You diss Zohores goal at Southampton just because you think it makes your argument look better - it doesn't, it just makes it look even more petty. We deserved and should have had three points against Chelsea at home, apart from the incompetence of a linesman and a referee, who both admitted that they got it wrong. Losing that game in the way we did knocked the stuffing out of the players, leading to the results against Burnley, Fulham and Palace. Two points from safety with a game to go is a totally different ball game. Who knows what would have happened there then but what I do know is that Man Utd’s confidence was shot, OGS was out of his depth and their players weren't interested in playing for him. If we had still won we would have stayed up. You need a slice of luck to stay up in a first season in the Premier League - ours was taken away by two officials who didn't do their jobs properly.
The Chelsea result was heartbreaking, but to say we deserved and should have had 3 points is seriously over stating it.
We could have come way with a win, but Chelsea were massively on top for basically the whole game.they had 23 shots to our 8.
