Did anyone else notice that when broke for the goal, Sancho has the ball and Rashford runs almost half the length of the pitch with him, and is constantly in an offshore position ?

He could have been offshore for sure.

He wasn't offside though.

I haven't seen it back but I was sure at the time that he was ahead of the ball so Sancho couldn't pass to him.

Rashford wasn't offside, not that he intended to anyway. It's the camera's angle. It made him look like he will be offside but Rashford is clearly trying to slow down to stay parallel to Sancho.

It’s been covered here he actually wasn’t offside, I thought he was off too.

Was he offshore though?

Was he offshore though?

Anybody who knows anything about football knows stats without context is incredibly lazy and the person citing them are usually lacking in knowledge of the game.

Who cares about 24 shots when 21/22 of them were uneventful? Possession around half way line and outside the box also means feck all.

We were rarely stressed at the back. Battered, most certainly not.

Unbelievable Jeff.

Unbelievable Jeff.

Another stat monkey who doesn’t know how to watch football I’m guessing

Rashford’s foot was over the white line and the ball wasn’t. He was off at that point at least.

He’s been offshore for a while now

Oh yes I just rewatched the video. Rashford was offside at a few certain points. Guess he was just too fast like a young CR7!

 

[Daengophile]

Yes we did.

Indeed. But I'm sure Chelsea came away having learned the lesson that it's not the ship that fires the most cannon balls that sails away with the gold

What the hell is offshore in football!? Never heard the word used in sports unless it's the players bank accounts.

It's basically off(side) for sure so no need for VAR. You live and learn.

Ok thank you.

How can we be climbing out of it? We were pathetically defensive, no attacking intent at all. Lucky they made a mistake for us to score because we couldn't string 2 passes together.

Just not getting beat is a rung up from where we were. I did say we were mostly terrible.

When you’re getting hammered every week the first thing you have to do is stop the rot. Given recent experience, expecting us to play well, even expecting us not to be terrible, is not very realistic. Getting a few results will help. As it happens we’ve actually won a game tonight. O happy day.
