Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he has mixed emotions about the new time-wasting laws.
Klopp discussed the new rules today ahead of Sunday's Premier League opener at Chelsea.
He said, "It's difficult to answer. We have a 90 minute game and then we have a net time for ball in play. People could ask where is the ball?
"In the end, if we can get to 55 or 60 minutes with the ball in play then we will see what that means. It doesn't sound too difficult.
"When I talk about player welfare, it's about too many competitions and too many games in general. Having the ball in the play an extra two or three minutes, I can't see it making a massive difference.
"If we have an extra 10 minutes, that will be a massive difference, especially if a game is 0-0. It'll give teams a massive boost and a chance to go for it.
"I think time wasting got too much in recent years but also rhythm breaking was a massive issue. I thought 'oh my God'. Keepers stay down for too long.
"It makes sense to give yellow cards earlier, you don't want to give the chance to waste time. I hope we can find a solution. We don't want lots of yellow cards and 10 or 15 minutes of extra time.
"It's good to try and solve the problems, but more football is difficult to take in because we are on the edge, there is no doubt about it. We are at the edge and we need to solve that in the future.
"Unfortunately there aren't many discussions about it because that costs money. We'll see how it goes in the next season. If we are 1-0 up and someone says there is 12 minutes extra I will not be happy."
