“I completely understand that it is difficult when there are red cards like against Brighton or Man United, but both the red card against Nottingham Forest and the red card today are something we can avoid. And we have to avoid that.

“It’s a shame when it’s a red card like today, because it’s two yellow cards in seven minutes. I think we can avoid that.

“After the yellow card, I told him four or five times to calm down. But Liam is such a player that when he’s inside the pitch he’s probably playing a game for himself and he’s struggling to feel and hear his surroundings.”
