Walker was the one that I was most frustrated with today. Just would not pass the ball forward to the runner.

Obviously he has been immense as a superfast defender but when he is part of the attack we falter imo. I was hoping for Lewis to come on 2nd half (even if that meant we were vulnerable on the counter).

Here’s the angle we needed to see: Ederson is completely affected by Rashford, Fernandes has the shot he can because of Rashford affecting Ederson’s position.



Clearly offside.

It goes back further than that also. When that ball is initally played to rashford, Ederson will make a yes/no decision on whether to come out and clear the ball. As it looks to him like Rashford is running onto the ball (so in Rashfords control technically even if he hasnt touched it), he stays in his box (because rashford is interfering with play and effecting the outcome). The fact he doesnt touch it does not make any difference as he has gained an advantage for his team from an offside position.

Its an embarrassment to the game….

None of your business

Calling the city fans shit.you could hear them continuously singing up until the second goal. Then the Rags started to support their team..

I never said we would.

I'm just saying we won't.

Just got home. Fucking livid. One of the most bent games of football I’ve ever watched

Simple question:

From the picture above, does Ederson stop where he is there, or does he continue to advance on the ball and clear it, IF he thinks Rashford isn’t about to shoot?

It’s not even a serious question, because he obviously would have done.

Then, ask yourself IF Rashford was not between Akanji and the ball, could Akanji have been quicker IF Fernandes was the only player advancing on the ball?

That is TWO key defenders on the play who are affected by Rashford’s movements with the ball…whether he touches it or not.

Ridiculous OVERTURNING of a clear and obvious offside.

As Pep said, you have to understand where you are playing. Then, look at the Ref. It’s getting tiresome.

In addition, Rashford doesn't touch the ball, because he knows he's offside. So why did he continue he run, knowing he's offside, if he didn't expect to get some advantage? He knew he was Influencing play.

Shocking officiating. We’ve had some go our way in the past so I guess it all evens out eventually.

Oh!! stop it Rio.

 

[east2]

Wow a rag who went lol that's very rare.

Yep! Exactly what I thought sat in your mums box room watching it! Another fucking JCL

 

[Jimmieblue]

Why give linemen flags at all it’s pointless, running up and down waving them about when the decision in the end is subjective! Ruined the fucking game.

I'm so puzzled by the offside rule now. I'm watching Brighton vs LFC. March made a run, didn't touch the ball but was deemed as offside, he was offside. I don't know the difference between that and Rashford

Shirt colour.
