Why are they trying so desperately hard to create more goalscoring chances in the game? There are many things wrong in football but this aspect isn't one of them. Clean sheets are not a crime.

Kicks ins are a non starter for me. Teams will aim to get 'kicks in' in the opponents half for cheap shots at goals. The game will end up as a long ball game. Surprised Wenger didn't think this one through.

Because they need to do something to make up fot the 3/4 of the game now being played passing back and forth among the back line all the time. Alot of games last season were a borefest because of just that. Most of ours were and that's not changing so far this one. It's starting to feel like 80 mins of watching defenders passing among themselves with 10 mins of MF and attacking play, half of which still goes backwards several times.
I'd still like to see a rule similar to basketball's half court violation rule. Once in the opposition half, no passing back into your own until a shot on goal has been taken. You want more going on in attack, stop teams from passing it back to defenders in their own half all the time.
