It always feels like he has a monster 10-15 mins after a mistake. He gave away that free kick then spent the rest of the match just getting his body in between the ball and opposition. Basically killed the game.

As boring as it is I think giving up that free kick isn't necessarily a bad thing. Always takes two minutes to set up everything and freekick goals are just so rare nowadays with the free jumping walls and massive Nick Pope in goal. Honestly rather give them that freekick than getting constant balls played into the box for those two minutes. 

 

Wouldn't be surprised if soon some team's analytics experts actually started to suggest hacking down people around the box in these situations.

It's mad people were on his back a bit this time last year on here due to him having the audacity of having a few 6-7 out of 10 performances. :memelol:

Since his 9th booking last season, he’s been a different man temperament wise.

That's what I was going to mention also, when it got down to it he was able to go ten games or whatever without a yellow. I think the responsibility of captaincy will drive him to act more rationally if anything.
