Don't disagree Broncs, but equally there have been games where he has been totally nullified, and on those occasions we need a different option

 

Cup game though, our bet was league goals

Love it we go to Sutton with confidence.

 

At least 4 or 5 defensive headers too. Great game.

 

Shame it doesn't show the first yellow either which was incredibly harsh and their lad made an absolute meal of it hoping for a free kick because he'd over hit his pass.

 

1 - he doesn't exactly do that every week
2 - completely agree
3 - completely agree again

 

He has to keep scoring as MH keeps trying to squeeze Oliver or Angol up front

 

Nice one I have to question those saying apart from his goals he offers nothing, but hey its a football forum.

 

Pep needs a Plan B.

Clearly lacking.

Can't see them doing owt this season if they aren't adaptable.

 

Loves a good "I was right in hindsight" post does SP.

How's the "Bowen for England" campaign going? I'm assuming he'll rip it up in the world cup?

 

Never claimed I was right. I wasnt against. Just shows folk like you up again, sneering and knowing best.

Much better than your Jesse for England nonsense - thats for sure.

 

Until you realise Jesse has played more times for England than Bowen since you made the call.

Southgate is right though, neither are good enough at present.

I also agreed with the Miller shout, he'd have been a decent squad member in my mind, I'm just missing the Lingard rows

 

Miller would be the one playing instead of Cook i'd expect, not with him. Far too similar.

 

Dont know if it's been mentioned but was he offside yesterday,looked it to me

 

The referee and linesman didn't think he was.

 

A very good decision by the ref/ lino.

Cook wasn't offside when the pass/ shot was played by Chapman and the ball then took a deflection by a Sutton player, so Cook was adjudged to have received the ball from the Sutton player.

VERY fine lines.

 

Now for a question on the offside law. Assume Cook was offside when Eisa hit the shot. Does the contact on the ball from the defender have to be intentional to remove the offside hanging over Cook?

 

We have a different application over here (seemingly all levels belowMLS). It says basically that if a player in an offside position receives the ball from an unintentional deflection off a defender, the offside stands. However, if the contact by the defender is deemed intentional, that scrubs away the offside.
Probably just another of those weird interpretations/ applications when playing soccerball in the good ol’ US of A.
