Akanji was yards away. If he'd made any effort to get there, it would have been offside

He slowed down because Rashford was in his way and going for the ball.

Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. 1 shot on target in 2 games is a very worrying stat.

Daylight robbery

Read on in the rules:

"Interferes with the movement of the opponent towards the ball, this is an offside offence if it impacts on the ability of the opponent to play or challenge for the ball"

He was shielding the ball thus impacting the ability of Akanji to play it.

Fucking cheats!

Ive just edited my OP

Akanji

Was nowhere near Rashford or the ball. May as well say he was shielding it from Haaland as they both had as much chance of kicking it

People will moan and shit on the team. The truth is we had the game completely controlled, and for whoever says we didn't have chances other than goal, neither united. This is all on the ref

We had the game controlled for 35 mins of the second half but we only created one chance that Jack put away. I thought they created more. I am annoyed that both Malacia and fernandes ran around fouling at will. Bernardo should have taken there player out on the right that led up to the goal as apparently that was allowed.

Crooked , bent , cheating SWINE !
We should have had minimum one penalty.
Their first goal Rashford offside and involved in play , BENT AS ANYTHING !!!

Akanji was yards away. If he'd made any effort to get there, it would have been offside

you don't think Akanji gets there first if he's not doing that ?

 

[remember arthur mann]

Chill. Do Arsenal then do these cheating cnuts in the cup. All these dodgy decisions remind me of the dipper league winning season.

I don't understand why we refuse to play over the top to Haaland but give the ball away trying clipped balls or wayward headers into the midfield.
The Offside goal is a farce, he is running over the ball for multiple seconds.
