Pau Torres

[PaulWinch again]

Hopefully it’s a very brief absence, because I think he’s absolutely critical to our style of play.

[Bad English]

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

And that is what we want to see.

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.

'Can' playing there and actually playing there are two different things.  I 'can' put a shelf up but my Mrs wouldn't want me doing it often.  Especially if we could go top of the shelf league that night.

Chambers spent an entire season playing in midfield for Fulham in the Premier League.  I don't want him replacing Bouba either.  If we're going for a like for like replacement, then it has to be Donk, with Lenglet as a possible replacement for Pau if he's not fit in time.  Though if he's not fit enough I think it more likely it'll be Konsa/Carlos with Cash back at RB.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see McGinn drop back a bit deeper and if fit Tielemans coming in.

Hopefully not on crutches!

Demonstrates how vital he is - back asap please.

100% what I was about to post

Both him & Kamara.

Both are key to us being able to play at a faster pace.

Making those beautifcul diagonal cross-field passes like Torres or making forward runs & simple passes from the CDM position is what makes players like Torres & Kamara elite level players.

[PhilVill]

To start Saturday, hopefully alongside Konsa but with Lenglet if needs be. I'm assuming he was just short of starting last night and that Emery wasn't prepared to risk him for the second half shit show.

[dcdavecollett]

A shoe-in for Burnley.

[eamonn]

A long lay-off for Lenglet. And Carlos too if he keeps playing like he did at Old Trafford.

He was abysmal.

[Axl Rose]

And Carlos too if he keeps playing like he did at Old Trafford.

He was abysmal.

He had been much improved of late, though has a tendency to be far too calm (careless) when moving the ball out of defence.

Did it against Bournemouth, and the other night.

I think I'm undecided on him.
