst cheats in the history of the game. Thought he was long dead but now pops up to show he's as good as ever at diving in the box. Form is temporary, classlessness is permanent.

    Fernandes did one thing right in the whole game, otherwise he was a fuck-up for the full 90. But it changed when Utd got the xtra man when Casemiro was subbed off.

    Utd aren't going to be back as a major force for a very long time, I think. They pretty much have to replace that whole team.

    In computer games engines today there are some seriously good physics models and real time motion capture. That's in relatively cheap computer games. It would be possible to model that pen shout and figure out what should have happened when there was a tug on Young's shirt. If a NPC went down like that after being lightly tugged you'd day, shit physics model, game is bugged. But in football nobody really goes into depth about how ludicrous some of the cheating attempts are. Players like Young, Diaz and Gakpo should be hated and shunned by all fans for their antics, but it gets glossed over and they just keep doing it. I'm not saying the game should be stopped so incidents can be modelled and sold as DLCs to make EA even more money. But the pundits could analyse it after the game and shame the cheats.

    Today Young's cheating probably cost his team a win, so that's a favourable outcome but it's accidental. Then pen was actually ruled out because refs aren't giving light shirt pulls in the box. But why not? They'd give it against us, so why not everyone? If you grab an opponents shirt, even for a second, it's a foul isn't it? You can't accidentally grab a shirt, you have to do it consciously.So it should be a foul.

    Even so, I'd like to see a Cheat of the Day award on Sky after all the games have wrapped up each week. And there should be a Cheat of the Year trophy at the end of the season, to rub it in.
