craigkillie Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Aw f**k off with that btw. Looking forward to Alan Lithgow's 35 'saves' next season then by that stack of nonsense definition. We all know what a save is and that, sir, was not a save. That's just a matter of the choice of wording though, I would agree "save" is a terrible word to use, but the intention is for it to be a catch all for any attempt to directly prevent a goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddie06smfc Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Surprised no one has mentioned Robertson’s part in the goal, nowhere to be seen. Overhyped pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig makes a fair point, but i'm not convinced Valverde actually has a shot to be blocked. That being the case, what we are then left with is a bog standard sliding tackle, which I don't think could be legitimately spun as a save. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) 8 minutes ago, craigkillie said: What is being overlooked in this discussion is the definition of "save". People are naturally assuming that it refers to a goalkeeper, but it also specifically includes defenders trying to block a ball which is going into or near the goal. In this case, that applies to both Konate and Fabinho, who are trying to block a shot from Valverde. If it is a save, then the attacker is still offside, similar to if Allison saved a shot which rebounded to a player standing offside, something everyone would agree should be offside. When Valverde plays the ball, Benzema is in an offside position. For the purposes of the offside decision, nothing that happens in between those incidents plays him onside again. I don't think Valverde touched but even if he did Benezema wouldn't have been offside if he scored or took a touch then shot. Benezema is only offside if Valverde's touch brings him into play. It didn't then Liverpool play the ball three times. Edited May 28, 2022 by Detournement 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure Fabinho was trying to save a shot. Wasn't he trying to stop the ball being played by the forward? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the whole of the defensive side of football then, if we're playing a choice of wording game. What is an indirect attempt to prevent a goal*? What is not very close to the goal, that would then magically remove this immunity? We can safely file this stack of nonsense in the bin where it belongs then, having been deployed not once in a high profile match prior to this back of a fag packet, VAR face-saving exercise. * Spoiler 'Trent's attempts to cover back post crosses.
