I'm starting to wonder if Uefa were right. Incredible amount of injuries this season. Time wasting teams aren't even being punished, Fulham and Villa being rewarded by having not as many injuries.Newcastle have had Schär and Joelinton both go off in the first half, with hamstring injuries. So many injuries this season in the PL, it’s quite remarkable.
I do think all this stop/start for VAR sh*t and extra 10-12 mins every game is messing with people's warm up/warm down and thatNewcastle have had Schär and Joelinton both go off in the first half, with hamstring injuries. So many injuries this season in the PL, it’s quite remarkable.

Someone was saying that to me last night, never occurred to me but makes sense.I do think all this stop/start for VAR sh*t and extra 10-12 mins every game is messing with people's warm up/warm down and that
is when you pick up injuries.
They're playing a 6-4-0 formation and they've got an xG of 0.03. They are concentrating fairly hard on not conceding many.Palace seem to be one of those annoying teams who are basically toilet but still hard to beat, not looking forward to Thursday!
This is the 6th time Chelsea have been drawing at home at HT this season. Of the 5 previous games, they have gone on to lose 3 of them. Will they make it 4 today?Chelsea holding Sheffield United to 0-0 at half time.
Andersen booked in the first half. Come on City, get him another. Not sure Joel Ward going off injured is of any benefit to us, as he's trash.
Emerson displaying typical lunacy in scything down Mateta just outside the box: Palace fans raging that he only got a yellow. Presumably the referee's logic was that as it was (1) Mateta and (2) not against us, it could not be classed as an obvious goalscoring opportunity.
Also saw a stat (that I annoyingly can’t find at the moment) that the sprint element of the average player‘s cumulative workload has increased significantly - bound to lead to increased injuriesI do think all this stop/start for VAR sh*t and extra 10-12 mins every game is messing with people's warm up/warm down and that

They basically have a nine man defence with a lone forward designed to be hard to break downPalace seem to be one of those annoying teams who are basically toilet but still hard to beat, not looking forward to Thursday!
Looks like the Newcastle player is delivering a spinebuster or chokeslam.
