If Rashfords is offsides, then many of Barcelona ‘s goals shouldn’t count when Messi was offsides and then was a dummy for Neymar OR during WCF, Nessie’s 3rd goal skills count because Messi “interfered” with the plau
Don't blame United for the win, blame how the rule is written in the book. Not our fault for taking advantage of it.
Football is always a cycle. Manchester United, and Arsenal are coming back. Ac Milan and Inter are back as well. I’m pretty sure when Juventus and Barcelona fix their issues they will too. The old days are coming back😁
Remove OFF-SIDE rule.. dont think its needed anymore..
Steve and You Guys have Great Football Brains. Fair Play. Love your Content.
Look at Moe Sala the Other Night. Centre Half Played him Onside. This must be Fixed.
Unfortunately the Letter of the Law is the Law. Even as A Man United Fan. I think the New Law Is BS.
Is it just me.. Most of these decisions are going man utd's way.. Remember Arsenal had a goal disallowed at old TRAFFORD
Pep Guardiola can't accept a defeat like a man, what about games that city benefited from referees?
Funny to see claims of delusional united fans here 😂 Ole has beat Pep several times but eventually he got sacked. Just reminding
Rules are rules. If you are that stupid stop playing because you think it’s offside. Then it your own fault. Who you think you are talking about the rules.
City to Haaland is the same as United to Ronaldo. Both team suffered by trying to play through those individual players..
Love it 😂😂😂 Hated adored Never ignored. Punditry today is low standard. No wonder Fan Channels have taken over the media Punditry
City need to get a midfield player next season 😁
Possession without penetration is a waste of time. – Sir Alex Ferguson. ❤️❤️
Bruno goal should have been disallowed.apart from that Red Devils were better
WHOEVER CAME UP WITH VAR CITY BLUES DESERVES A RAISE
Define''play" first.
Well as a neutral I believe m city haven't been as good this season as they have in previous seasons imo they ain't beating teams comfortably anymore possession isn't that relevant its what you do with it that really counts of course they will have more possession against any team they play it proves nothing really but the offside decision changed the game and it was an awful decision imo aswell 🤣 however if arsenal beat m utd next weekend its thier title to lose imo and I hope they do aswell btw 😁
Was buying Haaland a mistake for City because it seems they have changed their fluid style to cope with playing him ?.
Play until you hear the whistle!
I want to ask the panel something if u were on the field and it was one of u scored the goal would we be having this discussion the ref decision is final
If matches were won by possession Louis van gaal would have won the treble with united
Another crybaby legend shitting on the chair 😂😂
With all city's money they are useless ,I repeat useless
Hope arsenal win this and show the clown 🤡 up gor he is pep
Fair play to United. They did the same to Arsenal and got a win when they were not exactly the better side.
I can't wait for the Arsenal vs Man Utd game!
A comback against city is unbelievable any way city deserved to lose 😭😭😭 it hurts especially if you lost against Manchester United
The World Cup effected them a lot.
Possession means nothing, Brentford are prime example, they've beaten Liverpool,United, and City this season averaging 28% possession in those games, but averaging 10-12 chances and scoring 9 goals
you cant be dominating a game if you not also creating chances… the world seems to mad that United won… Except the Gunners supporters…
Who is more bitter, Nicol or Burley?
It's nice to see the smug grin off Nicol's face now that Liverpool aren't performing and well and truly out of the title race.
United controlled City without the ball. They dictated the Man City's game by being organised and keeping them away from Uniteds goal. Superb defensive tactics from ETH. Going forward, United simply looked far more dangerous.
These lot are saying that haaland was missing n de bruyne didn't have his best game as if fred didn't mark de bruyne out of the game and it wasn't Varane n Shaw who kept haaland quiet.
United played well they got the win and kudos to them. Saying that the 1st goal for United and lets be honest here is laughable.
Rashford was in an offside position he consciously went for the ball therefore Cities defenders naturally reacted to him moving towards it therefore he (rashford who is offiside) created a sequence of events that led to the goal…this is were the rules for offside need to be tweaked.
If you are showing intent like very clear and obvious attempt by an offside player that leads to a goal regardless if he touches the ball or not as it did for United yesterday then that should be offside 100%.
Under the current rules the goal stands, hopefully the rules are tweaked a bit since this sort of situation can happen again and maybe teams will take advantage of it.
Where is Don Hutchinson? Confident much about City beating Utd?
The law mentions 3 things. Is a player offside, did the player play the ball, did the player's run interfere with the ball? The first two can be measured objectively and the last one is the only one that is up to the ref's judgement. Rashford was offside, didn't play the ball so you can say he was inactive in the play that scored the goal but whether he pulled defenders or got in the way of them is very gray. Unfortunately there are few cases where the law in football isn't totally black and white and the ref has to make a decision that is controversial. As a United supporter I wouldn't feel slighted if this goal was declared invalid since I can see the argument both ways though not giving it seems to be the more correct decision. This goal wasn't Hernandez at Stamford bridge where he ran into the net, pulled back and scored from an offside position that was invalid.
Onuoha is solid. Enjoyed his commentary.
