I just wish he'd pull fewer cards. Is that even possible for him to do that and still be as effective?

I think so because about two thirds of his cards don't benefit us and you can see that he cannot get the ball so it is just a question of what colour card he gets. If he can do more hassling opponents and less jumping in then he will be a better player for us. Even allowing for his suspensions, he is probably the best midfield player in the division.
