Does this mean Tyrone won’t be a regular starter or are we changing to a three?

Also if you take into account the RB tucks in and it could very well be Konsa some of the time, it’s almost like one of Torres or Mings will be in the middle of a back 3 and the other is the left centre back.

Has Emery had previous playing 343 or similar? Him, Mings and Konsa is a pretty decent three. Not sure the rest of the squad would suit it though.

Nah, I think we're worried about Carlos, we're going to need this Pau fella.

Welcome t’ Pau.

He plays it on the deck, ergo he's good.

I'm wondering if he's going for a 3 at the back too. With wing backs, Moreno and Cash(?), Kamara in front of the back 3, Mcginn and Luiz in front of him, leaving 2 up front. Who knows, happy days though, great signing.

I assume it's just for squad depth / flexibility - i.e. not playing the same formation every week.

Think it will become clearer - but at the moment, it feels like were just bring in quality and numbers.

Unai doesn't do back 3's, not to my knowledge anyway.

Hope this isn't the beginning of the end for Mings here, I love the bloke. But if he helps us win something then so be it.

He's not coming to sit on the bench, and if Emery doesn't play 3 CB's it's another interesting one to see what happens.

I'll be amazed if we start any game next season with 3 CB and wingbacks. We will play many games with an asymmetrical back 4 though and that might include Konsa or Chambers moving across to right back alongside 2 from Mings, Torres and Carlos.

Last season we played 41 games 38 league and 3 cup.
If we go all the way in Europe its 15 games, if we had a decent run in either or both domestic cups we would could have close to 60 games.

He's only just signed a new contract, so I hope not. But then again it could be Emery looking after the financial side of things and making sure we can get a decent price if he was to leave any time soon.

From that twitter link...

Mings and Konsa conceded 4 from open play in the last 14 games.

Pretty amazing stat tbh, either one of them will feel pretty hard done by to be dropped.
