Aqueducts.And Stwicke him Vwery wroughly?
we;re one of the least booked teams in the league and have been for about a decade. even most fouls per booking we are usually top 3.Just watched some compilations and analysis of Wharton’s play last year and whilst he definitely looks a prospect, I did notice he likes to dive in quite a lot when defending.
I wonder if he’d be allowed to do that which such frequency in a sky blue shirt and, if not, how that would impact his effectiveness in the CDM role.
Rodri rarely does that—mostly because that isn’t how he defends, but also because he knows he has a 50/50 chance of a booking as soon as he leaves his feet.

He'll be fine and learn to use his positioning under pep
Up to and around his sending off Rodri was getting booked all the time. Then he never got another suspension. Not sure what changed ,referees or Rodri being more controlled.I wasn’t referring to team bookings, I was referring to bookings of our CDM.
And the useful metric would be fouls and bookings as a ratio of possession, not fouls per booking, as we normally dominate possession so should have far fewer fouls and bookings relative to teams that have less possession.
I think more the latter than the former.Up to and around his sending off Rodri was getting booked all the time. Then he never got another suspension. Not sure what changed ,referees or Rodri being more controlled.
He actually got booked 4 times in the 7 league games after the sending off, I remember thinking he was looking at a another suspensions but then cut them out just before the Christmas fixtures. Crazy that the 4 games he missed resulted in 4 losses - our only 3 in the league and exit in the Carabao cup. Just shows how much we need a capable replacement.Up to and around his sending off Rodri was getting booked all the time. Then he never got another suspension.

It is why I am not entirely convinced Wharton is the man for the job, as he looks far more prone to leaving his feet than Rodri.He actually got booked 4 times in the 7 league games after the sending off, I remember thinking he was looking at an another suspensions but then cut them out just before the Christmas fixtures.
