[PaulWinch again]

He is one where we need to be getting Champions League football. His quality will be noticed.

What a guy!

Why has Ramsey got holes in his socks? That Castore quality on show again.

Next season should be fun watching Pau and Mings battle for the left centre back position and hopefully, Konsa becoming a dedicated right sided centre back.

With the greatest respect to Ty, Pau is the best centre back at the club and has to start.

Based on how Emery has us playing when attacking I'm not sure there's much competition there either. Mings will be the squad rotation option, which should still see him get plenty of game time.

His presence is absolutely vital to how we play.

I hope this summer we go out and find another similar CB.

The guy is class.

Love pau what a player. I know they are both left sided cbs but man id love to see pau and mings together as a cb partnership. What a handful they would be

Either a good luck ritual or he doesn't want his calves being as compressed. They don't look like socks either, seem to be leggings being as the white socks underneath are different lengths on different players.

If Pau stays for at least three or four seasons, he will be talked about depending on how long you supported Villa in the same group as Nichol, Evans, McGrath, Laursen and Melberg

In other words one of the best we’ve ever seen

Pau HAS to stay fit for the rest of the season.
If he does, we finish in the top 4, it’s as simple as that.

[Matt C]

Our whole way of playing is transformed with him in the team. Great to see him back.

As we've seen with Longlay and Pau today two left footed CB's can function as a partnership.

Plenty of successful teams have coped with two right footed centre halves in the past.

It might just be that the other qualities Pau and Mings possess can work well together when required. Mings is more comfortable coming out and cutting off opposition moves with a key header or bone-crunching tackle. Pau is better as the quarterback dictating from deep. Might complement each other well.
