This season there have been a number of controversial decisions relating to whether the ball had gone out in the build-up to goals.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta whinged that he felt the ball was out prior to Newcastle’s winner against his team back in November – even though another angle appeared to prove otherwise.

Appearing on Manchester City’s official podcast, their star striker said of the changes he’d like to implement: “The first is to introduce goal line technology all over the pitch, so that you always know when the ball is out of play.”

The Norwegian, 23, then revealed his gripes with throw-ins themselves.

He added: “But what annoys me is throw-ins.

“If you throw this way or that way, it doesn’t matter. Just make sure you have two hands on the ball.

“I don’t even know the rules, and if I’m going to make a throw, I’ll probably do it wrong.

“But it doesn’t matter if you throw the ball straight down, straight up or whatever. I would change that.
