Glad you said that. I thought I was the only one who thought Toney commited a foul. Not sure though about offside from a corner as we have always undestood. With the new positioning of the ball in the corner arc then the ball could be two foot from the byeline and when the corner swings in an attacker

Backing in and obstructing an opponent has ALWAYS been a foul. Surprised it wasn’t deemed as such by Toney.

I don’t think that was goal kick by Bravo was it? Just a hoof/ pass from open play.

I’ve got it in my head that Ederson did one straight from a goal kick in the second half of a game at the Etihad.

But to be honest what goes on in my head and reality aren’t always perfect partners.

Huddersfield at the Etihad the season after I think. Eddie's was a long pass not a hoof. How very dare you.

It was instruction. He made no attempt to play the ball.

You don't have to, it just needs to be withing playing distance.

It's ridiculous that some of our players were wafting their hands around appealing for offside, given we have used the same ruse from a goal kick several times over the years, I think we were one of the first teams to try and exploit it.

I remember Bravo to Aguero at Wembley v Arsenal in the League Cup? Or was there also one involving Ederson?

2. Sergio against Huddersfield and Big Earl against Brighton.

Just watching the match on replay; in the match thread some poster noted that Reguilon sounded like Italian food. Listening to the commentary he says more like the opposite of constipation!
