.Williamson. 83,770 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 This is another issue that I feel needs addressed. Our forwards seem to have a real problem with being able to stay in line with the last defender. Morelos is horrfic for it and yesterday evening Sadiq was doing my head in with how often he just floated around behind their defence. hammer93 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie0202 12,561 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Sadiq was brutal at staying onside yesterday. Morelos used to be bad for getting caught offside as well but I feel he has really improved since the horrible offside he had in Europe against Maribor (I think). big blue Fin, NeoGeo7 and SkylineBlue 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehost 11,061 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 ive no idea if he was on or offside, most of the time, because BT chose not to show a replay. I've no idea, if it was penalty or not, in the first half, because at half time BT decided not to mention it and instead decided to show replay, after replay of a non-incident re McGregor. In short a rabid shithole of anti-RFC sentiment drove the narrative, leaving me unable to be sure that sidque was actually offside, every time he was flagged offside.

A lot of great strikers get caught offside a lot it’s (usually) because they’re consistently trying to get in behind the opponent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morelos actually has improved but he does still get caught offside more often than I’d like. Sadiq seemed to really lack a basic awareness of the rule itself now I don’t condone Gerrard for putting him in the team but Sadiq is not even Scottish championship level from what I’ve seen either from the development squad games or this game.

CoopsLaud 4,186 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 The offside rule is one of the first rules you have to learn in football. Schoolboy stuff. Amazes me how professionals who have been playing for years still repeatedly get caught offside. You get caught with the occasional close one, but getting flagged multiple times in a game is just not on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadiq came on against Killie and was caught offside 4 times in a 10minute cameo....yesterday he got caught 3 times in the 1st half whilst us getting into a good position, if a centre forward can't look across the line when supposedly leading it then his number is up.

Guest Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Not a major issue for me. Of course shouldn’t happen all the time but shows he’s playing on the shoulder and looking to get behind. Van Nistelrooy and Filipo Inzaghi 2 of the greatest goal scorers were constantly offside during their games. Have a word with Kent and Ejaria to release the ball quicker rather than taking 10 extra unnecessary touches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Morelos has improved - gerrard was actually shouting at sadiq to give himself a yard as he has the pace.

Tom0411 1,228 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 The annoying thing about Sadiq is that he has pace to spare. He could have started 2 yards onside and still left those central defendets for dead. Zappa6995 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but the gamble is about being aware and not getting it timed quite right. With Morelos a while back and Sadiq yesterday it was lack of awareness and being inept that was the issue. Yesterdag he wasn't even looking at the line etc, he was like a daftboy chasing a ball down the park. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie 12,905 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Getting caught offside so often is just the trait of a lazy laid back cunt. How can a waster like sadiq play fuck all all season yet be given 90 mins in our biggest game so far,fucking madness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as it pains me, the officials got it right with most of yesterday's decisions, Sadiq was almost always in an offside position and then the dive in the box....... Fucking useless cunt. Whoever looked at him and said 'he's a decent prospect must have been pissed.' Morelos plays the percentage game and gets caught sometimes, other times he gets off the mark and has a chance, but all strikers get caught offside just not every time they get the ball in their direction.

siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Sadiq - donkey who is best forgotten about. Morelos - as most forwards do starts his run in anticipation of a quick ball, too often our midfield is far too slow in releasing the pass thru either having no vision, wanting an extra touch or both. Needs to be worked on at the training ground. Blumhoilann 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
