String fellow Posted 1 January 2020 Share Posted 1 January 2020 It seems to me that a simple change to the offside rule would make it easier to administer. Just the whole of the ball needs to be over the line to be a goal (or out of play), why not make it so that the whole of the attacker's body needs to be ahead of the whole of the last defender's body for the attacker to be deemed offside, when the ball is played to him.

Super_horns Posted 1 January 2020 Share Posted 1 January 2020 I guess they will say it's being consistent! Sean Dyche will probably praise the ref etc for the decision. Even in the Chelsea game you could see the Chelsea players checking they could celebrate ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Prussian Posted 1 January 2020 Share Posted 1 January 2020 Aston Villa get the deserved lead. Especially after that ridiculous VAR decision. Brighton are just so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they would still have to draw lines and analyse it to the millimetre in the marginal instances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterpool Posted 1 January 2020 Share Posted 1 January 2020 It's going to be interesting relegation battle come May, the whole of the bottom half could be involved in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTY_FOX Posted 1 January 2020 Share Posted 1 January 2020 Man grealish gave wesley a right sloppy kiss on the cheek after the goal, pulled away and the saliva, still stuck to his lip, was also still stuck to Wesley's face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStandUpperTier Posted 1 January 2020 Share Posted 1 January 2020 You've got to hand it to Dyche, he's done a wonderful job in assembling a mid-table Championship squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniFox21 Posted 1 January 2020 Share Posted 1 January 2020 Obviously we all say Maddison, vice versa for Chelsea and Villa fans. But it all depends how Southgate wants to set up. For me Maddison, but gut says Mount would be chosen. Grealish plays wide predominantly so may not fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish maybe on that list but he's yet to get an England call up, I've got a funny feeling Mount will make the team but not Maddison. Even though Mount I found a tad overrated, while Maddison is currently playing for a side that's sitting second in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen I kinda warmed towards him for abit about a year or so ago but that didn't last long - I think it was just because I was so frustrated and fed up with what was happening here. I don't think Dyche would have it any other way, he loves hiding behind the money excuses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't get the respect from the fans and players at an Arsenal or Spurs. I remember he was linked to the Everton role and their supporters were like no way - not our type. Think they ended up with Big Sam anyway!! Edited 1 January 2020 by Super_horns 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanchflower78 Posted 1 January 2020 Share Posted 1 January 2020 Hugely important game today against Geodies. Chelsea win brings them right back in it, need to continue the excellent work achieved so far. No time for slip ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Md9 Posted 1 January 2020 Share Posted 1 January 2020 Burnley just need to be gone. At least some teams play some decent football even if they are gonna go down would swap norwhich for them Evan Watford. Hopefully keep dropping lots of points for the rest of the season and be gone with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
