Nah, that's probably good news.  Rest him up, don't play him in unnecessary games.  He has 10 days to get ready.

He was lying on the ground looking like he had been shot on Saturday towards the end.

Most of which are being assessed and aren't ruled out yet.

Delighted with the win but man torres was so bad last night. That pass second half at 2-2 we were so lucky they missed that chanceas it could have been a different  score today.

Mings has to start for me Saturday vs forest

It was his mistake of the night - otherwise he was OK. But the trouble is the same can be said of the other two. As things stand we have one in-form centreback.

If I remember correctly, Pau was almost on the touchline with two players on him, and Carlos was still on the right-side of the box instead of coming across to offer the option to his partner. Then Torres made the awful mistake of trying to play it to him rather then to Emi who was slightly closer or just out of play. But as you mention, apart from that did he make any other mistake?

Yes, he got a little isolated - good pressing from the opposition but poor support from his colleagues.

You genuinely  believe both are in form? Torres especially?

There's a big chunk of empty space between "in form" and "so out of form it's unbelievable".

They're both in that space.

Yep, that's it exactly.

They aren't dreadful, at all, I think Emery is a manager who plays percentages, takes risks when the stats indicate it's in our favour (so many of our goals come from playing out from the back) but not when it isn't (see the goalie going up for corners as being one where it isn't).

Torres allows us to play out, in this modern style, way better than most defenders out there.

Pau’s performance mirrored that of the team. An excellent game overall.
