Also you can say penalties are a lottery, but you can’t tell me that going second in front of the other fans isn’t a big disadvantage

What like scoring ?

I think he means you've gained an advantage over your opponent/defender by being in an offside position.

Haji wasn't at any extra advantage by being 0.01mm ahead.

We should move away from the victim mentality on the offside. It was a huge come down when we thought we’d won but Wright should have scored earlier and Simms was unlucky - from 3 down we massively exceeded expectations and should have won

wright being offside by a toe had zero bearing on whether torp scored. 99% of his body was onside, did they think that his toe made a difference?

If we’d started the game as we did from the first goal we’d have won handsomely

The ball hasn't even left OHares foot when the lines are drawn.
AND the MU player is running back.

What a shame.
We’re a joy to watch when the players are freed to surge forward as a pack. So dangerous.
We need to play at tempo more often.

I think they completely lost control of midfield when they took Mainoo off, who is super comfortable on the ball and copes perfectly with being pressed

Man Utd players assumed it was job done and we seemed to play with more freedom. Then they just fell apart under the pressure

It was also a massive confidence disadvantage going into pens. The surge of adrenaline the players would’ve had celebrating that goal, it gets disallowed and then focus is gone. All momentum shifted to Man Utd. Just a shit situation to end a classic cup tie.

Strangely Tavares made a difference and he and o hare started to create. Sakamoto and O hare combined well and it seemed it was similar. Torp did well in extra time. It’s disappointing but to get back from 3 down was incredible

When he walked up smiling/smirking I knew he’d missed. Seemed to masking lack of confidence.

Can’t fault any missed pens though, I was fucking exhausted watching, let alone playing 120 mins then all that pressure.

We've done ourselves proud today.

Honestly, if Tavares doesn’t get injured, I think we win that at a canter in Extra Time 2nd half. They absolutely couldn’t handle him.

Absolutely perfect super sub performance.

Between Torp and Eriksen, you’d have thought Torp was the danish international on 100k per week. His best performance by a mile for us and was unlucky not score that absolute missile.

Of all the stupid modern rules having two coin tosses for pens must be the dumbest. What’s even the rationale for it?

Just Grendel always siding against City in the name of balance. How you can look at those lines, with one going over the defenders foot, and claim it’s a clear and obvious error I dont know.
