Not just him, 3 of the defenders just stopped.

Well they're already not following the new rule as per Liverpool's goal just now.

Correct. When Coutinho attempted to play the ball the assistant referee should have flagged him as offside.

Speculation on sky that line ref was following Benteke and there missed Coutinho - lucky for us

No luck about it. We would have scored 3 more if we didn't get a lead at that stage. I think Mourinho would agree with my sentiment

Not amused...
Soccer/football now has become like rugby with it's pointless and unnecessary rule changes. They fuk with the offside rule, but do nothing about the tackling, choking, shirt pulling, pushing, grabbing etc. that happens inside the box during corner kicks.
This allowed behaviour has taken the advantage completely out of attaining a corner kick. They show the incidents on TV over and over again, but nothing gets done.

The commentators mentioned last night that UEFA pulled the FA up on their interpretation of the offisde rule. The new interpretation was implemented on behalf of UEFA as the FA standard ruling wasn't consistent with other UEFA nations.
The ref's in England are just shocking, there is absolutely no consistency in decisions and it makes it difficult for players and managers. I sometimes understand Mourinho's sentiments.
The beauty about football, has always been the simplicity of the rules. It makes the game easy and fun to understand. The main reason why I don't watch rugby anymore.
With rugby there is so much open to the "interpretation" of the referee, that you'll never get any consistancy.
They should just stick to the basics. If a guy is on the wrong side of the line it's offside. At some level he is getting an advantage even if it seems like he is not interfering with play. It's easy to apply since the guy with the flag simply runs up and down the line and flags if a player is offside.
No need to interpret his intention or the level of his intention towards the ball. Players should just learn to get back onside.
Lets be honest, when it comes to this kind of thing, the less things left for the referees to evaluate the better.

Exactly what you said. Offside traps is a difficult skill that defenders have to master. It doesn't help when a few attackers are able to dance a fandango from an offside position to distract the defence and more importantly the goalkeeper

I don't agree with this. It's something I always hated with the old rule. You might header the ball and the goalkeeper saves it and it rebounds to one of your players and he scores. Now you might still be getting up and be nowhere near the goalkeeper but it's no goal because you were in an offside position.

Then get yourself up quickly get back onside! Defenders have to do it all the time to push up and rebuild their line...I dunno why attackers need special treatment.

No, you won't automatically be offside. If you are not interfering with the keeper or any other opponent and make no further attempt to play the ball, then you won't be ruled offside.
