The English Premier League is a fast-paced league with plenty of players moving up and down the pitch super fast. There is no time to do well on the ball as things move rapidly.

The players have great physicality as well on top of this fast-paced and superfluid movement. They are players who know that to survive 90 minutes in the Premier League, you not only need super speed but also super stamina.

Because of the fast-paced and physical nature of the league, there are plenty of tackles which fly around. No player holds back from flying into a crunching challenge.

Especially when teams play big oppositions like Liverpool, who move the ball really quickly, there is hardly any time for a player to think before tackling. They simply go all-in and hence that leaves a lot of late challenges, or risky tackles.

Naturally, the laws have been made very strict to protect players from getting into these rough tackles. Players feel the heat of the referee with plenty of warnings who do not really think twice before brandishing the yellow card.

Now let us take a look at the stats from the 2021-22 season for Liverpool in terms of the discipline of getting yellow cards:

In total Liverpool, players received 50 yellow cards throughout the season, a brilliant record in the Premier League given that they played 38 matches, and hence averaged at just over one yellow card per match. Liverpool received 25 of those cards away from Anfield while the remaining 25 came matches at their home matches.

most carded Liverpool player – yellow

Player	Yellow Card
Fabinho	7
Sadio Mané	5
Andrew Robertson	5
Roberto Firmino	3
Jordan Henderson	3
Naby Keïta	3
Diogo Jota	3
Konstantinos Tsimikas	3
Virgil van Dijk	3
Thiago	2
Trent Alexander-Arnold	2
Joseph Gomez	2
Ibrahima Konaté	2
Joel Matip	2
James Milner	2
Takumi Minamino	1
Tyler Morton	1
Mohamed Salah	1

To think that someone like Mo Salah who played the majority of all matches, 3924 minutes to be exact and received only one yellow card throughout and got dribbled past zero times, shows the quality of the player in this fast-paced and physical league.

Moving on the 2020-21 season, we will see that the stats are a little different from they were in the recently concluded season. There could be multiple factors affecting this result but first let us take a look at the stats for the season.

This shows how much less disciplined Liverpool were last season. They received 40 yellow cards, 10 less than the recently concluded season.

The situation is even more grave if we analyse it a little better. Liverpool better considerable improved midway through the 2020-21 season once Virgil Van Dijk entered the team.
Liverpool were looking to finish out of the top four but they improved in the second half of the season to earn a ticket for Champions League.

Five Liverpool players with most yellow cards in Premier League – most carded Liverpool player:

Player	Yellow Cards
Jamie Carragher	70
Emile Heskey	62
Steven Gerrard	61
James Milner	61
Joe Cole	54

These five players top Liverpool’s chart of most number of times to be yellow carded. Although James Milner, Joe Cole and Emile Heskey did not play their entire career at Liverpool, that is not being taken into consideration since at one point at least they did play for the Reds.

Whereas for Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher, the two players are both Liverpool legends.

Jame Carragher was a defender by trait and hence for him to be the Liverpool player who has the most number of yellow cards for the club does make sense, since all his playing career he has been at Liverpool.

Carragher was an adaptable defender who primarily wanted to play at centre back but could also fulfil the role of playing as a right-back depending on his team’s needs.

As for Stevie G, the less we say, the better it is. He was our captain and a true leader of the club. A dynamic midfielder who could everything with the ball from central midfield, he loved to roll the ball over and take a shot, which more often than not ended up in goal.

He was also good with defending and most of his yellow cards in him tried to protect his team from being exposed at the back. A true club legend and loyalist, if there ever was one.
