This season the rule seems to be that you can be offside if you don't interfere with play. We saw recently with Liverpool that not interfering means simply not touching the ball. Liverpool were awarded a goal when a defender attempted to intercept a pass to an offside Salah (would have been deemed interfering last season) and the defender diverted the ball into danger and another Liverpool player scored.
In the Leicester Spartak game on now the last two Leicester goals involved a player (Iheanacho?) running into an offside position on the right drawing a defender and allowing the young new striker to receive the ball on the left (onside), run on, and score. It looks like a deliberate tactic to me. We need to watch out for it (and try it ourselves).
There will certainly be a rule change in the summar to stop this one imagines.
Funny old game (etc.).
