Looking back should Pickford be coming for the first goal also was completely in no man’s land for the second we are so poor this season at defending crosses 4/5 six foot plus players and can’t win the first header

Said the same when I first saw the replay, he makes the decision to come and it's a really poor one as he's never going to get close to it, and so when it's headed back across he's just left them with an open goal.

Not enough discussion about their offside goal imo... What's the actual rule here?

Was he interfering with play? Debatable.

Did he attempt to play the ball whilst in an offside position? No debate.

Genuinely don't know what the rule is here.
