Player Discipline, Bookings and Suspension

[Footy-Vill]

He was unlikely to go the rest of the season without getting another yellow. Bloody inconvenient though.

It wouldn't have mattered after todays game. This was the cut off point for ten yellows leading to a suspension

Brain farts from our two key (or pretty much only) midfielders in recent games. Really idiotic stuff on both occasions.

I call it lack of discipline and reason been monitoring things here.

Luiz suspended for Arsenal and Bournemouth games if he's booked on Saturday.

Ref insight
Micheal Salisbury is ref.
He was ref for our 32nd game last season which was also against Brentford 1-1. He booked Douglas Luiz

He has Officiated 4 games of Villa
we have never lost with Salisbury as ref having won 3 drawn one.

In 3 out of those 4 matches he's booked Douglas Luiz.

It will be his first time officiating at Villa Park.

Footys Forecasting Foresight
Based on evidence
Aston Villa win the game. Or won't lose. And Douglas Luiz could be booked

Unfortunately foresight came true.
Trend occurrence.

Luiz's discipline and fouls would be flagged by now as he receives an iPad with instructions, data, and footage to improve his performance. Analysts and coaching staff, and especially Emery's instruction to detail of player would not have escaped them so it's purely down to the individual player , in this case Luiz, for the maturity, game intelligence, and emotional control.

Emery has said on Douglas Luiz. "He will face Lille in two matches. He'll rest against Arsenal and Bournemouth. Maintaining emotional control is critical"

That is the primary takeaway from Douglas Luiz's ten yellow cards and two match suspension, as he has previously been told and shown his fouls he's conceding after every game and it's been numerous times this season. Hopefully, this is a strong warning that his discipline needs to improve and his emotion in control.

[Footy-Vill]

Discipline is key for all our players this evening. I don't want the needles fouls.
Leave the fouling and dissent to Palmer, Jackson,Caicedo, Gallagher and their mob.

[Footy-Vill]

Douglas Luiz can't help himself can he !
Another Yellow card just after half time
Not clever !

[Footy-Vill]

This second half all sorts of discipline lost.
Now Pau Torres booked giving away a silly foul in dangerous area

Far too complacent

Bailey booked and checked for Red card which it no way was a sending off.

[Footy-Vill]

Poor son missing the blatant foul on Carlos and giving a goal was very incompetent.
At the time I was crying foul! And rightfully disallowed.
Ref needs to be better
