[Sam Dean] The ball was in play for less than 50% of tonight's match between Arsenal and Brentford. Total time: 105:01 Time in play: 49:26

That sounds like a fundamental issue that the league should be looking at. Shit product if it's mostly dramatic acting and not playing the fucking game.

The Brentford players were rolling more than the ball

Teams don't want to play football against us. Full stop.

Also, I'd love to have a source for this stat for every game.

That is not shocking at all... Tomiyasu got yellow carded for a throw in for just holding the ball. Some of the teams we verse are wasting up to 15 seconds at a time and nothing happens...

So much for cracking down on time wasting. More like a crack of shit.
