Bolton boss Sam Allardyce has called on Fifa to scrap new guidelines on the offside rule, despite his side profiting from them against Leicester. Allardyce deliberately employed players in offside positions at free-kicks during the 1-1 draw at the Foxes.
He was keen to try to catch Leicester out, although he admitted he is against the changes to the offside rule.
"I think they have got it wrong. There is nothing I can do about it apart from try use it to my advantage."
Bolton employed two unmarked players standing in "offside" positions close to Leicester keeper Ian Walker before running away from goal as a free-kick was fired into the penalty area.
"I don't like it, I don't think it adds anything to the game whatsoever other than confusion.
"It's not the referees fault, it's Fifa's. Hopefully they may change it back.
"It caused some confusion particularly in the early stages of the game and gave us some good opportunities which I was disappointed not to take.
"More and more managers will look at this interpretation and start using it.
"But I don't think it will bring out the entertainment value. It will detract from it," added Allardyce.
