Not according to the rules.

He’s offside before that though. By being in an offside position, and reacting to receive it, he’s offside before Lovren touches it.
Andy wrote:No, it’s not the law. He doesn’t have to touch it. If he’s in an offside position when it’s played to him, then he becomes active and is offside when he’s, “challenging an opponent for the ball,” or, “clearly attempting to play a ball which is close to them when this action impacts on an opponent.” He’s doing both those things. See countless other offside decisions where the offside is blown when the player is still ten yards away from the ball, but chasing it.

Andy wrote:Yeah, did you read the rule about when he’s deemed active? He doesn’t have to touch it. He’s deemed offside as soon as he’s active. People keep saying, “He has to touch it.” No. He. Doesn’t.Its the law as told on www.thefa.com mate, he's not offside.
