  1. It was poor enforcement of a rule that generally makes sense. Imagine if offensive player A crosses a ball into the box to his team. Offensive player B is one of the offensive players in the box and in an offside position. Defender A intercepts the cross and tries to head to head the ball back to his keeper. Offensive player B intercepts the header and scores. Since Defender A took possession and made a play on the ball, Offensive player B isn't called offside. The idea is that an offensive player shouldn't be penalized when a defender possesses the ball and makes a mistake. The intention isn't for an offensive player have a get out of offside free card simply because a defender got a toe on the ball while reaching for it. Especially when he probably doesn't reach for the ball if Mbappe isn't in an offside position.
  2. As long as they have Kante they basically have a full defense. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  3. Every black person is American is required to take tons of White history classes, it seems only fair to do it the other way around too.
  4. No red card on KDB there?
  5. Arsenal and Tottenham killing Chelsea's average. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  6. Nonsense clickbait Yep. It's a whole load of bullshit.
  7. The negative is obviously that we lost. The positive is that on one of those days when the entire team is playing uncharacteristically poor on the ball we still only lost 1-nil to city on a deflected shot. We started playing better towards the end so hopefully this was a wake up call and we see more inspiring play going forward. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  8. Not much to say about the first half. We are defending well but everyone seems like they have a poor touch today so we're not getting anything going when we have the ball. We're probably going to play more over the top in the second half instead of trying to build from the back again city's press. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  9. Ref has been EFL Cup quality along with everything else.
  10. Are y'all still getting the game? ESPN+ just shat out on me. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  11. We need more Timo with Lukaku. We create so many more and better opportunities with them running off each other. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  12. Gonna get relegated. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  13. It's GDT, so I'll see it, but I have no idea what this is about.
  14. Re-watched both goals and they also need an RB who wants to do more than score and assist. I would call TAA's actions on the play god awful defending, but it wasn't even defending. He just didn't try at all.
  15. Lots of goals in this afternoon's games.
  16. Damn, Pool really needs VVD in.
  17. So then it's not a handball. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  18. Gallagher looks really fucking good. CP are going to have the chance to act as a spoiler for all teams other than Chelsea this season with him running their team. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  19. Just got back from watching it. Holy shit, it's so fucking good. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  20. It sounds like there's probably more to the story. Apparently the coach is a complete ass and has been in as similar situation in the past where he tried to force an injured player to play and had a falling out when the injured player refused.
  21. You were right that it's probably Alonso. He's pushing up really high when we have possession so he doesn't always track back in time. But when he gets back you can see him drop to where a wb should be. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  22. The key is that it has to be a handball offense. What it breaks down to is was james internationally touching the ball with his hands when it hit off his thigh then immediately hit his arm. I don't think I've seen anyone argue that would be the case anywhere else on the field. Because it's not. So it isn't in the box either. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  23. Dave regularly plays wb. And watch his positioning. He's playing as a wb. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  24. What's an incidental handball? Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  25. I'm watching the game. We're in a 3-4-2 with two wing backs, which means we're playing 5 at the back on defense. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
