What's more worrying for me is that we have scored just seven goals in five games. If you take out the Portsmouth match, that's one goal a game. You don't win games without scoring, and we ain't doing much of that, even though we dominate in every statistical category.
Excellent research Kebab. 5 stars.
How much longer before the 49ers panic and sack DF?
All teams do it including us. We’d see less of it if we could get into the habit of scoring first. But you’re spot on kebab. It’s really annoying. They’ve chosen extra injury time as the ‘solution’ but it doesn’t cover the constant slowing down.
In kids futsal they have a couple of seconds to get the ball back in on throw-ins etc.
There’s a bunch of on-pitch things they could do and post match punishments if there was a desire within the game. Probably the simplest is just to instruct refs to get card happy and then teams would self regulate,
Putting a timer on set pieces as you suggest would be another. Or the more radical one you sometimes hear proposed is the NFL style ‘ball in play’ concept - shortening the official ‘match time’ and stopping the clock when the ball is not in play.
Great post Kebeb. Thanks👍.

Cannot understand why you think they would, they are depend very much on having football people telling them what's what. Do you think our current owners have the insight to tell the difference between a good coach and a dud. Who is going to telling them whether he is doing a good job or not, Kinnear? I doubt he would. If not him who. So if we are challenging and everything seems to be going fine then he will be kept in post despite his limitations. We have to be failing desperately for him to go.
brilliant article Kebab, and totally agree.
can be very frustrating, having said that, we do really need to more clinical and win/finish games off... we can;t totally hide behind this.
City do fine, teams set up at Etihad like this.
United have had a history of managing to break teams down.
at some point, if you want to be a top team, you need to get round this.
but totally agree it needs looking at across the board.
obviously, and before some nut job comes on and says Leeds are no City.. well of course we're not, but a club and team like Leeds, will suffer these tactics at ER. and we need to deal with them
I read on X yesterday that the Burnley keeper had two spells where he had the ball in his hands over 20 seconds. The allowance is 6 evidently.
