You really think this fella is better than Pickford?

I know you watch games and not just stats.

He's like early Pickford where you knew he'd make incredible stops and probably screw some up. So yeah right now I'd swap them without hesitation.

 

[Toast]

Gary Neville has made me hate Man U. I was able to tolerate before that silly gobshite turned them into a cult

Strange family that when you think about it.

 

[TheBigIguana]

standard of 'keeping on the prem is below average compared to previous years. Pickford is not the worst.
Like the Villa keeper.

The Villa keeper is great?

 

[Goat]

Made one against Wolves when a shot was going well wide and he tried to catch it and it went for a corner, made one against Arsenal where he flapped at a cross, it fell to one of their players and it was deflected onto the post, he is an accident waiting to happen, really hope we get a top class keeper in the summer

Oh for sure.

 

[TheBigIguana]

I take it he looked like a tit on the United goal, then?

Yes. Dropped a cross.

 

[kenada_blue]

Which makes it defender error, not offside.

So... we're basing a rule on if we think a defender knew a offside player was near him?

Like who mate?

 

[canuckblue]

Yes. Dropped a cross.

I guess you missed my attempt at humour.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Like who mate?

That’s what Brands gets paid the big bucks for mate

 

[kenada_blue]

So, the City player was onside!

New phase. Go look at the screen print I have put up again!

Jeez...

Yes. Interpretation of a new phase, which as @Tubey has pointed out doesn't make sense.

Nothing to do with the blades of grass.

 

[TheBigIguana]

I guess you missed my attempt at humour.

Yeah sorry I did.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Fernandes meant that snide stamp

 

[TheBigIguana]

Anguissa is the player we all want and hope Gomes to be.

 

[Goat]

Anguissa is the player we all want and hope Gomes to be.

Oh God, not you as well.

 

[kenada_blue]

You are completely ignoring the next phase of play.

Every attacker in an offside position runs back to get himself onside in the next phase of play. That is obvious. As it is obvious that Mings starts the next phase of play WHEN THE MAN CITY PLAYER HAD MOVED TO AN ONSIDE POSITION.

Jeez, get it right, will you!

So answer why doesn't a striker just do that in a game all the time?

Also...name another time a goal like that had happened?

Also...VAR ruled that the second Ming's touched it, it was the 2nd phase. The attacker getting "onside" doesn't come into it cos he doesn't have to get onside.
