The Offside Rule

[BigDunc'sFod]

Can someone explain to Jelavic how it works?

Can someone explain to Jelavic how it works?

Can someone tell some of the others to play the ball earlier

He was born offside.

Jelavic translates to "yard offside" in Serbo-Croat

Frustrating, isn't it?

Not much of a striker when you're totally incapable of timing a run..

 

[manxtoffee]

Surprised our coaching hasn't picked up on it tbh.

He plays on the shoulder of defences, he's going to be offside when his midfielders havent got a clue on when to play the ball.

If you're playing on the shoulder you need to either bend your run or time it for when the pass comes

Go easy lads. He's just in a bad run of form. He was unlucky today. The team was unlucky in general.

Very frustrating though.

 

[WuTangToffee]

He plays on the shoulder, he's going to be offside 80% of the time.

Blame the supply, or the lack off, as we are forced to play to Fellaini's tune and isolate Jelavic, his work rate is excellent, the goals will come, double hattrick vs Southampton I think.

No. He needs the service. If he got it when he wanted it he wouldnt be offside simple as that ffs.

Filippo Inzaghi probably disagrees with you.

Its one of those with Jelavic, if he was scoring nobody would really notice his offsides. He takes those chances to get in the positions needed to score.

Jelavic has been offside more than any other player in the league, it's something he definately needs to work on.

Disagree with this mate. In my day I played up front on the shoulder and the number of times I had to explain to the midfield that I can only make the run once drove me mad. If the midfield hold the ball for a split second too long you'll be offside. If they then play the pass anyway you look like a tit who is always offside, but the reality is you've found a decent position but the pass was too late.

...the fella is ok the margins are so close. Nobody complained when Jella scored with last kick against Spurs. Its a fine line so give the lad a break chaps. Supporters can be so fickle and have a short memory.
