Either these are AWFUL at defending corners or we've improved.

I'm guessing the former.

 

[jimmy]

So we start playing well and he makes a change.

I think he has Maribor in his thoughts now

 

[Markeh]

That's a really shit header

You're not giving us any credit, are you? [emoji6]

 

[FoxForceFive]

I'm a realist. If we do this from corners for another few weeks I'll change my mind in the face of the new evidence!

 

[Mystic]

Nope, the defender played it on, so he wasn't offside.

He was offside from the original pass though?

 

[FoxForceFive]

We're desperately trying to throw this away by fucking around with it at the back under that much pressure.

 

[KopRed]

Stupid foul.

 

[KopRed]

Cue Ming getting beat with the first shot.

 

[Mystic]

Alex Oxalde Leiva.

 

[Mystic]

Oh wait it was Moreno, nevermind.

 

[FoxForceFive]

He was offside from the original pass though?

Yeah, so if the defender didn't play it on he was offside. The defender did though, so he wasn't offside.

Its one of the few aspects of offside that is still clear cut. Ish.

If a defender plays the ball forwards the offside is moot. Hence why attackers crowd the keeper on goal kicks, if a defender tries to pass back they can legally win the ball & try to score.

 

[bobtkelpie]

So with Can on, are we playing 4-4-2?

 

[FoxForceFive]

Gini makes it three!

 

[KopRed]

3-0.

Gini great shot.

 

[Markeh]

Great finish

 

[Woland]

WIjnaldum scoring when we're 2-0 up at home against a load of shit.

Who could have predicted it?

 

[jimmy]

The Gini gets out of the bottle

 

[KopRed]

Give Solanke or Woodburn some minutes.

 

[bobtkelpie]

Where is that finishing skill when it matters?!?

 

[mark1975]

LOL

Lol what? They were both shite and anonymous in the first half. Firmino has been garbage for weeks. Keep obsessing about your latest English pet-hate though, you fruit loop.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Frim and wini scoring in the same game. Miracles

 

[FoxForceFive]

Get Frankie on now, see if he can score against this lot. No league cup to bed him in so may as well.

 

[KopRed]

Can half arsed again.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Can? What the fuck is he doing that for?!

 

[FoxForceFive]

Frankie! Yirrsss.

Come on lad.

 

[jimmy]

Solanke for Salah

 

[FoxForceFive]

Frankie getting into good positions & that run was great. Just a shame it was Chamberlain who passed it, Firmino or Salah would have laid it up for him.

 

[KopRed]

If AOC has an end product, he will be one hell of a player really.

 

[Mystic]

Yeah, so if the defender didn't play it on he was offside. The defender did though, so he wasn't offside.

I've always assumed that the defenders touch was irrelevant, so that it would go back to the touch before it, the Liverpool player, as it was part of the same "phase of play" or however it's called in the new rules.
