Title: Best Centre back pair (while Mings is injured)
Post by: Footy-Vill on December 12, 2019, 11:53:46 AM
Decide and vote who you think is the best central defensive pair ,  as Tyrone Mings is to miss several games.

At this moment it's reported it's at least the 3 matches  against Sheff U, Liverpool EFL Cup and Southampton. Maybe  Norwich and Watford.

Engels and Konsa for me.

Hause and Engels for me. Hause is a better centre-half than Konsa from what I've seen and he's naturally left-sided. Think he's faster than Konsa too and Engels lacks pace.

Exactly this.

When I first saw the thread title at first glance I overlooked the bit in brackets and I thought it was a nostalgic one. I was going to go for Evans & McNaught or McGrath & Teale. If only.

I think 3 at the back is the best option without Mings.
Konsa Engels Hause
We're letting in far too many shots so we need to find a way to tighten up without going full Bruceball

Hause and Engels for me too.

Konsa has been found wanting on a few crosses, particularly against Liverpool.  Hause is naturally left sided and deserves his chance.

Yep

Engels and Hause.  Balance, height.

Same. That looks like a proper centre back pairing to me. Appreciate konsa and mings are better footballers but both of them make me shit bricks at least three times a game.

Can't we play all three? Konsa, Hause and Engels.

I like Chester a lot but feel that his time has come and gone.
Title: Re: Best Centre back pair (while Mings is injured)
Post by: Legion on December 12, 2019, 08:08:45 PM
If it is just two centre-backs then Engels and Konsa with Hause on the bench.
Title: Re: Best Centre back pair (while Mings is injured)
Post by: bodkins14 on December 12, 2019, 09:08:12 PM
I think all 3, different set-up and we do have the full backs to play this way
Title: Re: Best Centre back pair (while Mings is injured)
Post by: themossman on December 12, 2019, 09:20:34 PM
Agree with that too. We definitely have the players to do 3 CBs.

Post by: tomd2103 on December 12, 2019, 10:10:13 PM
Hause would be the natural replacement for Mings, but he has hardly played.  Therefore think it will be Engels and Konsa with Hause on the bench.

The best balanced pairing is Engels-Hause; A right foot and left foot combination is the obvious choice. Engels & Konsa are both right footed.

Post by: Pete3206 on December 13, 2019, 08:07:42 AM
Engles, Konsa in middle and Hause at left back for me

Engels and Hause for me, with Chester not far behind. Konsa still has much to learn for me and I'm not convinced he's a starting CB just at the moment.

If Chester is fit and can actually play, he'd be in there for me. For experience. We need someone who's been around the block a bit. It's a big IF sadly. I think if his legs could be trusted to play, he'd have been back in the side by now.

I thought Hause did OK yesterday.

I would play Hause at left back, more height in defence and from corners in attack.

I thought Hause did OK yesterday. 
I thought both CB played well: good to see us winning more aerial duels. However, Hause got pulled all over the place for both goals.

I'd say the second one was mainly down to Targett getting done by that back heel.

Tired badly late on though, understandable maybe. McBurnie came on and caused him problems.

Engels was excellent I thought.
