One of my best friends is a Tottenham fan who keeps giving off about all the penalties we're getting, he's baffled as to why we didn't get as many under Mourinho, I don't think I have the heart to tell him.
Well they were ridiculously robbed of a clear pen at Bournemouth a month ago, so perhaps he has grounds to feel aggrieved.

With VAR this season, City have 11 penalties in the league just 3 less than us. Its just not because of technical players, it's the directness of the attackers as well. Rashford, Martial, Greenwood, James, Bruno are much more direct than any of City's attacker expect Mahrez.
We are playing a very vertical oriented football with very fast players. Teams like that always get a load of penalties.
We did get a couple of dodgy penalties, but that's it, not enough to present us with the Real Madrid award.
