mikeyp102 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 He’s so good on the ball. One stage in the first half, went past one player, then got closed down by 2 others, he remained calm, turned all 3 and then played a pass. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Could Pau play CDM when Tyrone returns. In certain tough games, him and Kamara, could be formidable....with Dougie playing further up. just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in that position he loses the time on the ball that makes him so effective, he also takes the ball facing his own goal a lot more which means he loses the ability to scan the whole pitch with his vision, no doubt he could plug a hole there but don't think it's worth what you lose for the long term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pau is an absolutely integral part of our back line and how we play - why on Earth would we move him into a position he's never played before?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings will be a squad player. He's in his 30s, has had a serious injury and played zero part in our best season for a long, long time. I just can't see him coming back and being first choice.

ejs1111 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Mings and Carlos would be the rotational pair of central CBs when Konsa is deployed as a RB and we effectively are playing with 3 CBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll take being 4th in the league and having the ability to build play in the way we do over a marginal improvement on defending set prices.

I love him but when we’re already weakened by the absence of Kamara, Tielemans and Martinez, why would he weaken us futher? He could have rotated when one of Youri or Emi were back at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkiller1981 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Massive miss yesterday. Lenglet was all over the place and playing him and Olsen in the same game is a massive no. Hopefully pau plays Sunday and Thursday because he was the calm head we needed at the back today 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Unai will learn but he has to play Pau in the next 2 games (Brighton and Olympiakos away) which are huge for our season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
