Arsène Wenger proposed changes to football

If this exists, we need to bring Chicharito out of retirement.

how this onside in first picture when the guy 90% of his body is offside? wtf you doing wenger.

if we talking like 10% of body is offside like foot or maybe shoulder then it's fine but not when almost all your body is offside.

Stupid to go through with this. I'd keep the current rule and just check feet or legs of the attacker. No shoulder/bum/nose offside etc

I don't mind the idea in theory. Will have to see how it plays out in practice to know for sure. The rule definitely needs changing from the current interpretation as it's now far removed from the point of offsides, which is to prevent attackers from just hanging out behind the defenders. There's no material advantage from having your toenail slightly ahead of someone else, especially since they will rule goals out for that even if it's not the player who ends up scoring (e.g. what they were looking at Hincapie for yesterday).

The truly elite superstar times their run almost perfectly like EH. Kind of takes away from players who take time to work on their movement and positioning no?

Anyways he will go from scoring 40 to 50 a year

If there is a gap you’re offside. If the camera can’t decide a 50/50 then it’s close enough to give advantage to the attacker. Less messy.

I’ll balance that out by giving defenders more protection in the penalty area or with what’s handball or not.

That balances out the defender/attacker advantage debate.

This rule will make set pieces 100x stronger. Rarely you'll be offside on a set piece with this rule. 2nd phase of corners, free kicks etc.

 

[MikelHadADream]

Think this would be a disaster tbh. Think you’d see more low blocks because pushing up the pitch would be suicidal.

Really not a fan.

Bernardo's offside goal today would have stood with this rule. Which is stupid imo

 

[ArsenesCoatMaker]

I like it, I really hate amazingly impressive goals that are off my milemeters. Before VAR I liked some goals that were off but the ref missed them.
