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

[SWP's back]

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.

Yes it does

Not if he's already offside.

See shots that the keeper saves which rebound to players offside when the shot was taken. Flag is then raised. It hitting the keeper doesn't then play them onside.

Don't worry. Many people get mistaken like you on this.

You could see Demichelis tell everyone to hold the line but Fernando was day dreaming.

This performance is like Pelle's hair, dead.

If they can't see we need half a new squad that doesn't include Wilshere and a new manager then they never will.

That's not how offside works

Huh, well you learn something new every day.

Boot up the backsides required at half time

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

players are dawdling on the ball and getting caught in possession, seriously need some pace in midfield....Silva not been involved in this game at all

 

[VinceYoungisaBLUE]

I feel we're just STALE and need new energy..

Yaya is a shadow of his former self

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Count the number of passes before we give the ball away. It's pathetic. We're playing like Barcelona are the visiting team. We haven't created a real chance since that free header from Fernando. Villa are dominating the game and it only takes one lapse or a dodgy offside decision to get them back in the game. Sherwood's clearly changed something and Pellegrini has failed to react. We should've been 3-0 up after about 25 minutes and we end up hanging on.

A visiting team just above the relegation zone shouldn't be getting 56% possession against us.

Shite hlf hour. Don't think we had a shot after the 15th minute. Piss poor.

Which probably won't happen
