A monstrous boy. Thought he did a fine Mings impression today.

Still yet to see him a play a single game for us in which the commentator doesn't call him 'Costa' at some point.

To be fair half the posters on here do that!

How DC get on yesterday? It’s nice to see him playing a couple of games in the space of a few days.

He did alright, the whole back line were decent. He'll be a big asset if he stays fit.

Cool cheers. When I’ve seen him I’m really impressed by his physicality.

I've done it myself.

Looks like a very good player to me now he is finding his feet. Can see him and Torres making a fine partnership.

I know we've been concerned about the team's height and their ability to defend set-pieces against physical teams, especially without Mings, but it looks like Emery's answer to that is to play with 3 centre backs. Zaniolo looks like he could help with that as well.

I don't think that's quite right. I think he sees the need for Carlos to start because he's easily the best in the air of the 3 and compliments Torres well but he also clearly really likes having Konsa in the team so we've tried a couple of options to allow for all 3 but, importantly, it hasn't been going to a back 3 as so many want to suggest.

Thought he was really solid today, and certainly replaces some of the physicality we’ve lost with Mings. He’s got the potential to be a really imposing and valuable member of the squad as he gets up to speed.

I have a concern about his positioning in the high line though. Was watching this very closely, and he often seemed to be slightly deeper than the other three, and also at times started his run to follow an attacker earlier than the others. Our line is so highly tuned, we might lose this game of inches a few more times than we would with Mings in the line up.

Is there any news on today's injury?  I feel sorry for the lad.

Accidental decapitation, out forever.

Our shitty luck.
