Newcastle United are firing themselves to safety by keeping the ball ... (iNews)

Figures show games involving Eddie Howe's side have more stoppages than other teams in the Premier League relegation scrap.

At the other end of the scale are Aston Villa. The average time the ball has been in play this season during their games is 51 minutes and 26 seconds. If VAR is the way forward, should we accept that four to five minutes – around 6 per cent – of every game is lost to video referee decision-making, on top of all the other stoppages for goal kicks, throw-ins, corners, free-kicks? In the Fifa video game, matches last around six minutes per half; and when pros play, games tend to have scorelines familiar in real life. And Tarre, who has decades of experience at the sharp end of innovation in telecommunications and new technologies, can recall when people were sceptical about the growth of mobile phones. “For many fans, the first contact with football is actually through Fifa. That’s a video game experience. It raises this question: would football be better if matches were shortened, but the clock stopped when the ball was not in play? So Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea naturally sit in the top three, in that order, for the most football actually played during a match. Which is really the reason fans are watching, not the frequent breaks in play while ball boys fetch footballs and goalkeepers line up goal kicks. On average, how many minutes of the full 90 do you think the ball has been in play during your team’s matches this season? Fans who watched Sunday’s victory against Aston Villa saw the ball in play for only 43 minutes and six seconds of the entire 90. But even the ball-in-play time figures of the highest clubs are surprisingly low. In fact, statistics shared with i by The Analyst website show that Howe’s first game, a 3-3 draw with Brentford, had only 45min 20sec of ball-in-play time.

Joe Willock is starting to find form for Newcastle United (Geordie Boot Boys)

There were many top performers for Newcastle United in their 1-0 win over Aston Villa this past weekend. Kieran Trippier scored a cracking free-kick and big ...

With the excitement around Willock arriving on a permanent deal, it was a shame to see him struggle at first. Last season we saw him playing further forward for the Magpies, just off the striker. He finished the game with a 100% pass accuracy and made four tackles ( sofascore.com). In the 89th minute he was subbed off for new signing Bruno Guimaraes, Willock worked his socks off on Sunday. This led to him signing permanently – Sky Sports reported the fee at £25 million. Willock is certainly one of them. Goals from the likes of Jonjo Shelvey, Ryan Fraser and Trippier have got people’s attention.

Newcastle dealt blow after club confirm fractured foot for Kieran ... (The Guardian)

Kieran Tripper was injured in Newcastle's win against Aston Villa and scans have shown a fracture to the fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot.

The England full-back was substituted early in the second half against Villa having given Eddie Howe’s side the lead from a free-kick. “Tripps is a different level of quality that we probably haven’t had here for a long time,” Burn said. “Everyone at the club wishes Kieran a speedy recovery.”

While Dan Burn was Gary Neville's Newcastle United man of the match, the former Manchester United hero thinks this Magpies player was their biggest signing ...

They know the Premier League, they know their jobs. It sounds really basic but that’s what Newcastle need in this predicament, people who are reliable and Wood is reliable. It isn’t his job in this team - and I know he is a centre forward and people may think that’s a strange thing for me to say.

Newcastle United 1-0 Aston Villa: Kieran Trippier's free-kick proves ... (Daily Mail)

CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES' PARK: Newcastle won a third league game in a row for the first time in over three years as they triumphed 1-0 over Aston Villa ...

The title could well be applied to Mrs Howe and the family's three boys after this latest triumph. A nick off Emiliano Buendia helped in taking the ball beyond Emiliano Martinez, but it was a smart strike from a player who looks to be the smartest of signings. With the loss of that goal Villa faded and, come the end, Newcastle were worthy victors. It was too close to go over the wall - Villa also deployed a man denying a route beneath it - so Trippier went straight through it, and at pace, too. He saw red and turned the air blue after one corner from Douglas Luiz evaded all inside the area. There was a collective groan around St James' when VAR instructed Craig Pawson to downgrade his award of a Newcastle penalty to a free-kick.
