Laws is an ironic way of putting it. ;-)Yeah but that isn't an issue, they have their own laws this season.

Thanks for being rational.Poor first half. Excellent second half.
Hats off to Sheffield United they are a really well organised side, Not looking forward to going to Bramell Lane.
KDB took control of the second half and we started to dominate.
Well done Blues.
I don’t think that is at all what people are saying, some of the offsides are being given for arms, armpits and fingers being offside, that’s what people are questioning.
Also the poster you replied too can say as many times as he wishes he thinks the goal should not of stood, but he was incorrect in the match thread for saying the ball hit the ref, and again the ball did not touch the referee so goal given and completely correct decision, and in complete compliance of the laws of the game.
Are you a Leicester fan ;-) they also have a game in hand.
Rodri looked like he played CB the whole second half. He was so deep and had no influence on the game, not sure if we switched to 352 in the second half?
Over-analysis given game is 48 hours from Wolves. Did you expect flowing football?
Their offside should never have needed to be sent to VAR it was a clear offside that the lino should have seen.Agree about Sergio likely deserving a freekick.
But ignoring that, I’ve just posted another explanation of why I still think the current VAR offside review is a farce, including today’s instance — I’ll obviously take it today, but I don’t have to like that I am doing it. ;-)
Did enough in the end but it’s no wonder we are 13 points behind when we keep churning out performances like that most weeks. It’s so laboured, predictable and lacking any purpose. That style only works when we play with tempo otherwise it’s just side to side passing. Until we scored we didn’t trouble their keeper at all. After we scored they came out and our formation change allowed us to look more threatening but that was more down to them than us improving.
Mahrez had a decent second half to his credit after a non-existent first half, Sterling though was completely anonymous all game, he’s the only runner in the team but doesn’t seem to want to run anymore and thinks he’s a ball player now, needs dropping to the bench for a bit in my opinion.
Garcia didn’t put a foot wrong, deserves to keep his place but I suspect rotation will see him drop out next game, Hopefully won’t be long before he gets a run of games. Said pre-match Foden would get his customary ten minute cameo and Pep was right on cue with that sub almost to the second, should have got longer on the pitch over the last 3 days. Rodri looked a lot better after the switch, game was passing him by too easily beforehand due to his lack of pace, perhaps that’s the formation we need to play with him in the side, might be worth giving it a go from the start next game with mendy and cancelo coming in got to be worth having a look at as opposed to a similar game to today and the last few months.
He looked so lost in that first half and then second half, even though I thought they offered little threat I thought he looked really deep. Hard to tell from where I was, but after the burnley game I was oozing for Rodri but since then he’s looked really pedestrian.He played in between Dinho and Garcia in a 3 mate, he had a huge influence in the game to be fair, certainly more than when he plays a standard DM
I think it is harsh to say it was “obvious”.Their offside should never have needed to be sent to VAR it was a clear offside that the lino should have seen.
