Move him to central defence? Jesus Christ.

When we sign Felix, let's move him to DOF.

I know, it's like marrying Lee Hyori and telling her she's only allowed to do the washing up.
I think she should also sing whilst doing that.

In game if we are limited for subs or if there is an injury crisis, he's an option there.

But it wouldn't be ideal. It solves one problem to give us an issue elsewhere.

We have been crying out for a player like this for many years. We haven't had a specialist there for at least 10 years  and, arguably, not since Boateng left! Now that we have that player we are hardly going to play him in the wrong position!

I don't think he'll be playing centre back any time soon, Footy.

Footy did call that Emi wouldn’t get straight back in (or words to that effect)
So watch this space 😂

He said Olsen would be number 1. Bit of a difference.

What I like is Kamara and/or Luiz dropping back deeper more often to collect the ball from our goalie/centre backs and progressing the move forward.
So much better than Mings/Konsa dithering on the ball before going sideways/backwards or hoofing.
What I've noticed since the WC break is that both Mings and Konsa are bringing the ball out more and passing better; as well as letting Kamara and Luiz drop back to receive.

Agree.  Haven’t seen the Ming’s square ball to Digne - who isn’t there - and go straight out of play.

The midfielders dropping back a little is helping there. There isn’t so much space between them & that allows a much simpler pass to be made. Good movement allows for good passing. It was always a principle of Wenger back in the day that the player on the ball always had people move around him so that there were always two simple passing options. I’m not saying Emery is Wenger, but the principle remains the same.

Kamara's the type of player where Sky, or whoever, put up stats of our record with him and without and there's a staggering difference.

A friend who's die hard Spursy was absolutely blown over with how good Kamara was  yesterday. He said Kamara bullied Bissouma out of the game.
And oh yes he thinks Spurs will sign him at the end of the season.

Yep, I can really see him being charmed to go to a club by a manager who clearly doesn't want to be there.

Same as the Liverpool feature.
Awareness, knows when to go quick or slow, balance, doesn't fall even when hit, tackles intelligently, prefect weight of pass..
Love it.
