Now we have VAR should they change the offside rule?

Several instances recently of players being offside because one part of their body is a few centre metres beyond the last defender. I really don't feel goals like our disallowed one last night should be ruled out.

What do people think - move to a clear daylight rule or some other form of measurement or keep it as it is because removes scope for any debate?
