Rashford being there in offside position caused confusion and hesitation in our defenders, he’s interfering with play, I don’t know the letter of the law and if they’ve removed “ interfering with play “ I’ve not heard about it

That is just an annoying thing that happened today though and cost us but no point moaning about that there’s much bigger issues with us right now
Most worrying time during Pep

I agree totally , but what I find more worrying is Haaland.Am I wrong in thinking that if he doesnt score he contributes nothing-Or is his only job to score ??

Could this be the beginning of the end!

Seriously???

I'm normally as balanced as they come but anybody reading that offside law, then watching that and somehow coming to the conclusion that Rashford is in no way impacting the action or positioning of the defenders.. fuck me, what are you all watching? This isn't one you can blame on the law being shit, the referees are all absolute fucking wastrels.

Our entire back line was tracking back in a shape to stop specifically him - including, possibly most importantly, where Ederson is stood. Which allows Fernandes to just pass it into the goal.

We were 1-0 and comfortable, not breaking ourselves, managing the game and actually finding holes in their defence more and more.

The wank, corrupt, bent, reffing decison changed the game.

Not to mention the multiple penalties we should have got.

Absolute fucking joke. Anything they could do to bend over for those cunts

 

[Craig]

They didn't produce any danger at all. We were dominating the match. Or the only way to dominate is to score goals? The match could have laste 500 min and the wqy SH was playing out, we would be in zero danger

Not really true as they had the best 2 chances first half and we had none. Yes the first goal was a farce but the cracks have been there for all to see this season

People wondering why Alvarez wasn't subbed on... It's my theory that Haaland has it in his contract that he will start all PL and UCL games and can only be subbed off if he's already scored. Anyone with the facts at their fingertips care to check if that theory holds up?

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Under the interpretation apparently being proposed, you can pass to a player offside, they can dummy it and take a defender out of the game, and another player can use the dummy to take up a position and score but the dummy isn't apparently part of the play. Fucking madness.

I’ve just watched the replay of their first goal and (I know this is unpopular view) as far as I am concerned there was nothing wrong with. Rashford didn’t ”interfer”. The two City defenders closest to the ball didnt stop or noticeably slow down as others on here have suggested.

Akanji noticabley didnt speed up and then claimed the offside. Deffo interfering with play.

And that, in front of the keeper in the penalty area is always offside.
