'We might have to play with a stop watch,' says Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta after Takehiro Tomiyasu's red card.
He added: "The new rules are one thing, the way it is communicated is very different but we will adapt."
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville said on Sky Sports: "We went to see [referees' chief] Howard Webb a few weeks ago and it was said the existing rules cater to stop time wasting. "If players start getting sent off for wasting time - this will have a bigger impact tonight on time wasting, than adding 15 minutes on at the end."
That was a reference to the other big change this season - more injury time being added onto the end of games to more accurately reflect all the stoppages. Ex-Liverpool player Jamie Carragher added: "I feel sorry for Tomiyasu. The role of Partey at the start, then Havertz. I don't think Tomiyasu is wasting time, he ran to pick the ball up."
