Okay, Rodri's hand did not touch the ball according to you likewise there's no proof Rashford interfered with play as he didn't touch the ball, he was merely trying to come off from his offside position

mostob:
But City didn't find it difficult to break down teams seating deep last season. Somehow, the usually find a way to score thanks to their fluidity and technical abilities. From tactical point of view, do you think Haaland's signing is making it difficult to carve teams open this season?

Chelsea have put on their Hijackers' Cap once again

TheGoodJoe:


This one is just evasion. Debate the point.

Rashford's own, there is clear evidence of interference. He pursued the ball all through and cause Akanji to change his direction. He interfered with the play. The referee knows it, the VAR officials know it, Bruno Fernandes knows it. You know it.

Rodri's case, there is a sleeve rule and there was not enough evidence for the VAR officials to rule. They even released a statement after the game which no one has contested.

Everytime Liverpool loses, the Mane Memes surface

This one suggests how Mane was carrying Liverpool. Lol

komekn:


VO is one of them .

NWAKALI is a non topic.

Napoleon55:

I mean no effence,
How do u actually gave Osimhen that advice ?
Did u reached him personally ?
through his agent?
through his management ?
or did he read ur advice somewhere ?
We want to know,because u've said it several times that he took ur advice .
We want to know how.

Danielnino00:


Oure nonsense.. Mane was also around in 2020/2021 season when we were struggling.. He was so poor that season..
Even last season, he started very poorly.. Diaz was signed in January and immediately took over the LW while Mane was at AFCON..Klopp later switched him to the no.9 role where he excelled...
Mane was a great player for us,but to say he was carrying the team is rubbish...

Liverpool problem is the midfield...the midfield is aged and worn out.. We don't even play our traditional high pressing game anymore...

TheSuperNerd:


And uhmm... It's escalating quicker than I thought. Hijack action in full play.

You sef na January born

Mine was this time last week. Happy Birthday Sir

Karlovych:
Same way the refs apologized to Everton after the handball incident, you have no proof he was pursuing the ball since he never touched it for all we know it could be his way of distracting the defender which is not a crime. The point is the goal scorer Fernandes was not offside, here is another scenario where your team benefited from a similar rule against Aston Villa in 2021

TheGoodJoe:


Fernandes was not the point of discussion here. Jumping to Bruno Fernandes means you are deviating from the point. Rashford ran a long length with the ball. You can not deny that. Rashford without chasing the ball will make it easier for our defenders and Ederson to getting it.

Look at this comment from a member of bluemoon.

Now mark the points and tell me which you disagree with. If not, he was offside.


Is he in the way of an opponent - Yes, Akanji and Ederson
Is he interfering with the movement of the player towards the ball - Yes, Akanji and Ederson
Is he impacting the ability of the opponent to play or challenge for the ball - Yes, Akanji and Ederson

If he had not run with the ball literally under his feet for 15-20 yards, either one of Akanji or Eddie would have cleared it.

So, it is beyond Bruno Fernandes was not offside. It is a ridiculous call. They can enjoy their shafted win.

viva Man united. I tell una say tikitaka is dying off gradually

You guys were totally outplayed today. We won the league 4 times in five seasons. Burnley is topping the league. Yet, tiki taka is dying. Think of a better joke.

TheGoodJoe:


That Aston Villa clip, are you not seeing the Villa Defender with the ball? As soon as the defender touched the ball, you can't rule offside for the City player. Na wa. I can't even believe it is that clip.

Karlovych:
The VAR reviewed the incident and didn't find a clear and obvious sign of interference.
He never had physical contact with Ederson or Akanji, was not obstructing Ederson's view of the ball or Akanji's view. Did he hold Akanji's leg to prevent him from defending the ball?

Karlovych:
In this case Fernandes was the one that touched the ball and not Rashford, only four players touched the ball leading up to the goal, DeGea--Wan Bissaka--Casmeiro--Fernandes. Which one of them was offside?

totally outplayed with one shot on target

I know as you dey type tears dey roll down your cheeks cus wetin u see today u no believe say e dey possible

Congrats for winning for in a roll, united once dominated not only England but the whole of europe in different eras and on our way back to were we ought to be

You better be scared cus the Arabs are coming and when it’s done it won’t be normal domination for city and pep anymore

Thank God Arsenal are doing the needful currently and I pray they sustain it till the end of the season

TheGoodJoe:


You must not touch the ball to interfere with the game. So talking touch is off point.
