His goal deserved it in all fairness. Cracking goal.

Havertz looked pretty rubbish today

Injury time - at The King Power this afternoon. First half 1 minute, second half 9 minutes. There were no injury hold ups, no VAR reviews, no obvious time wasting and 9 minutes were played. If this is the new take on this, we could be seeing 15-20 minutes in some matches.

See I think he will come good but if anyone questions £105 for rice you just need to look at the price of havertz tbh
13 mins came up on the board at Sunderland, and 14 mins was played. There had been a couple of injuries but it didn’t seem like 14 mins worth. And there were a few surprise bookings, one of which was a second yellow and seemed harsh.

Apparently this is going to be the norm,as time will be added on for free kicks,corners,subs……
So games will end up 100mins+ like in the WC.
I can’t help but feel their efforts to extend matches will end in more players getting cramp and fatigue based injuries. As much as they are trying to keep fans more entertained and curtail gamesmanship, players are trained on the notion that they’ll play around 55 - 60 minutes of actual football in a 90 minute game. It won’t be huge injuries with players breaking down but I reckon we see more little niggles as the season progresses. Interested to see if this does happen and how they react.

If they are not fit enough to play a 100 minute football match, their coaches/medical experts should be sacked.
What absolute garbage
Coping with 100-minute matches, a 'radical' change with major implications
Longer matches have been a feature of this World Cup. What are the implications for all involved?

Let these people know about their garbage.

What a load of tosh. They're humans, not machines.
Their performances will naturally drop over 100 minutes. When any athlete is fatigued, the risk of injuries increases massively.

In the Womens World Cup the refs are miked up and the crowd hear them when making VAR decisions. But all the referees do is to say "after VAR review the decision is penalty/no penalty/other". But there is absolutely no explanation as to the underlying reason behind the decision.
England have just had a penalty overturned. Decision was given for a barge in the box. Replays showed some grabbing that started outside the box but the England striker was pretty much free of the challenge before a clear barge from the Nigerian defender well inside the area. Ref gave the penalty immediately. VAR reviewed it and the ref overturned her decision and gave a drop ball. No explanation as to why the penalty was overturned....did they feel the contact started outside the box? did they think that the England player backed in to "aid" the barge? Did they think she went over too easily?
A trick is being missed here I think.

Given that footballers already suffer fatigue related injuries, then it is fairly logical that these types of injuries will increase if they play more game time.
No fault with the coaches. The players are often playing 2-3 games a week at elite level. They have to push themselves to the limit, because if they don't they may well come out second best and then will be accused of being lazy because they maybe didn't run full pelt at a critical moment in game and opposition scored.

The commentary being slightly ahead of the pictures is driving me nutso!
Thought it was a pen - to then give no foul seems odd. VAR is killing the game...for me...

According to Alex Scott it was “clever play” as the England player stopped and backed into the defender
I think some people have a notion that footballers play one or two games a week and nothing else happens during their week that could put strain on their body.

Footballers aren't running continually for 90 (or 100) minutes. They barely run for half that so any notion that they may be extra tired in the 10 added minutes is rubbish. They get plenty of rest during the week and big clubs have big enough squads and loads of substitutes so maybe managers should get a bit cleverer when using subs instead of leaving it to added time to try and waste a bit more time. The players also wear the tech to monitor their fatigue so the coaching staff should know when they get fatigued.

I think they also compare footballers to themselves, as they also used to play 2-3 games of football a week at amateur level, or with their mates. What they forget to do is take into account that when we play football, we can play well well below 100% effort and often get away with it. There is no pressure on us to be razor sharp and run, run and run some more, apart from by getting shouted at by some PE teacher coach.

So, are you saying fatigue related injuries simply do not exist as it stands???

Not how I saw it - she was bumped off the ball. Mind you the same player dived in the final minutes so it did slightly alter my view! How naive am I...
