wow we are the least fouled team in the league, joint top with Brighton
I can understand we are the least fouled team as opponents hardly are able to touch us. We are simply to fast and our tactical nouse for position play is far above any PL-team.
However us committing so many fouls while having so much possession is weird. Than again we often try to regain the ball as fast as we can and that’s probably where we make most fouls with opponent players fast falling over when they get in to trouble.
And yes, lots of fouls on our players are being overlooked, especially when the opponent can still get a result.

The one where Robertson rugby tackled sterling in the box in the home game this year comes to mindBut a lot softer than most of the ones we've been denied this season!! Sterling has missed out on half a dozen at least! And Bernardo, applying the same criteria that were always devoted to the Rags, and now the Dippers, would have had one on Saturday.

Some fouls on our players are also not given because the ref plays advantage (often, rightly).
The harassing of players to regain the ball accounts for a fair number, but I would like to see a split of fouls between attack and defence - if e.g. Aguero gives away 10 fouls for pushes when chasing a throughball, it's hardly the same as if he gives the same number away trying to get the ball back.

Don’t think stats will go that far.
Anyway we all agree on that the standard of refereeing in the PL is beyond poor.

No, they don't, although whoscored probably has attacking/defending fouls.

Think the need is to think outside the box fouls/non-fouls are consistently treated differently in our games compared to any game we're not involved in.I can understand we are the least fouled team as opponents hardly are able to touch us.

I think he didn't get that one 'cos his leg was still attached to his torso!

How can he expect to get a pen when he didn’t arch his back or throw his arms in the air, no style whatsoever. Needs to improve his falling style and technique.
