Match Thread | Man City vs Villa (25/04/15)

[SWP's back]

ball came off a city player. not offside.

That's not how offside works

Well either I'm as wrong as Gelson or offside does work like that. You can't be offside when the last touch was an opposition player

I was in the loo so missed it but that's not correct.

You can if the oppo plays it forward off a defender as the offside occurs when the ball is played forward. Hitting the defender doesn't then play him on side.

In what way is it tiring you my love?

You must be drunk .

I am, however:

Mistake duly noted, I used the wrong word... AND stay off the booze on match day threads.

We have really dropped off the pace. Come on boys get it together.

Villa the better team now

We have really dropped off the pace. Come on boys get it together.

Happens far too frequently when we score first

ball came off a city player. not offside.

he is offside in the secondary stage which covers things like ricochets, rebounding off the post and goal keeper saves

This.

I would replace Yaya/Lampard with Dinho tbh at HT.

Yaya was great those first 15 min but his defensive ability is once again not there.

Lampard for Dinho. Nasri or milner for Navas.

Jeez pellers must do something about this, villa will score of he doesn't change things

well that depends on whether you think yaya was going for the ball. Which he clearly was.

A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent, who
deliberately plays the ball (except from a deliberate save), is not considered
to have gained an advantage.

Yes it does
