Time to end the Highline once and for all.

With this new offside rule, it will be stupid of us to continue the highline.

Debroslink:
De Jong and Casado should be sold. I don't know why our management can't see that as a priority. They are a waste of space in our midfield and it feels we're always a man down when any of those two feature.

Fdj na average player. He's so overrated. Curbasi will have more passing accuracy & assist than him. I hate those useless turns from him.

Meanwhile, they're saying FIFA don update their offside rule.

[🚨] 𝗡𝗘𝗪: FIFA have approved a NEW offside rule!

⚠️ From now on, an attacker will only be offside if their entire body is ahead of the defender.

🔺Example: In the picture below, this player would be considered onside under the new rule. —[DS Sports]

No way a highly consequential rule change such as the offside would be introduced mid season. The players would need at least 5 years prior notice before it could be implemented across the board, to practice and get acquainted with such 180’C rule change.

Probably it would be experimented in youth level football for the first few years before being introduced in senior level competition.

Remember you need to also retrain the assistant referees as well to understand them. Not gonna be a walk in the park, bro.

Baddestguyp:
And who should play as the deeper Midfielder if you sell both?

Why's it that no matter how good of a season ferran has
He'll most likely not be considered to be a starter for us by most of the fanbase. Almost no one wants him to be the lewandowski replacement

Even I don't want him to be our starter and in have no idea why..

Why bro??

Awesome01:
Barca bought him for over £50m from Man. City after all the hyping; his first impression in his first season didn't convince the fans, so Barca saw him as unreliable and continued searching for a backup striker to help.

Even after he started showing improvements, it came in flashes, He was very good at positioning and movement though, but overtime the faith in him slowly died off.

Same fate may befall Rashford, if he fails to deliver soon.

Kilishihunter:
He's not tailor made for a striker role just as a false nine or auxiliary winger, watch him against inter last season and you'll see the defects

Bimmarlykay:
Aswr...even if 0-roro play 1 match and they lift the cup, his fans will still defend him and compare it to Messi.

I want to see Ororos face after they're eliminated from that WC,and see the energy his fans brag about up untill 2030.😂😎

Derumklala12:
So faith in him had died fully?

Nothing is ending

New offside rule wey never Dey work

Thoth02:
The new offside rule has been approved, although I don't like it. We can't do much with this new offside trap... After the Newscastle match, I will comment.

jpmoriarti:
Na you approve am

Thoth02:
Ee be like na English language be the problem.

"Approved" and "taking effect" are two different things.

While the time it would take effect is not yet certain but doesn't mean it has not been approved.

We still have time to change our style of defending.

jpmoriarti:
Playing highline is the hallmark of Hansi Flick's system. He is not going to change it anytime soon. You have to believe in your style and make it work. That's the only way you can be successful at it.

fatherofnone:
there something called "ADAPTABILITY"
if you to don't adapt to the ever changing times
you'll be on the loosing end
that could be case of mourinho (arguably)

jpmoriarti:
Where then is the place for identity and originality? Yes you must adapt but you have to retain those identities that make you unique. This was why Barcelona defined an era in the world of football.

fatherofnone:
where is the tika taka we were known for
where is it now?
in other to move smoothly in this present time
we must learn, unlearn nd relearn
make baba flick adapt
make e no carry identity for head ooo
be like that frankfurt game for europa
we were playing that dumɓ style that xavi wanted us to perish with
during the dying moments of the game
the players changed style nd started making passes nd pressing madly
instead of crossing nd nodding
good Lord
assuming we had more time
we could have won that match
no let history use us repeat itself
