All totally normal. Is it within the ’margin of error’ ? Who knows.
And, of course, this doesn’t include things that are not called that we see every week; 2 footed lunges ignored, the grappling & running through the backs of Mane & Salah when they receive the ball. The soft fouls given against us, the inconsistencies like Barnes getting a penalty that Mane doesn’t didn’t. Like SoS I’ve given up watching the league games & can’t even bear the highlights. They’ve ruined the game.
