Remember the Lovren to Kane one ?
It’s been a rule for a long time.
Still a joke.
I thought there was a difference between a defender actively making a pass and accidentally deflecting it ?
Genuinely can't remember why. Could just be age...
Luckily I don't have a dog in the fight in either game, but every time it happens it makes me enjoy footy a little bit less.

It’s about having a “genuine attempt” at the ball - doesn’t seem right though

Just my opinion. We have already gone through this. So if the defender had tried to play the ball but missed it, would Salah have been deemed to be offside? Nobody seems to know anymore how the offside rule works.

Perhaps you (or anyone else) could explain why the Wolves player was "offside by the rules of the game".
I'm genuinely not being obtuse, it looked a lot less offside than Salah.

The guy who took the corner apparently was offside when the ball went back to him ?‍♂️

Liverpool were lucky there. Took advantage of today's bizarre interpretation of offside (Salah), and potentially Wolves 3rd goal because VAR can't even have a camera showing the full width of pitch.

Thought Wolves were decent.
