This is obvoius wrong calculation in FM. Despite of your tactics ( who backpackant describes like rubbish ), we can't deny the fact that ManUtd got 22 shots on target. I consider Shots On Target BIG chances of goalscoring ).
The former norwegian coach of the Norwegian National Team, who is an statistical guru, Egil Olsen, said that normally you score in about 20% of your BIG chances of goalscoring - this is a statistical fact. Then ManUtd should have scored 4,4 goals and Inter 0,2 goals. As you can se the normal result should have been 4-0.
I can understand why Dextorious react.
The best to do, to avoid conflict with our logical sense, is that the AI don't give away so many Shots On Target chances to the usercontrolled player, such as it feels more real to the natures law.
If not, in my opinion, the result should more often reflect this statistical rule.

Again FM showing bias in the game engine so that you don't simply walk away with the game. Sadly it ruins the game for me and many others.

Lol, damn you FM for not just letting us win and that be that. It's as if the AI wants to win as much as we do :p

I'm amazed people can't put it down to one of those things.

Games like this do happen, I refer you to my oft-quoted example of Fulham vs Newcastle a few seasons ago!

It happens all the time, as football fans we have all been guilty of saying "we should have won that", "they didn't deserve that". I'm a Man Utd fan and I can think of at least two occasions off the top of my head where Utd destroyed the opposition, but lost or came close to losing, Portsmouth in the FA Cup and Blackburn towards the end of the season.

The reason things like this are taken seriously is because people think differently to the way the football is played. Ernst says "I consider Shots On Target BIG chances of goalscoring", that's not the case IRL or in game.
