Surprise surprise we're the first team not to benefit from the "new" offside. Yes I know Salah looked off, just like that Manc rat did last week.  Did we see the rat's lines? Not that I recall.  But we saw those today and it appears the Burnley player's line was in the wrong place, shaving a big chunk off his arse.  Same old same old.

Salah was offside. That was a good call.

Silly to think the new rules would end the arguments.  Thinner lines , fatter lines , wiggly lines you still get borderline calls going either way.

There are games where we can get away with the lightweight midfield but I'm not sure Burnley is one of them. 

 

 

This in a nutshell but we really don't have a choice with our selection. Jones is the same as elliot and Keita as in he likes to attack more. We really could do with another midfielder given the circumstances today have taken 3 away from us just like that

There will always be arguments no doubt, that's accepted, but as long as the attacker is getting the benefit of the doubt.  That happened last week with the Manc rat, it didn't happen today with Salah.  We'll see if that trend continues.

Thiago is on the bench right?

If we don't do anything about it before the deadline I'm almost certain the midfield situation will come back to haunt us.  And it won't be through bad luck, it will be entirely predictable with the players at our disposal.

We engage in the sort of game Burnley like as well, which is a factor. We go long, we try to win second balls and duels in midfield to start attacks quickly. The big teams who batter Burnley usually don't even engage. You watch City against them and it's just a totally different game.
