Man Citeh XIV 2 v Aston Villa 0 Post Match Thread.

So basically all your attacking player's can stand behind the defence then put pressure of the defender just waiting for a misplaced touch.

But Ollie's fingernail can't progress further than the defenders armpit.

Got it...

I don't understand the rules of this game anymore.

Reckon it's time to replace Mings.  Regardless of the offside decision, it was yet another dithering on the ball fuck up when he should have just cleared it no messing, like Rio Ferdinand said.   England international my arse.

He was very good tonight. Our back four was incredible, they had so much thrown at them and they stood strong. He made countless blocks and won lots of headers.

He did....but it's those unforced errors that cause all the problems. A few minutes before the goal, he made a mess of a clearance that nearly ended up in our net. Another effort to play the ball in our box nearly caused another problem. If he could stick to the basics he would be fine. You don't see Konsa making those mistakes and taking unnecessary risks.

Right side of defence a problem? What games do you watch. Cash was superb, as was Targett.

Almost every attack came down our right side, change your spectacles. Cash was torn a new one

I think you were watching a different game  Cash was superb. If there is a problem it’s Cash’s cover

[Percy McCarthy]

What does the offside rule actually say? We need to know the facts.

In terms of their goal, the player becomes onside when an opponent (Mings obvs) deliberately plays the ball.

as said before if keeper makes a save and player in offside position scores the rebound  it's a goal because keeper deliberately made the save and therefore plays him on. what a load of s**t

we would have been 4 down already without him ...he got in the way of everything

You just know that if Watkins tries something similar in the near future it will instantly be given offside because it’s us not City or United.

The rule is open too all kinds of interpretation but does state that GK saves would be offside.

Mings does make one mistake a game but he's still a great player and wore his Villa kit on the train to Bournemouth.  Lest we forget. 

[Lastfootstamper]

Not having that penalty. The ball was smashed at him. I thought they'd made allowances for that again?

I think they'll look at it a bit like umpire's call in cricket, where there's not enough to overturn the on field decision. So if the fat ****** hadn't given it, neither would var.

[walsall villain]

Whoops I’ve messed up on the response to quote there, popped up in wrong place (it’s offside 😉)

[Somniloquism]

Mings did nothing wrong, he had time to chest it down seeing the play in front of him.As he does not have eyes in his arse how does he know Rodri is behind him in an offside position. wtf is he meant to do, just leave it and wait for a player in front of him to come and nick the ball? Rodri gained an unfair advantage and if not one of the 'big six' it would have been ruled out. We are getting.far too many bad decisions.

Last year in the FA cup, Liverpool's lower league opposition had a goal ruled out because 5 phases before play the a similar thing happened where someone coming back was offside by an ankle. It wasn't quite the same as it was played to the player directly without the touch but......

From 41 seconds on the below. It was so far back in the play that the TV VAR was looking at the wrong incident.

I can't wait for Saturday. That will out some extra fire in the players to smash Newcastle.
