Also Akanji just said he played Rashford offside, so from that point onwards when Rashford moved towards the ball Rashford was interfering with the play. Akanji was disadvantaged because of playing him offside.

This is where is stinks. I dont know anyone that plays/played football at any kind of level, who thinks that should be a fair outcome. Akanji has defended well, caught rashford perfectly in the trap and somehow its been allowed to stand despite rashford clearly impacting the outcome because he is interfering!!

You might want to check your CO2 monitor there fella.

I thought we were pretty poor first half, we could barely string a couple passes together and they were pulling out right defence all over for counter attacks. Dominated before we scored second half but didn't look likely after their (cheated) equaliser

On balance rags deserved it. We were woeful, bar 20 odd minutes before we scored we could barely string two passes together

I’ll agree to disagree my friend.

Just been allowed out of the ground, cunts

Were letting City fans go down to the bogs one at a time cunts

Keeping us in the coach park now cunts

Letting the rags get away with bookings from minute 1 cunts

Allowing an offside goal (or do I’m told) cunts

Spreading his arms every time we were fouled, ****

Didn’t sing once til they scored, cunts

How did they deserve it? Relying purely on counter attack like a League One side who drew us in the cup

We were our own worst enemy today constantly giving the ball away. The worst player for me was Cancelo constantly ignoring playing the ball out wide and in the process slowly quick attack to walking pace.

you lose the plot ? no amount of training and talking in the week about not losing your cool can change the fact the worst bit of cheating ever simple

We haven’t in the past. I think we are papering over the cracks.

The same linesman flagged foden first half instantly but left his flag down an age for Rashford

Arsenal have not beaten Spurs yet

They will.

Never put your hope on Spurs.

thought process.....he dummies and therefore makes eddy look at him....its not just the defenders.

Ederson plays the ball if Rashford is not there, ergo he is impacting his ability to play the ball. It's really that simple. I'd argue Akanji also easily plays the ball if there isn't a person clearly blocking him from accelerating. He's not just going to clatter into him, is he? Because then he'd be committing a potential red card offence if it's not offside.

Watched the game on BT and the studio referee Walton was asked if the first goal should have stood. He said the ref on the pitch and var were correct then went onto say because Rashford didn’t touch the ball twatty could. He was asked but didn’t gashfords position not interfere with play? No said Walton there’s been a rule change this season. Well I’ve not heard it has anybody else?
