To the losing team, it’s time-wasting. To those leading, it’s game management. But there's one thing that's not in doubt: it's getting worse.

Fascinating. Shows our eyes don't lie. It also begs the question of how Eddie got booked for timewasting after 33 minutes of a game. Bent doesn't begin to cover it.

Interesting that despite all that added on time at the World Cup, they were still only averaging a touch over 58 minutes playing time per game. Over two minutes less than City’s average.

The annoyance is not the actual time wasting but the continual break up of the game. This is ruining the entertainment element of the game. Arsenal this season have taken it to a new level.

Shows how bent hat Everton game was, imagine if they’d used that whole game & analysed injuries, technical problems & then ask how has Ederson been booked twice compared to this.

That game was the worst of the season so far. It made me seriously think about jacking it in.

Because South Americans are in it

Ever watched a game between 2 South American teams? It's a difficult watch if you get wound up by play acting

Be interesting to see a comparable table of minutes in play from the Argentinian or Brazilian league.

Just surprised me with all that added on time that they were still only at 58 minutes. Some games felt like they went on forever.

It won’t solve everything but definitely time to give a stop clock a go for me.

Actually it’s bordering on cheating. Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a sign from legohead for one of the players to go down so he can get some coaching in.
