VAR

Evening All. First of all, the defeat yesterday was fully deserved, they wanted it more than we did. We have a few players out of form and obviously injuries not helping especially in Midfield and attack.

Anyway, I have seen still pictures and numerous replays of Rashford’s goal and for the life of me, can’t see how how he was onside. I thought that we have moved away from the dotted line from the arm and only focused on the feet. Have I got this completely wrong?

Rashford's toe was over the line shown which I understand is now thicker to give more of a margin to the attacker but it seems they have also added a margin to the thicker line based on the evidence of Monday night.

However I'm not even annoyed by it as we didn't deserve anything. We couldn't do anything with our attacks despite pouring forward and left massive gaps for United counters which turned into dangerous attacks. If the shoe was on the other foot and Salah and Diaz had those gaps we'd have scored several goals. They should have scored more but for poor decision making/finishing.

I was thinking the exact same during the game about Diaz and Salah. While they had their moments during the game there was a lack of quality from Elanga and at times Rashford.

Rashford really needs to learn how to time his runs better. There is no player who gets caught offside more than him, in relation to minutes played. And whilst it was marginal on this occasion, I don't think it was that difficult a run to time properly and leave it without doubt that he was onside.

Just a long term peev for me.

I see no reason to rule out a goal that Joe gomez gives up even trying to chase and put the guy off.

Vvd did the same v palace.

Both cbs gave up the chase and just hoped alisson would bail them out.

Even a 5% chase of putting the guys off.might give him some chance

It was clearly offside but it's done now so onwards and upwards.

It wasn't clearly offside if it went for you though, right guys? 😂

Backwards and downwards in this case.
