So...over twice as likely to get a yellow card for a foul as any other transgression.
No penalties tonight. No....
Edit can't be bothered.
In many ways gives faith to fact this team of officials are at least taking each game as it's merits than having some sort of trend to award penalties.
So...over twice as likely to get a yellow card for a foul as any other transgression.
Yes 4 preventable yellow cards would see him at a reasonable 5.
Fouls are part and parcel of the game the other antics are discipline issues.
Some fouls are emotional and temperamental reasons and would be in same category as other preventable bookings.
It's individual players choice to commit these on field crimes.
We all know the laws of the game.
Our overall disciplinary record isn't great this season although we have played a game or two than most - apologies as it doesn't align fully.

So the Fair-Play route to Europe can be ruled-out then.
Am I right in thinking that a booking for Douglas Luiz tomorrow means that we lose him for 2 games? With Jacob Ramsey out, we really can't afford that.

Yes. No tactical fouls from Doug tomorrow.
I would have him on the bench and go with Rogers-Tielemans-McGinn-Bailey. He can come off the bench if he's needed but the risk of losing him for the Arsenal and Bournemouth games when we have a lot of games coming up is too high.
I thought that initially, but what's the point of him missing a crucial game just in the hope he doesn't get a booking and miss 2? I'd rather maximise our chance of taking the 3 points now.
Emery and Frank were both booked in Brentford v Villa and there were 10 yellow cards and 2 reds. No Premier League game has produced more booking points this season.

Yes. No tactical fouls from Doug tomorrow.
Or dissent , or time wasting or unsporting behaviour

Unfortunately wasn't able to show his discipline and was his 10th yellow (6th card for a foul this season)
Arsenal and Bournemouth - suspended.
6 fouls
2 dissent
1 timewasting
1 unsporting behaviour
It does work against players who play the majority of minutes of an entire season.
