Funny you say United because they also took points from Wolves by your definition and debatebly Liverpool took points from Everton.
Part of the reason make fun of the Klopp “replay” comment even though he wasn’t really serious about that was because a replay is unrealistic because every team gets bad and good decisions, but bad decisions against big 6 clubs are more talked about compared to those against the other 14 so it’d be biased against the other 14.
KDB though simply has the pure technical skill to break down some of the toughest defenses. Like against Arsenal, if they had a player who could feed Haaland the type of balls that KDB feeds, it could’ve been a different story.
As well, while their depth has been exposed this season, Liverpool and Arsenal still suffer from worse. Liverpool’s defense is still thin and a lack of a true number 6 hurts a lot because Klopp doesnt want to play Endo for some reason.
Arsenal also has serious depth issues in attack because someone like Nketiah is simply not good enough for a title winning team though Arteta has made some smart changes by play slower and more tactical, albiet more boring, football.
Looking rough. It’s not helping that a lot of the teams that were predicting to have tougher seasons have been doing really well. Wolves, Forest, and Everton have all exceeded expectations. Likely to go down, but Burnley and Bournemouth are big question marks as to whether they can turn things around. Especially Burnley as they seem to have full trust in Kompany despite the poor results.
Probably the system. Harry Kane usually has really good work rate, but he’s also been relegated to terrorist ball for the past 3 something years since poch got sacked.
This season atleast. Last season I think it was Brighton? Wolves have had terrible ref calls against them 3~ times already. Media just doesn’t cover it frequently because it’s not a large team like Arsenal or Liverpool.
Also, Gary O’Neil hasn’t been as out spoken as Arteta or Klopp, but it’s very evident that Wolves have been on the receiving end more than any other team. It’s a shame that managers who were so outspoken previously aren’t backing Wolves.
