So...the pen vs City...2 points gone

the pen vs Wolves...another 2 points

The made up added time/disallowed goal vs Liverpool-1 point (3 if you think they wouldn't have recovered from going 2 down)

The ludicrous disallowed goal vs Palace...2 points

So, those missing points would have had us on 14 points. equal 2nd with Man City

Now this isn't a thread complaining about those points that we've been robbed of-much as we'd be entitled to complain.

The point is that Howe is doing an absolutely fantastic job, especially when you consider we've had to use Jacob Murphy, Matt Richie, Almiron, Fraser and Chris Wood in those games. Anybody could argue that their team should have more points if they'd finished better or had that bit of luck, etc, but that's just football. But these are points that we actually did earn but, because of atrocious refereeing, were denied. (In fairness, we may have missed the pens against Wolves and Man City but we should have at least been given the chance to miss them )

We have some manager, like.
