    You don't think playing at home has any benefit that would be reflected in results?

    Our away form this season has been a bit of an anomaly so if we can't make OT a bit of a fortress then challenging for titles is a bit unlikely.
    When there is no crowd, no. There's been comfortably more away wins this season than any other season on record.

    One is just as relevant as the other.

    Mods have been lazy today. No updates on the front page, the line-up still not listed to the right, etc. Tsk, tsk!

    Fully deserved that lead at half time. Defensive issues seen again and but for poor finishing by Fulham it could be 1-1 at the break.
    Ole throwing Lindelof under the bus a bit :lol:

    We're pressing really high I think because we want to score a few to welcome fans back to OT but that means Lindelof has to be really aggressive to win that ball back. Tuanzebe doing well though.

    Lindelöf is simply not good enough for a top team in the premier league. I can not remember, when we last had a defender that bad, who was a part of the starting 11 almost every time.

    To be fair unless they can conclusively say he definitely did/didn’t touch the ball, then it is what it is :D

    Cavani wanted to celebrate in front of the fan, it’s done. What a goal. Goal of the season for me.

    We can criticize Maguire all we want but we look all over the place without him in defense.
    Agree. Definitely need to purchase a commanding, fast CB this summer. Evidence is there as we look all over the place at the back without Maguire. I don’t trust Lindelof.

    How can they not see the ball grazed the bottom of Bruno’s foot and changed the direction of its rotation

    Immediately after it bounced there looks to be hardly any spin on it at all. As soon as it passes Bruno it seems to gain a bit of top spin. Hardly any time between it bouncing and passing Bruno but I’ve made my mind up.

    :lol:

    Arguing about the meaning of "VAR", is it the tech or is it the person!?

    Souness can't even agree with a fellow bitter ABU - he's aligned in his hatred of United you peenarse!

    Decent half. We haven't created a lot due to Fulham defending in numbers. Still done enough to be ahead. A bit more sharpness from Bruno and it'd be 2-0. Midfield has been good and Tuanzebe has made a case for himself. Lindelof had his trademark ropey moment though and my worries for the final remain.

    But the star of the show is that goal. Cavani deserved that and I'm so happy that he got it. Great touch from Bruno too. Hope we score another early on to make it a formality. Rashford will probably get 20-25 mins, maybe VdB as well.

    So you don't give us any credit for a fantastic away record then? Seeing as it's all the same like?

    I think it hit the ground and thats why it changed direction.
    Nah, the ball sort of stops dead/rotates less which could be the bounce, but there is also an -absolutely minimal- change of direction (infield) after it sails under the foot. Accidental contact with the tip of a stud at best, but I'll take it.

    If a defender tried to play a ball and misses, the player behind isnt offside.
    Could this be the same idea?

    Yeah Bruno didn't touch that how do VAR not see that :lol: glad they didn't but its crap again.
    We need to allocate an assist properly. Especially because goalkeepers don’t have many assists, every single one is valuable. And if it’s Bruno - then it’s important for the numbers
