He should gave just got rid of it. He gave moss the opportunity of playing it on. He could have cost us the palace game as well.He thinks he's Beckenbauer at times when a Hause hoof would have done.I haven't watched it back, but from first glance it seemed like he turned his body to play back past the player, I'll have to look at it again.
McGinn out for Saturday. Barkley goes missing.I thought the whole back 4 and Martinez were very good, midfield and up front lacking a fair bit

Mings could have headed that clear and past the halfway line rather than inviting pressure onto an already pressurised situation following Martinez's poor clearance . Poor decision making from a lack of experience at this level against this level of opponent . Frustrating
So we went to Manchester and we were robbed by a ridiculous piece of refereeing. Standard

He played central for most of December and we played fantastic football. He pulls more strings from the centre but may produce less fantasy football points.Jack is less effective central, better out left
Initially I read that as 'better left out'Jack is less effective central, better out left

I thought he was immense last night did mostly what he's great at defend.I am a bit bemused about the stick Mings is getting lately. Seems that if he doesn't play like Moore and Beckenbauer rolled into one eery game it's not good enough.
He may not be them , but he is still a very good centre half.
My views:
1. I thought and still believe it is offside but I am slowly getting to the stage where I can understand why the law has been interpreted as it has been in this instance. Mings isn't actually tackled, he plays the ball and Rodri blocks it, but it's extremely tight (took a few views for me to be sure) so you can suggest he has received it but I'd find it hard to say that or for anyone else to do that. Likewise, be has controlled it already with his chest trap (rhetoric question: how many touches are defenders allowed in such a scenario?), more on that later.
2. The 'challenges for the ball' line earlier in the law, that some like @mike_field, @david-avfc, @overlookedvillan and @Villa 4 Ever have mentioned isn't relevant as that comes in when the last touch is from the 'attacking' team or City in this instance. It's why it's not being mentioned anywhere as the line being shared is the one relevant to the situation, due to Mings' chest trap and touch/pass(?). Likewise, @Old Trinity Villan your questions on a keeper making a save, that's another exemption in the law to invoke offside.
3. Mings trying to take the ball down isn't a mistake, I'm not having that @Silhillvilla or @robbali. We clearly, all season, have tried to get the ball down, play and be effective in possession. In that scenario, Mings thinks he has no pressure coming on him as that ball approaches him, so he shouldn't just give it back to City to let them attack us again, but actually give us a break. The critique you could say is the chest trap. As replays have shown, he checks his right shoulder to see Rodri, so to me, the chest trap should have actually been angled off to the left so the play could move that way and ensure he is between ball and opponent if Rodri gets involved in the new phase of play.
4. I think I'm in the minority, but I thought it was fair cop for the penalty. I'd be disappointed if it wasn't awarded our way. Might be a shortish distance but he sees the header (ie. not blind to it) and the arm was high and wide.

It would be great to see us make a farce of it by trying to get Ollie into a position like that where they call him offside.
