Why Wenger's New Offside Rule Is Awful For Football

Arsène Wenger has proposed one of the biggest potential rule changes in modern football: the “daylight” offside rule. In this video, we break down exactly what Wenger’s suggestion is, why he thinks it's important, why he's wrong, and what he could do instead. We'll find out why he thinks it would be good for attackers and how it would actually instead encourage low block defensive football. If you enjoy clear and calm football analysis in the style of HITC Sevens, Tifo Football, or The Athletic where the concern is with ideas rather than hot takes then subscribe to Theorising Football, that's exactly what we do. We do thoughtful videos about the beautiful game. 0:00 - Intro 1:05 - Part 1: What's Wenger's Problem 1:57 - Part 2: Why does he have this problem? 4:37 - Part 3: Is Wenger right? 6:53 - Part 4: Should attackers have an advantage? 9:26 - Part 5: Does daylight offside actually grant attackers an advantage? 12:15 - Part 6: Is there anything good about daylight offside? 14:28 - Part 7: What could Wenger do instead?
