It's worse than that, playing a high line becomes impossible because attackers essentially get a yard advantage on the defender compared to nowThe offside thing seems ridiculous as any marginal decision will still remain contentious, its just simply moving the lines.
Should be the body mass/torso. Don’t see why that’s so difficult. If any part of the bodies are overlapping then it’s onside. If there’s a gap then offside. Easier to measure with this semi-automated as well.
That’s true but then I think there’d be less arguments about it being as picky as someone’s foot being bigger (wright/wan-bissaka). The perceived advantage to the attacker if his body is clearly ahead of the defender would be easier to swallow.Surely it’s all the same problem of drawing a line and determining if a player is past it?
I don't think Wengers alteration was supposed to be less contentious or easier for the officials? Wasn't it about promoting attacking play and making the games more exciting/more goalsSurely it’s all the same problem of drawing a line and determining if a player is past it?
I think some of the argument is that this will actually hinder that, as teams will just sit tighter defensively. So instead you'll just get a load of Pep-style passing from side to side trying to break through a low block, or get the ball being hoofed from one end of the pitch to the other and midfield becomes pretty much irrelevant.I don't think Wengers alteration was supposed to be less contentious or easier for the officials?
