You really are blinkered aren't you?De Gea isn't standing, he's crouched and Sigurdsson's head is directly in his vision of where the ball is when it's deflected.
Even with the vagueness of the offside rule it's seems to be the reason why VAR ruled it out as no doubt the majoority of people don't know about the deflection/rebound part of offside and it not just being when the ball is initially played.

Everton v Utd
Atleast Im not a glory hunter tra babe xx Nobody could accuse you of that being an Everton fan :lol:www.readytogo.net
1. De Gea is wrong footed and is already committed to diving the opposite way
2. De Gea can also clearly see DCL and where he is aiming for - as far as im concerned if it deflects off one of their defenders thats not any of our players faults
3. DCL's shot is going the opposite way to Gylfi's position hence why De Gea is diving that way - Maguire's deflection takes it towards Siggurdsson who can do nothing about that
4. Sigurdsson actively gets out of the way of the ball in order to avoid the offside
Yes rules are grey and not clear cut but thats where common sense and proper officiating comes into it - they took literally 10 seconds to check when in reality its a difficult decision to look at.
As said other leagues dont have this issue so why is their so much controvery this season in English football? Are the refs really that crap or is it bent?
You tell me.
