Wish Pogba could get further forward

My understanding of the current handball rule in terms of giving a penalty away is that it all comes down to the 'silhouette' of the offending player - if their hand/arm is away from their body in a position that isn't deemed natural, and the ball hits the hand, it's a penalty, regardless of whether that was the player's intent

“If your arm... stops the balls path to deny a goal scoring opportunity it’s a pen”

Don’t think that’s correct.

Its penalty ffs

It's hard to watch United 'live' on snail stream while on here. Always behind.

Emotions echo effect.

If it’s in an unnatural position. You can’t just pick out part of what I said

Exactly this. His arm was out, and the ball hit it.Nothing to do with the intent, his arm was out for balance or to just have a hold on to Matic(?).

It's quite similar to the one that was given against Spurs in the CL final the other year.

If it was purely down to intent, you'd see maybe 3 handballs a season... Who intentionally handles it?!

I can because I agree with the unnatural position part.

I think the part above is wrong.

They're hitting the space behind AWB every time... Putting king up against Lindelof

We need the 3rd

Lindelof better than slab today

Kind always likes to score against us. Both their forwards are fast.

King* not kind

Nervous everytime they are attacking now with the way de gea and the CB's have been today

And 3/4 of our defence might as well be made out of clay

Come on palace. Get them points at Leicester

Palace have scored one goal from 152 corners

Needs to end 4-3 to Palace, but I need Vardy to score 3.

We're still two CBs short . Was hoping Mcguire was the answer but the more I see him struggle with his mobility the more I believe 80m could have been better spent

Because Vardy is in my FPL team and I don't have enough to transfer him out for someone in better form

For what it's worth I think the handball rule at the moment is dreadful and seriously needs to be changed.

In fact, there isn't even one handball rule - it's different depending on where it happens on the pitch and what the possible outcome is. This is in itself is ridiculous.

Knew about that before we signed him. It's why I thought Lindelof isn't an ideal. Partner.
