PS what is bogging me off is that we are talking about VAR, officials once more instead of the game itself.

The ironic thing about that “ offside” is that the linesmen flagged a few times during the game and the ref blew up. If you look at the picture the linesman still has his flag down. That picture is the point in which I mentioned. Rashford half fakes a shot. For me that’s when the second phase of him being involved, the first when he chases the ball. Like I say if he is stood not making any attempt to go towards the ball, it’s a simple case of he is not offside.
I noticed that. He flagged twice in 1st half against City. Replay showed they were very tight calls. I was surprised he did, as City were in pretty decent positions

Watching the Liverpool game and the ball is played forward to TAA who is offside. Deflection off a Brighton player and the ball is going for a throw in so TAA jogs after it and gets no closer than 5 yards but is given offside ??‍♂️

Trying very hard to get away with that one decision.

I thought Atwell was shocking.

I thought Ten Haag has regalvanised Utd. Next year will be interesting with Utd from the start of the season.

Interested to hear the comment that TH was running the Munich second team whilst Pep run the main team, he does have a good background.

Glad to see tight Derby games again instead of the days when Utd could get a big score and then City could.

It is nice to play a derby, and not concede 5 or 6. The game could have gone either way. City didn't really create anything except their goal. Maybe a few times thet put in a cross, or blocked shot, but generally Utd defended well. Utd probably had better of chances before the goals, but only just and had to rely quick counter type attacks.

Still think City are some way ahead of Utd in terms of quality. Yet, there are very few positions in the Utd team I'd now be desperate to replace with new players. Apart from the No. 9 position, we seem to have a pretty good bunch of players, and even some good options off the bench.

Could both Liverpool teams be looking for a new manager this evening ?

I very much doubt Klopp will be getting sacked any time soon - we aren’t playing well at the moment but certainly not going to be any panicking at the club

Offside rule is a joke. If it was against UTD I'd be livid. Was a great Derby, i was up with the gods in the North stand but both sets of fans were in good voice all game. I was worried after half time as we sat back and let City play for 20 minutes.

That said, if I was a City fan I wouldn't be worried about VAR, I'd be more worried about 1 shot on target. I don't recall De Gea having to make a save. Somethings not clicking for the noisy neighbours at the minute but I can't put my finger on it.

My musings on Utd .......

- I always harp on about character and ETH has transformed the character and spirit of team since the start of the season.

- Since when did Luke Shaw become a decent Centre Back???

- Garnacho is a beast and has the most potential I've seen in a Utd youngster for a long time.

While I agree, I think Klopp Is safe, conceding first in 21 of your last 35 games in addition to the frankly abysmal way we’ve played all season I don’t think it would be panicking. We are awful. the performance at Brighton today was woeful, the players didnt look like they knew what they were doing. The midfield, which was running riot last season at times, was non-existent yet again.

He’s got a hell of a lot to sort out. And had half the team in training during the World Cup, we’ve had a few games since and nothing is changing.

Think Rashford had a lot of potential ?
