Makes a valid point about how he's ever known football and hasn't ever really experienced anything else since he was 11. Really think it's bad for players to be picked up so early by clubs, don't get to experience what normal life is like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Can anyone point me in the right direction for some stats on last season. Basically I'm curious about this whole "Newcastle are time wasters and have the least ball in play time in the league" I have a theory that we won a shit load of corners and even free kicks last season compared to many and with Tripper taking almost all of them and being a bit slow when trudging over and setting himself for a shot/cross, probably played more into it rather than Pope wasting time or "dark arts" so to speak.

54 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) How Long Is a Football Match? If it sounds like a trick question, that’s because it is. You want to say 90 minutes, but technically you’d be wrong. We caused something of a stir this season when looking into time wasting in the Premier League. It was topical at the time because of how much criticism Newcastle United were getting for disrupting the flow of games. Multiple opposing managers jumped to similar conclusions. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta accused Newcastle of wasting time in January; three months later Ten Hag called Eddie Howe’s team “annoying” with respect to apparent attempts to wind down the clock. They weren’t the only two, either. We found that of all 20 Premier League teams in 2022-23, Newcastle’s games had the smallest percentage of total match minutes with the ball in play, and that remained the case at the end of the season (51.8%). But how do Newcastle and the Premier League in general compare to the rest of the big five leagues? Well, the average total playing time of a Premier League match in 2022-23 was 98 minutes and 27 seconds, which was the longest of the top five leagues. But the ball was in play for only 54:52, shorter than both Ligue 1 (55:56) and – marginally – Serie A (54:54). When converted into percentages, only La Liga (54.6%) had the ball in play for a smaller proportion of time than the Premier League (55.7%). Ligue 1 was comfortably in front with 58.1%. As for Newcastle, only two clubs had poorer records in terms of percent of total match minutes with the ball in play. Cádiz were level with them on 51.8%, while Schalke (51.7%) and Valencia (51.6%) slotted in at the very bottom among all clubs in the top five leagues. You can’t put it all down to time wasting, but Newcastle’s average of 29.6 seconds per delay – which is the time between the ball going out of play and play being resumed – was the third highest in Europe this season behind Brentford (31.3s) and Everton (29.6s). However, it’s a problem that goes beyond Newcastle; or Brentford and Everton; or Cádiz and Valencia. No major league in Europe has the ball in play for even 60% of the time and the figures are decreasing – for example, the Premier League’s best season on record in this regard was the 2013-14 campaign (56:43). So, fans are seeing less action for something that continues to cost more to enjoy every season. Don’t be surprised if this eventually leads to the regulation match time of 90 minutes being reduced. https://theanalyst.com/eu/2023/06/top-five-league-stats-goals-cards-time-wasting/#:~:text=Well%2C the average total playing,A (54%3A54).

I don't believe that for a second. 1) It was started at last years World Cup. 2) The actual rule changes were done by the IFAB, not the PL. I do think more noise and media narrative around it last season was centred on us, but the rule changes were already coming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 The rule changes to thwart us have been astonishing to be frank. The fact we don’t complain about it really shows how much we are politicking and trying to win friends within the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
