Pau Torres

[Villafirst]

Sound like Pau is a doubt for Friday night according to UE.  Hopefully only a 'small' injury.....

[Villafirst]

What injury did Pau get.....apparently he hobbled off? He's a key player in this set-up. If he's out on Friday, who comes in? Lenglet is left-footed or does UE pair Konsa and Carlos - they are both right-footed which could upset the balance.

If Lenglet is part of the plans for the rest of the season, this is the kind of game where he needs to play

[AV84]

I hope Lenglet gets a run out in the league so he can get a medal at the end of the season with everyone else.

In all seriousness though, I can understand bringing him in for the European squad and only using him there during the group stages, but we don't play European games again until March, and even if he's going to be recalled in January, he's here now. We might as well use him.

Is he on our premier league squad?

He was on the bench yesterday, wasn't he?

Carlos played most of his time at Sevilla on the left side of defence. There was quite a bit of talk when he signed that he would be taking Mings' place rathe than Konsa's.

He took a nasty tackle from one of those fuckers a few minutes before he went off. Let's hope he's fit and ready because he really is a positive outlet for the way we play.

He has the most progressive yards in the Premier League so far this season.

That one where he took a second too long on the ball and the forward slip in to try and nick the ball? It looks like he half kicked the ground and/or the other lad's leg, so could be from that I guess?  He didn't go off immediately, so fingers crossed it's nothing too serious.

Yep, but I'm blaming them for it.

My prediction is if he stays for a few seasons he’s going to become a Villa Legend

[SamTheMouse]

Mings is going to have his work cut out getting back into the team when he recovers.

Longlet was with the very early departees from Mostar on Thursday and looked really pissed off.
Then yesterday somebody mentioned that if he plays another game for us we have to pay an extra bonus loan payment...and that he is definitely off in January.
Not saying any of this is true, and I can't imagine for one second that if Emery wants him to play on Friday, then any bonus fee etc simply wouldn't be an issue...

IMHO, I think he's been very classy when he's played, except for the first half in Warsaw!

I did wonder when he didn't play there if he was being kept for the Brentford game. I was a bit surprised to see Torres start given he hasn't played a lot of the Conference games, and he's played nearly all of the league games.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Lenglet is a possible option to fill in for Kamara over the next three games. I'm sure I read somewhere he can also play in midfield. Looking at his very impressive CV he's been no where near the level you'd expect from his experience. I also discovered he's French. All this time I was convinced he was Spanish not that I've really given him a second thought.
