New offside rule working well....most refs couldn't call it right before!

no new offside here?...

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Hendo is a fucking ace midfielder.

Definitely. Wasn't sure about him a while ago, thought he wasn't going to make it. But as he gets older he's getting so much better and making him captain was almost a stroke of genius.

I hate saying it but this Liverpool teams has some really good players now. Coutinho, Henderson, Benteke, Clyne.

More of a change even

' if a player has a shot at goal and a team-mate in an offside position makes a play for the ball – even if they do not touch it – the goal will now be disallowed'

So Liverpool's shouldn't have counted...surprise surprise it did...

Standard of refereeing same as last season then - but its not important to the media , obviously Eva gate is what people are interested in.

Another absolute shambles from the linesman last night.

Hasn't it always been this way.

Anyway, offside is a nice concept, but in almost every game there is a controversial offside decision, cos the linesmen can't call it right. Either bring in technology to call it right or just abandon the rule.

Calm down lads, Liverpool were only facing Bournemouth...

[Laylabelle 9,296]

Assuming not e hence the wtf about it from the manager and others about what it's changed and clearly not understood

Liverpool won due to a offside goal..man u a og..arsenal a og..we need some luck!

This goal from LFC looking so nice when i'm watching a "offside" from Rammires :v

Leeds 2-0 up with 4 minutes to go and drew 2-2.....

Cabaye was great yesterday for Palace, still so confused as to why a bigger club (like us) didn't take a chance on him.

I think he wanted guaranteed first team spot

Best central back in the world last season has signed for City.

Their line-up this season will be scary...

[Jase 43,479]

Calling Otamendi the best centre back in the world last season is so wrong, so so wrong.

You clearly haven't watched La Liga or Valencia last season then... Who in your opinion, was better?

I'm not going to enter the debate of who's the best CB in the world because it's all subjective shit, but I don't think anyone can dispute that Otamendi wasn't good last season and that he's going to be a great signing for City. I'm hoping he mangalas his career in England, but somehow I doubt it.

[ulvhedin 473]

Otamendi was outstanding last season, he could hold Messi on his own. Lets hope its one season wonder

[Jase 43,479]

Just because I disagree with your point, it means I didn't watch La Liga or Valencia last season? Don't be presumptuous.

He was probably the best centre back in La Liga last season but in the world? That's highly debatable when the likes of Terry, Chiellini etc all did well in 2014/15.
