MOTD: 14/01/23 10.30pm.

Here. We. Go.

I know I'm not allowed to say it, but De Gea was £#%&! for the goal, again. He's hugging the near post like a bastard comfort blanket. There's only one thing De Bruyne is doing from there, and it's not squeezing it in the near post.

Enjoyed that.

Seems like the highlights were really short.

Great to see Rashford looking so happy.

Pep is a nimrod.

Richards is FEWMIN

You know they're seething when the rules come out

They never do it for anyone else.

Akanji steps forward to play Rashford off, but Bruno's behind him so that's poor defending. Rashford just stops, Bruno runs through and scores. End of.

loving the bitterness

Linekar gutted

Play to the whistle, boys.

I'm convinced Haaland would look 5x the player playing for us, even though he'd have fewer goals.

The laws only serve to support the decision. He either has to make a deliberate movement towards the ball or to block a view or impede a player. He does neither.

Tbh, I think it’s a nonesense law and there’s no way the country’s most
In form forward isn’t interfering with the play when he’s clean through on goal, but by the law, they have to give it.

Akanji in not playing to the whistle, so tough shit moment.

Totally agree. Told the blues that were bitching; it's stupid, but thems the rules atm, and absolutely no doubt they've benefitted from the rules previously and will again. Just so happens that today we benefitted

I'm still convinced Rashford makes £#%&! all difference in the end btw. And it's less offside than Salah's goal last week.

Yep. Him following Rashford’s run isn’t enough. You see defenders go to clear the ball from an offside player. It’s the same thing. Salah scored one like it last week.

He did though. He tried to cheat by stepping up on Rashford, with no idea where the ball would end up or where Bruno was.

Ward-Prowse is ace.

It's no worse than the one Liverpool got away with.

Nobody muttered a word when Lukaku did similar v us at Goodison a few years back.

I hope the squealing blue scouse go down tbh. Sick of them.

It’s all well and good the centre half whining about him playing Rashford offside, the fault is with none of their midfielders tracking Bruno’s run

If I’m taking my red specs off, I think he influences Ederson’s position. He sets himself for a Rashford shot, but I don’t think it makes a difference to the defenders and they’re really naive there. I think it’s a smart goal from us too. I think Rashford and Bruno are straight onto it and know what they’re doing once the ball gets towards the edge of the box.

The second Bruno stuck it in and the images showed rashford didn’t touch it, the goal was always going to be given.
