v Liverpool (07/01/23) - FA Cup 3rd Round - Build Up & Match Thread

[Banjo]

Well, I think today is some good evidence as to why we need a new centre half.

 

[YoungWolf]

That’s offside? That’s ridiculous

 

[WsWolf]

He's offside. Just leave it.

 

[prawnking]

I think we may need to sign 3 CBs…

FIFY

 

[Alan]

What a stupid rule. He’s offside when the ball is played!

I mean Toti needs to do miles better with the header but FFS, can we at least make them earn it?

 

[Jinky]

Never heard that before. So because Toti got his head on it, it doesn’t matter that Salah was a yard offside?

 

[MARKakaJIM]

He's offside. Just leave it.

He's got no clue if Salah is off or not, no-one is taking that gamble.

 

[Deano]

If that is the rule it needs changing. Absolute bollocks, definite offside

 

[HanDoJin]

B team people, B team

 

[WsWolf]

Never heard that before. So because Toti got his head on it, it doesn’t matter that Salah was a yard offside?

It ain't the rule its complete bollocks. Toti plays the ball cuz Salah is running in behind. It's a joke.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

This is the thing with him, isn't it? 99% of each match he looks perfectly fine, good even. But the 1% almost always results in a goal at this level and he's doing it every single match.

It was similar with his Neill Collins too, would play well for the 89 minutes then commit a howler, the similarities are frightening, just at a higher level.

 

[Wolvensam]

Odd one as ANY defender would play that.

 

[AndyWolves]

Such a bullshit rule

 

[NicholasG1973]

Toti is not a professional footballer.

Despite some of the opinions here.

He would be out of place playing Sunday league.

The good news is that JL is seeing it in a cup game and won’t ever let him near a PL game again.

 

[The Bion]

Mike Dean on VAR, oh good

 

[Alan]

Never heard that before. So because Toti got his head on it, it doesn’t matter that Salah was a yard offside?

Indeed.

Although gets even muddier by the “intentional” word in rule. If Toti accidentally plays the ball then Salah is still offside… Because shit can’t be simple.

 

[t3ch]

Centers checked their boxes, now it’s the fullbacks turn to gift some goals

 

[Banjo]

It also suggests communication back there isn't great either.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

It was similar with his Neill Collins too, would play well for the 89 minutes then commit a howler, the similarities are frightening, just at a higher level.

Neill had more moments of magic to balance out the extremes a bit with some goals. Much lower standard on average though.

 

[Dire Wolf]

Like everyone else I think that is offside plain and simple. But we need a new defence, of that there is no doubt.
