Even the fiancée has picked up on poor his delivery is. Can’t kick at all and his throwing ain’t much better. Fcuking world class shot stopper though. Well normally. 

His distribution is absolutely woeful and he kills any kind if counters when he takes an age to make a pass

Kasper is covering the near post and his weight is set that way. No way he can dive for the ball so has to go with his feet. The angle was tight, it is an excellent finish.

We won

As biased as I am to us, I always judge decisions on if they'd be penalised or awarded against us.

 

If their goal tonight was disallowed, I'd have been fuming if we'd scored it and it was ruled out.

 

Fair decision. 

 

Easy as that.

Forget the handball if Kasper dives he saves it with ease 

Definitely. It was a strange choice to go with his feet. I can only think that he thought Mason might go high but he still had time to get down to it with his hands IMO. Greenwood is a top finisher though. He may get close to Iheanacho's level one day..

it was a top top finish, got caught out by it, he put it in the only place he could have scored really

The contact with the hand has to be in a part of the play that leads directly and immediately  to the goal 

 

they judged that it was too far before 

 

 

That’s the rule but what a poor decision by Moss in the context of the rule. The United midfielder has assisted in the control of the long range pass with his hand to which he then passes the ball to Greenwood. 
 

The weird thing about the rule is Amad shoots himself and it goes in. It’s disallowed. 
 

It’s a nonsense rule on that basis.

No. You're wrong on both accounts. 

 

It wasn't a poor decision by Moss, it was a goal.

 

And if Amad had shot and scored himself, it would still have been allowed.

 

The rule changes from next season.

 

But come on, that was a fair goal, don't even attempt to say it wasn't.

 

If we'd scored that goal and it had be disallowed, we'd all be outraged.

 

It worked out alright didn't it? And if it didn't, tough. It was a fair goal.

I genuinely thought they were going to get a pen when Youri blocked a shot and it looked like it may have rebounded onto his hand. It would have been  completely ridiculous decision but would not have surprised me at all if it was given. Pretty sure it was just after Fernandes came on as well so the script was written for a dodgy pen against us. 

 

Aside from this, I thought the ref made quite a few bad calls with giving/not giving free kicks. Looked like Maddison was clearly fouled on the edge of their box but nothing given, Greenwood clearly dived and won a free kick that could have lead to a goal etc etc.  

 

**** it, we won!

Was a awful attempt, wasn’t even that hard of a shot to save. His kicking was terrible as always. 

I think that's doing Greenwood a disservice. From that angle, the finish was super precise. He has an extremely small window to hit, especially with the instep of his right foot. Not sure I would place any blame on Kasper.
You're being taught to shoot low and hard for the far corner in those situations exactly because if it's precise enough, the goalie shouldn't save it as he has to cover the near post and middle of the goal.

It wouldn’t. Explain Callum Wilson v Liverpool

Yes I didn’t understand that from his point either …

I agree there’s a case to be had that yesterday’s goal is a subjective decision regardless. 
 

Although my own team on Sunday had an insistence where one of players blocked a ball from point blank range with hand which fell to someone to score - disallowed, I believe Fulham had a similar insistence this season. 
 

Next season, if the goalscorer handballs it, it’s still disallowed - it’s examples like last night which are allowed
