A few seasons ago the authorities decided to extend the advantage rule. It meant that if there was a foul and the move came to nothing, play could be pulled back and a free kick awarded. However, that never took off in the way I hoped it might. Recently Spurs were awarded a free kick in such circumstances, but only because the move failed almost immediately (I think the ball went for a goal kick). Personally, I would like to see a longer time delay before the advantage is regarded as 'over'. I'm not advocating the lengthy delay that we sometimes witness in rugby union, but somewhere in between might work.
Just my opinion. Others' thoughts are welcome whether or not they agree with mine - to me, presenting a good case either way is more important.
