Pau Torres

[ChicagoLion]

Torres is getting stick because no one wanted him instead of Mings on Saturday, this is compounded by the fact that his mistake led to the first goal.
I think it is good to have 2 types of CB, even better if the manager used them appropriately.

I'm just glad it wasn't Pau that was caught smiling on the sidelines when we were 2-0 down on Saturday.

How many top 15 EPL teams would Torres be able to hold down a place in , the answer is not many .

He was a near ever-present in a top four Premier League team last season.

we still let in a lot of goals but were better at outscoring teams which papered over some of the cracks.

Cooper’s Injury was such a moron. Remember him?

We have the chance to finish on the same number of wins and 1 point more compared to last season. We would lose 1 game less.

Doubt we will score 22 in 4 games to match 23/24
and Mings run of games instead of Torres has improved the GA per game ratios .

And without wishing to point out the obvious - we out scored teams in no small part to building attacks from the back, through him.

I like Pau Torres and think he's done well for us on the whole, although I would say that he hasn't really been back up to speed since coming back from his injury (understandably so).

I don't think it is a case of not rating Pau for me, more that we are lacking a certain type of centre half back there and Pau could be our most sellable asset to make that happen.

Don’t forget 22/23 when we conceded less goals than Liverpool, despite the handicap of Gerrard for the first 11 games and as one poster told us, players who were not top 6 quality.

My favourite Pau moment is either his header against Spurs to start our comeback or the ball that split Bayern so cleanly that one half of the team had to get a new postcode.

Highlight of the season without question.

Edit: apart from the finish that followed it, obvs.

[Somniloquism]

He did a similar ball against PSG but Asensio couldn't slide it under Bananarama.

Clean sheet as well
