ck- Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 7 minutes ago, SaintRam said: Fair enough - I got it in my head that it had to be a forward pass but I'm probably confusing it with a rule in another sport. I was confused by this so looked it up: If you read the offside rule carefuly, it states that the player recieving the ball must be behind the second last defender or the ball. As long as the player is behind the ball, it doesn’t matter if there are any defenders between him and the goal line. Whenever there’s a 2v1 situation between two attacking players and the goal keeper, you will often see the player in possession play a square ball to his team mate to score an easy goal. Often, this pass is played backwards which leads people to believe that is what’s making the play onside. However, it’s the fact that the player is behind the ball that makes it onside, not the direction of the pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem in games like this against a very mobile opposition is that Martins lack of mobility puts a huge amount of stress on the midfield who get overrun trying to get up around him when we have the ball and close down around him when we don’t have the ball. There are games where he’s a useful option, I’m not sure this is one of those games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukedcfc Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Martin gave it away about 4-5 times in that half, not good enough from him. Leeds slightly the better side, I don’t think we’ve had a shot on target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Ram Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I do hope we change the tempo of our game next season. This slow and tedious passing around the back and achieving nothing is getting quite painful to watch.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Well that was a boring 45mins... The odd good moment from us has been when either Rooney or Sibley have ran with the ball and tried to make something happen. I'm a big Martin fan usually, but it's just not sticking when we get it to him at the minute. And for duck's sake someone shoot! It's Kiko Casilla in goal, not Peter Schmeichel!

Can't we have a player that can do both?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to do anything else when your forward players lose the ball 80 of the time a ball is played to them, your central midfield has 2 players without any pace and your wingers spend most of their time chasing down the opposition.

Abu Dhabi Ram Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Leeds know how we play, yep, it’s still into Martin who tries to hold it up. So predicable and slow. Waghorn has offered nothing, and it would be no different if Lawrence hadn’t overrun the ball and took a tumble. There is zero movement up front, all Leeds need to do is mark Sibley, Bird and Rooney and that’s it. With no pace up top there is no long ball outlet either. The end result is the ball gets passed round the back and it’s dull. on the plus side, Cocu wants a striker and a winger... exactly what we need.

Millenniumram Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Well that was a shocking game of football all round. Focusing purely on us, it seems most of our players aren’t arsed at all by this game. Not an awful performance, but very lacklustre. Not showing the sort of fight and desire I want to see against Leeds. Giving them far too much respect. Need to get into them and be far stronger on the ball in the second half. Not really laid a glove on them so far which is very disappointing. Far too many loose passes through a lack of focus, and again a total lack of movement. Come on Derby, at least act like you care!

Its a board to comment on games match day thread and about 10 other people have mentioned him. Go back to other match days thread I don't even mention him at all. If it was anyone else you wouldn't of piped up because Martin is a god because of one season where he was unplayable. Times change in about 4 years go into your back pocket and get him a statue done outsidr the ground. I love Martin but he isn't the answer anymore and if by standing around throwing your arms up moaning or losing the ball im going to comment on it as I would rather see someone else play who would benefit the team or benefit from experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
