Gary Neville has delivered his verdict on the Premier League and EFL regulations after Arsenal scored in the 101st minute against Manchester City in the Community Shield
Gary Neville believes there will be “massive problems” with the new Premier League and EFL regulations – and has already backed them to change as soon as possible.
In an attempt to clamp down on time wasting, referees have been ordered to make more clock stoppages and be stricter with adding on time. The new law changes was prevalent in the Community Shield as Arsenal edged out Manchester City on penalties at Wembley.
Leandro Trossard found the net in the 101st minute after Cole Palmer had given City the lead. Meanwhile, all but two matches went beyond 100 minutes in the EFL. The second half of Stoke’s 4-1 Championship win over Rotherham did not kick off until 16:13 after two goals were scored during added-time of the first half.
However, Neville is certainly not a massive fan and agreed with Raphael Varane’s statement he issued on Twitter. Speaking on The Overlap, Neville said: “I thought Varane’s message was damning. It was a calm and calculated analysis of the situation. I watched Salford on Saturday and there was nine minutes added on.
