Pau Torres

Since Torres and Mings both returned at the start of March (the Club Brugge away match):

Mings PL 7 W 7 Conceded 3
Torres PL 5 W 2 L3 Conceded 10

With Mings starting we’ve won our last 8, are unbeaten in 11, and lost once in 18.

Calm down weirdos, it doesn’t mean I fancy him.

I do.

Me, you, Diego and Ty. Double date?

Ads and brontebilly can be a pair of homophobic dads like in the Harry Enfield show.

Imagine a ty and Olaf mellberg cb partnership  - even if they let in loads of goals we wouldn’t care because we would be too busy swooning

Really shocked Mings didn't start as in last few weeks he's kept Wood and Isak quiet

He kept Elanga (sort of) quiet while Wood sat at home.

Elanga is a winger so not for Mings to mark so to speak

He played more centrally when Forest played us. Because Wood was still injured and didn't play at all.

Which was the whole point of the post.

He didn't really though, he was wide most of the time . Either way Mings and the others largely dealt with him and we won the game.

He wasn't. He played the first half as a centre-forward and was then subbed at half-time when they scrapped their 5-4-1 that didn't work.

But it really doesn't matter. It was a rhetorical device to say that Wood didn't play. Nothing more than that.

I'd love it, but before I send any photos, I need to make it clear I was talking about Mings. It's Mings I fancy. Diego's fit, but I see you and him together, Percy.

Now that's cleared up, empty your PMs. The photos are to scale (zoom in).

Just paid for extra storage on my cloud.

If we start next season and Torres is anywhere near our backline then you might as well write the season off again . And the manager for that matter if his stubborn stance is real ? He got shot of Moreno , he needs to swallow his pride again and let Torres go .

We finished 4th last year with him in the team.

Ah yes Wood was injured still when we played them. I think Unai still put Mings in as he thought Awoniyi would start instead but he too was out. Mings was also due to start Forest away before he pulled out in the warm up ill.

Also started January away to Everton so there is clear evidence this season of him always starting when we're playing a more physical forward which makes him being overlooked yesterday all the more baffling and very costly to our chances.

Yeah some people conveniently forget that.

[VillaTim]

I'm hoping the penny has now finally dropped with Emery/Monchi .

[PaulWinch again]

That we finished 4th with him playing most games? Probably.

[VillaTim]

Ahh the 4th place trophy . Add it to the honors board .
He isn't good enough . Crap defender and zero leadership or organisation skills .

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah our best placed finish in decades, getting us into the Champions League means nothing. Started when we’ve beaten Man Citeh twice, Arsenal twice, Bayern, PSG etc. Won the Europa League for another club. But yeah can’t play at this level.

Every thread all the time, its boring

I think most villa fans agree - Pau and Ty are both great players.  Neither are perfect but have considerable strengths. 

Pau has been brilliant for us and played a big part in what we have achieved in the last 18 months.  Mings has over the last 6 odd years.   

We’re lucky to have them both - the frustration is Mings clearly was the right choice yesterday.  That’s doesn’t change anything before or after but it’s pointless having a squad if you don’t play them to there strengths
