Pau Torres

[dave shelley]

Simply put, Pau Torres is a footballer.

I mean, that is very simply put.

That was my intention Monty, I could labour on extolling his ability but why bother? I know what I'm seeing and thoroughly enjoying it.  I should have italicised the word footballer.

Enough blowing smoke up up his arse, has he posted his Paella pics today?

Torres is a brilliant footballing centre half, he is a joy to watch.

[Risso]

The only very minor blemish on an outstanding display on Saturday was 2 or 3 times in the second half, we were under the cosh a bit, and he tried little chipped clearances rather than putting his laces through it. They all ended up back with Fulham around our area, which meant the pressure stayed on a bit.

[Brend'Watkins]

He doesn't just breed confidence in his fellow defenders he instills it in our support.  He's unflappable and while he wasn't back to his empirical best he along with Watkins were our best players Saturday.

Lenglet is better than Carlos for me.

He is. He's more mobile and keeps it simple in the main.

I guess that's the thing about his job - sometimes those out-balls don't go to our guy. On the whole though, having him back, breaking the press with those crossfielders, we looked a different team.

[Risso]

It almost looked like he mis-kicked them, rather than trying anything fancy. But anyway, a very minor point, which I wouldn't want to distract from his overall display which was excellent.

Daniel Story called out Pau and was spot on on the Totally Football Show.

[Monty]

I will say that Torres and Lenglet must be our best centre-back pairing on the ball maybe ever? They'd both have been midfielders 25 years ago.

If you were down with the kids, you'd say he was a 'baller'. Thankfully, you're not.

Isn't being called-out a bad thing? Maybe his paella isn't up to scratch after all.

They'd have both been criticised for 'fannying about' as midfielders 25 years ago.

Try 2.5 years ago!

Well this was certainly very positive.

Pau Torres is just elegance personified on the ball. Doesn’t seem to feel any pressure and has total confidence in his own ability. You can get at him…if you can get at him. His positioning is very good to protect himself. Whenever I watch him I can’t believe we managed to sign him. And he’s only just turned 27. With his style of defending we could be watching him for years.
