Winning the second ball, or not as the case is, is ruining our play. We are giving the ball away far too easily. Simple passes going to the opposition. We panic.
Is that true? You're right I don't know the laws of the game! Always thought it was just the position of the players that matter, not the direction the ball is going.
Didn't see the game, but interested to know if Schmidt touched the ball, as he's not been mentioned in the thread.
I think that Norwich were good value for the win, personally. They reminded me of us, but with a touch more quality.
according to the norwich commentary Kane didnt touch the ball and the offense was that Styles played it to himself
Not true. Ball direction doesn't matter. https://behindthefootball.com/can-you-be-offside-from-a-backwards-pass/ Correct decision. Good corner idea, badly executed.
You can be offside if the ball goes backwards as long as there are not 2 opponents closer to the goal than the player who receives the ball. It's unusual but the player can be offside. You can't be offside if you're behind the ball.
