Glad to see that how EPL still has some sense to prevent stupid goal keepers to do time wasting. It's always disgusting when i was seeing a goal keeper such as Raya and E Martinez were always doing time wasting.

The next rule is to give 8 seconds as the maximum time for the GK to holding the ball. When GK holds more than 8 seconds, and opponent will be awarded corner kick.

I do like this new rule as it's preventing team like Arsenal and Villa did time wasting.

I hope this rule will help limit time wasting among premier league goalkeepers especially habitual offenders Ike David Raya, Jordan Pickford, Vicente Guaita, Ederson, Emiliano Martinez, and Nick Pope. But I don't think this rule will be strict enough, the English FA needs to enforce harsher punishments such as match bans or even awarding a penalty to truly deter time wasting. A stricter approach would ensure fair play and keep the game flowing.
