Another left-sided centreback. It's got me thinking - does Emery view Konsa as first-choice, or at least co-first-choice, at right back? He does prefer one of the fullbacks to shift over in possession to make a three while the other one pushes up, and that latter role is very clearly earmarked for Digne or Moreno on the left in our system while Konsa is obviously a more natural fit for the former than Cash - who would himself be clear first choice for when we do the 3 starting centrebacks thing as we did vs. Burnley.Who knows. I honestly don't. Unai's obviously got something in mind and I bet it's very clever.

What I mean is, was Konsa out right perhaps always the plan once Pau (pow!) was up to speed?
Romano says its imminent.
