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.
They are not stupid goalkeepers and they are smart enough to abuse allowable rules for doing something beneficial for their teams. Like in tennis, you can feel uncomfortable with Nadal and Djokovic with their long ball bouncing time and abuse on break time for restroom just to cool down the match when they are in bad situations, but rules allow it, and professional players know how to use it well.
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.
Any playing rule change will affect all clubs, coaches and players one way or another. All players in their career do have time of playing unfairly to secure advantage and final win for their teams. This playing style is controversial but if your team have advantage and need to secure it for some last seconds, something ugly can be used by players not only goalkeepers.
