Having watched a few PL games since the restart, I think the 5 subs is ok, as managers can ease players back and don't have to play them excessively risk injury, though it can end up with teams looking disjointed, like we did against Everton, but that's the managers problem to deal with.
What I think does not work is the drinks break in each half, it really stops any rhythm in the game, we were getting up a good bit of pressure in the Everton game, then the drinks break stopped that, players lose rhythm and the coaches/managers can give tactical instructions to the team that usually only happens at half time.
Why are there drinks breaks now? we usually start new seasons late August when it can be really warm, we do not have drinks break then, better to have a rule that they have drink breaks if its above 25c, they have this at tournaments like US/Africa, especially in England when weather is so unpredictable, It was chucking it down in the Spurs v Utd game the other night and they stopped for a drinks break, can't be why it was introduced ?????
