There could be a good reason for this case in point:
In case it’s too small a player needs a minimum of 28 touches
How can Luton have more players getting into the box during games?
I know taiwo has been injured, and he’ll probably be in there soon, but we need to be in there causing havoc and commuting defenders to the foul
Last year we were rewarded 6 penalties (only scored 3) so by that logic we should have had 2 by now
Probably in part due to the fact that Taiwo, CHO, Wood have missed lots of games too.

could it also be that our players are too honest and try and stay on their feet when they feel a slight challenge.
Plus we have been denied more than one clear cut penalty this year!

Not buying that argument Tricks, MGW is one not shy of taking a tumble not that I like to see it. To get a penalty you need players running in the box not just touches and in my opinion we aren’t doing enough of that. Not got the stats but how many pens did Johnson win for us last season? Willing to bet is was the majority of the 6. We are missing a player making the driving runs he did for us.

This.
Not enough dribbling into the box by the wide players, taking the man on.
There have been times I have been screaming at the TV for CHO or Elanga to take the man on when approaching the box, they either get past, lose possession or win a penalty.
I have no qualms at losing possession in this manner.

That sort of play seems to have been stamped out of the game, despite the likes of Grealish etc being a better watch, players are discouraged to try to beat a man in favour of the safer pass option

Well dodgy today though, wasnt it. I sense we wouldn't have got it if they hadn't got theirs earlier.
Props to MGW though for slotting it away in the face of some serious intimidation.

Garnacho just scored an absolute wonder-goal to put Man U 1-0 up at Everton.

The Premier League is Corrupt as fxxx according to Everton fans.
They are probably correct but its funny how supporters always think their own club is squeaky clean and has done nothing wrong.
Yes that was an unbelievable goal from Garnacho.

Pep is not happy about the atmosphere at City.
Loads of these EPL grounds are nowhere close to their reputation barring the odd song they sing every game.
Was amazed how bad it was at West Ham.

2-0 Man U now with a VAR-given borderline penalty.
Good for us that Everton are losing but I imagine Dyche is going to have them wound right up for their game against us.
