Former Premier League winning striker Chris Sutton said the law was well known among the players.
“It’s really smart from Luis Diaz because he knows he’s next time Tarkowski has played the ball,” he told BBC Sport.
“I do not think that changing the law is a good idea. It is more complicated than this only scenario, because without having this subjective element, you would be back to the place where everything is offside.
“If you are Everton, you feel a little hard by – I understand that. But everything cannot be black and white unless you want to come back to the days when if someone was offside, then it was the call.”
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, the former left back of Liverpool, Stephen Warnock, had a different point of view.
“This is a problem in the rules book and it is where it comes from,” he said.
“Because they look at the list of things and they say:” Did he interfere with the game? No. “”
“Well, in fact, it is if you have played the game and you understand the game.
“If you are a few meters behind me and defend the edge of the box, my body is always in the U-turn, thinking:” Where are you and what are you doing? “”
“Are you going to come and bite in front of me? Are you going to make a movement and try to put yourself next to yourself? So I always react to you. My body still feels and my Eyline is always drawn to you and the ball, so I constantly have my head on a pepper, so you sink to me.
“What if you have gone and talked to all former professional players in training centers or wherever they are and said” is it active in this position? “They would all say” it affects me 100%”.
“But there is a kind of checking list in the offside rules, and that’s a problem. You sometimes need to use common sense, and you have to understand the game.”
