What are your thoughts? How would it shape the future of the game tactically? Which style of play or manager would have the most success?
I would say that a high press system that relies on mitigating counter attacks by catching the opponent offside might suffer the most. For example - Ange’s high line defense against Chelsea in their 4-1 loss.
Any team playing the high line will need a rethink. I am a Liverpool supporter so automatically I am thinking us as we play a high line and get caught out occasionally but the change will make it so much easier for the opposition.
Teams playing deep and on the counter attack will benefit alot from this. Essentially teams at the bottom of table will benefit.
