It would be tough to replicate last night. First of all the attacker has to be offside and far enough away from the defender for him to not realise he is there as I am pretty convinced Mings either didn't know or forgot he was there. Then the ball has to go straight to the defender who has to play it and then the offside player has to now be near enough to tackle him without a team mate shouting man on. Then the defender would have to lose the ball etc etc. Given that scenario it makes our goal last night even sweeter. Oh how the piss will be boiling for some time to comeIt is going to be interesting to see if this suddenly becomes a new way of strikers gaining that little bit of an advantage every match now. Stand 10 yards behind the defensive line, wait for the defender to touch the ball and then suddenly spring into action from behind them and try to nick it. In retrospect it seems such an obvious thing to do but we inadvertently stumbled across it!

Correct!The only controversial thing about the first goal is how many people paid handsomely to talk knowledgeably about football in the media know absolutely fuck all about the laws of the game.

This happens all the time. We do it 50 times a match.
Jesus or Sterling or Foden press the keeper, who plays it to a defender. They then press the defender from an "offside" (ie not offside at all) position.
Or a through ball is intercepted, and the forward who was going to receive the pass comes back from an "offside" position to press.
It never gets remarked on because the defenders are never so stupid as to just dawdle until they get mugged while they stare at the opposition player.

Turf Moor could have 2 ft of water on it won't make any difference. Scouse at home.If we were in 12th and out the the title chase nobody would have given a shit. Red bias again.
Having watched the game again we battered them and really should have been a 6-2 result.
Now fingers crossed turf moor is muddy as fuck, cuts up well and the dippers slip again

is this what happens at free kicks one stands off side to pull defence back the rest move on kick of ball the off side player standing still then becomes on side as defence retreats, the rags do this all the timeIt is going to be interesting to see if this suddenly becomes a new way of strikers gaining that little bit of an advantage every match now.

Yep, apart from that gaffe (I kept refreshing my FF team live to see the Gundog points) I thought he was great. He was enthusiastic about the in-game events, rattled off stats on us winning four titles out of nine, and highlighting positive stats on our goalscorers and assist makers.2)commentator kept saying gundogan has scored, when it was silva.
Better than having Darke quoting transfer fees for every player and finding obscure loser stats like Ederson has been on the losing side six times vs Porto when he played for his previous club etc.

Im not convinced by him....whiff of the Scott "Scotty" Parker about him......he's committed alright, but a lot bluff and busterDid he create anything or even put a worthwhile cross into our penalty area ? He's a show pony , looks good on the ball but invariably is ineffective.
