It shouldn’t and actually i think with us and city, it probably won’t even out because of the way we play, we seem to get fouled a lot more often then other teams who play slower."Evening out" shouldn't come into it. Just give correct and sensible decisions in the first place. You are right though, refereeing in the PL is currently at an all time low.
The amount of times saka gets fouled without getting a free kicks let alone yellow card is bordering on ridiculous, the fact he then gets a card for the most minor foul in return makes me question the agenda.
