One more of them and Andersson won't be available for Thursday.

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'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.

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.
Someone was saying that to me last night, never occurred to me but makes sense.

Palace seem to be one of those annoying teams who are basically toilet but still hard to beat, not looking forward to Thursday!

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.

That should be a red card.

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 injuries
