He’s so frustrating giving away free kicks in silly areas. Happened twice in fairly quick succession last night - one for a booking for him, then one for a goal.

Happens regularly enough (I suppose this is why he has as many bookings as he does!) and, while there’s always room for a cynical foul, he needs to be a bit smarter with them IMO. 

Yes, has always been a bit guilty of that. Happens less when he plays with Kamara though because he's just do darn good at sweeping up.

Now that McGinn is back will Unai rest him given he's one yellow away from a 2 match ban and the bookings will be reset after the game?

Why rest him, you are then imposing your own ban?

If you rest him you miss an important must win game. You play him and he gets booked, he misses an important must win game and a game we would probably rest him anyway. Just play him.

He was in a similar situation last season I think and managed the disciplinary tightrope very well. Just needs to avoid anything silly. 

He was in one earlier this season, stayed on four yellows for eight games earlier this season then Saka dived and the ref pulled a yellow.

Hopefully if he does get a booking he does what Fabian Delph did when he got to 10 bookings, he got another yellow late on in the same game. He got a red that meant he only missed one game instead of 2.

Is that how it works? Good shout if so (if winning at 90+ minutes!)

10th card, suspended now. Meanwhile Bruno Guimares avoids his 10th card for a 10th straight game. FML

Could have done without him playing 97 minutes. Not surprising to pick up a yellow given the nature of the last 25 minutes but so, so frustrating.

Pretty much sums up our selection issues in 2024 that he gets booked in the final minute of the final game before the 10th yellow amnesty.  

Would've probably just subbed him when we made the triple chance and have McGinn and Tielemans sweeping up infront of the back 4.

He's out for 2 games now. He must have a trip booked. Yellow cards would have been scrubbed after today. He misses two games because he couldn't keep ut together for another minute.
