This is what I was thinking. Would rather have him available but I don't think this is the end of the world. He desperately needs a rest anyway.

AndyM3000 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Can't really blame him, he's been playing CM on his own for weeks, last minutes of a frantic game where he just stuck a leg out trying to get a flick on the ball and has no idea the player is there. Harsh yellow and he only made 2 fouls, especially when you see some of the ridiculous tackles that go unpunished, it's incredibly soft. He's looked tired, Arsenal game is another free hit for me, at least he will get some rest for the run in but we are in big trouble with a CM of Tielemans and McGinn.

M_Afro Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Doug has been fairly poor for weeks and he desperately needs a rest. Hopefully this will do him good and he can get back to his early season levels for the rest of the season. His intelligence really is his Achilles heel though. He is daft as a brush at times. He really is!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maltesemike Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 He seems exhausted and has been out of form for weeks. Maybe the rest does him good in the end. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessing in disguise, we need a player of his quality for every game but he's played a lot of minutes, we need him fresh for what hopefully will be another 5 European games and 4 league games to end the season strong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah needs the rest, I doubt he would be the game changer against Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) He hasn’t been great since Kamara got injured. He's also gone back to messing about on the ball too much, he infuriated me today along with most of the team to be fair. He should be fined as much as a player can be for the booking. I said the same about McGinn but this is even more stupid imo. Edited April 6 by WHY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cards reset after today’s game. He can rest after the end of the season. He’s more stupid than McGinn, hope he gets the maximum fine he can get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlobalVillan Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 We are destined to not have our main midfielders on the pitch together it seems. Kamara, McGinn and now this. Forced squad rotation for the run in mught not be a bad thing in the end I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 6 Moderator Share Posted April 6 My view was from behind the Brentford player, should it have been a booking? I think when you're desperately chasing a win in the dying seconds of a game, you can understand a player overreaching or going for something they shouldn't, but having got through 97 minutes, it's gutting to now have to miss him for a couple of games.

andym Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Annoying, especially when Brentford players had been getting away with worse all game. Should have had Ajer on the back of his shirt, then he'd be fine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't miss him because they will beat us with or without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Ref was so so bad. It probably was a yellow but Brentford players had been flying in and diving throughout. **** all given. Doug in general has been coasting for ages. You can see it early in games when he's not bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Was it true that if he had got a second straight after it would only be a one match ban? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn’t want to annoy his future employers and teammates by having a stormer against them now would he He will now be able to hammer out the finer details with Edu in the warmth of a private box and then spend time shopping and house hunting with Alisha until the suspension is over.
