Fifa technical director Marco van Basten's has proposed to scrapping the offside law and West Ham boss Slaven Bilic says: "I can't imagine what football would look like, but my first reaction is it's impossible. Everybody would love to have a rest by the goalkeeper on the post and just tap in the ball.

"I really don't know, maybe to try it and see it on a pitch or organise a game. If I had to say now, no, but I don't know what it would look like."

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino also felt the offside rule was part of what helps make the game and said: "I understand that sometimes when you are in some position you need to try to find ideas, but I don't want a machine without offside.

"My first impression I think is, be careful. Because in football to change the rules is a very difficult thing."
