I'd actually be surprised if the ball was in play for 45 mins. I think the average game is around 60 ish

Augme · 31-08-2022 10:05PM

Great to see Justice done. Too often refs don't count time wasting in injury Time. Great to see the ref didn't bottle that this time.

BenK · 31-08-2022 10:07PM

I would've loved a Liverpool loss there to be honest but Newcastle can't have any complaints, they were time wasting for the whole 2nd half and it bit them in the ass.

31-08-2022 10:07PM

I think everyone should be happy to see Liverpool get that, timewasting is getting worse and worse.

As I said earlier it's really sucking the enjoyment out of the game.

Sure is.

Which is why it was great to see Newcastle lose 3 minutes beyond the 5.

Klopp really took out all his frustrations at the end .....with a smile.

Brilliant.

Must not have watched the game

BenK · 31-08-2022 10:21PM

Ha ha. Eddie Howe saying there was no time wasting from their perspective, just tired and fatigued bodies. Impressive to say that with a straight face!

Infoseeker1975 · 31-08-2022 10:23PM

The Newcastle keeper wasted about 15 minutes. In stoppage time of 5 mins, he went down after 1 min with all sorts of ailments, stayed down for 3 mins and was thankfully ok. The ref just added those 3 mins on. It was embarrassing regardless of the result.

Tired and fatigued from the first goal kick

ShamoBuc · 31-08-2022 10:32PM

One of the Newcastle bench clearly threw something - hard to see what it actually was- at the Liverpool bench at the end, he will surely get a fine.

thebaz · 31-08-2022 10:35PM

That City bench , nevermind Haaland, but Alvarez is some player to bring on - when I look at our strike force, a world apart.

What's the deal this season, it seems worse than its ever been and I though this was the year it was to be addressed...Newcastle basically lay down for the entire 2nd half, it's toxic to watch.

They absolutely need to sort the rules out to have the clock stopped when the ball isn't play. Imagine how much better football would be to watch without that unnecessary time wasting. Obviously it makes sense for teams to do it in scenarios, so the only way around it is to take away the possibility. I don't like Liverpool much, but even I was cheering for them to get the winner after that. If they could take Gerrard back in some capacity I'd like them even more, mind you.

Dr. Bre · 31-08-2022 10:41PM

Why can’t referees just stop the time when ball not in play . I’d say about 30 mins in a 45 min half actually has the ball in play .

i don’t blame Newcastle for doing it as the rules rewards time wasting

Fitz* · 31-08-2022 10:44PM

I think it's pretty universal on the thoughts on Newcastle's timewasting tonight. Yes, it is a part of the game to some degree, but this was a few levels above normal.

Maybe the late winner might make others teams think twice about it. Unfortunately, probably not.

Ya I don't understand why they cant just stop the clock. There was a match last night where the ball was in play for 40 seconds of the 5 minutes added on!! That's is disgraceful....Funny thing is if Newcastle didn't act the bollix they would have gotten a result there, they had Liverpool at arms length and the stadium was quite but their player behaviour got the Anfield fans backs up and the Liverpool players reacted to them. As for Gerard, I don't think there's anyone in Anfield waiting with open arms 😕

He could probably get a game in midfield for us this weather. Henderson injured now aswell.

SuperTortoise · 31-08-2022 11:07PM

It does'nt just stop with timewasting though, stopping the momentum is as much a factor as wasting time

Giblet · 31-08-2022 11:58PM

Haaland the signing of the century it seems.

wanderer100 · 01-09-2022 12:16AM

9 PL goals for Haaland already and we're only a month into the season

At this rate, he could very well break the record for most premier league goals in a season (34)

Bluebb993 · 01-09-2022 12:55AM

As a city fan seen Liverpool score last minute is horrible but knowing Newcastle were trying to time waste from first minute is bitter sweet. Hate that

Quazzie · 01-09-2022 04:30AM

The only solution to time wasting in time added on is that the rule changes to, that if the ref adds 5 minutes, then that's 5 minutes of ball in play. This would at least stop all time wasting in time added on. The ref adding 8-10 minutes on would stop time wasting in normal time, or at the very least discourage it heavily

Widdensushi · 01-09-2022 06:14AM

It needs to be addressed with cards, plenty of them retrospectively also, it's ruining the game from a spectators point of view, if I wanted to watch bad acting I could watch fair City or similar. Honestly pope should get a three match ban for that display, and take his medication before the game or get subbed if he is that ill,that was at nil all I think, he did more harm to the game than any violent contact.

My tv was broken so I couldn’t see it live. I was listening to it though and seemed like like Joelinton was taking the p*ss. My Liverpool mates were texting each time he went down and it stopped at 7 yet he played the 90.

Game needs a stop/start clock!

Princess Consuela Bananahammock · 01-09-2022 07:36AM

Neutrals siding.with Liverpool...?! Jesus, Newcastle must have been really taking the piss last night...

Everton next - and they were the pioneers last year, so don't expect anything to change. That said, Ricarlison was the main culprit and he's obviously moved on.

01-09-2022 07:50AM

Newcastle got what they deserved. No sympathy for them.

Howe will be gone next season too imo.

SlickRic · 01-09-2022 08:18AM

Impressed with the objectivity in here over the time wasting.

Newcastle got what they deserved.

Let's be honest, in normal circumstances, everyone wanted Liverpool to falter again. But the nonsense turned actual football fans against them mid game.

Says it all.

Everton and Newcastle the worst offenders, against Liverpool at least in recent times. Both have English managers and English goalkeepers. These ’tactics’ are usually attributed to foreigners.

Haaland is on another planet right now. If he stays fit he’s going to break all sorts of records. What a player.

fyfe79 · 01-09-2022 08:39AM

There was a passage of play in the City game, when I think they were 2-0 up, Forest had possession. Haaland sprinted about 30 yards to close down their player, dispossessed him, laid it off and sprinted back up towards goal. It was literally the first time ever I've watched a player and thought it looked like an adult playing against kids. It was unreal. He's some beast.
