Should we allow Sadiki and Xhaka to kop a ban ...

... for the Liverpool game?

"RLB has been handed a boost after Granit Xhaka and Noah Sadiki avoided yellow cards in the 2-0 victory against Wolves. The pair remain just two cautions away from a one-match suspension under PL rules. Any player who receives five yellow cards in their first 19 league matches is automatically banned for one game."

Personally I'd allow them to take a ban for the Liverpool away game.

 

5 fixtures to play before Liverpool away. Xhaka will be booked again well before then imo.

 

Nope, as mad as it sounds I don't see any reason we shouldn't be aiming to go there and get something. They're in horrid form, lost 4 on the bounce, and are only 1 point ahead of us. I'd rather we have our best players available for the biggest games, if they have to miss a game then hopefully it's an easy one like Newcasle or something... .

Besides, they might make it all the way to 19 without racking up 5 yellows...

 

My worry is that they're booked at Liverpool which would mean they'd be risking a ban during the Man City ...

... I'd rather they picked up a card against Bournemouth then a second at Liverpool.

I'd rather we have our best players available for the 'easier' games

 

It’s inevitable they’ll eventually be banned, as long as it’s not for the Mags game.

 

That's my point, we can virtually guarantee that doesn't happen.

 

Absolutely, I believe it’ll be well before the Liverpool game anyway

 

They'd need to be booked twice, not once.

They've picked up three in eight games ...

... they have seven games to pick up two more cautions.

That's virtually on course for the Newcastle game.

 

Tbf I’d misread, thought they had 4 now for some reason. Wouldn’t mind their 5th coming in the Mags fixture.

 

That would be a disaster if we had Xhaka on a yellow during that game.

 

90th minute after clattering Bruno would do the job.

 

And the mags game

 

Hoping to get over for the Arsenal game, so hope he avoids 2 in the next 2 matches.
