I like Chester a lot but feel that his time has come and gone.

If it is just two centre-backs then Engels and Konsa with Hause on the bench.

I think all 3, different set-up and we do have the full backs to play this way

Agree with that too. We definitely have the players to do 3 CBs.

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.

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 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.
