Hmm not sure about this. Duran and maatsen im happy with

But pau and konsa at rb not a fan.

I guess we have to be cautions with mings minutes.

Just hope this does not back fire spectacularly as we need a win here

Think he's managing minutes before the Leipzig game?

What's with Mings and Cash being dropped. - thought they did well  against Brentford.

Different back 4, risky. Also with the wind the ball could spend a lot of the time in the air, Mings might of been suited to that. We’ll see

So, having just got the defence back on track, Emery decides to change it completely? Let's hope it works.

I would think it has nothing to do with their performance, but needed for next week.

Aren't their attackers all about 5ft 6?

I dunno... We have only won one game in about 3 years and we need to carry that on against 'the likes of' Southampton.  Good to see Onana back involved.

I know we need to rotate the squad and what not but I made Watkins captain of my FPL team this week so this is really disappointing news. #EmeryOut

Given he's not in their squad, it's probably not worth playing Mings just to counter that non-existent threat is it?

The 3 centre halves have played together plenty, it's not like it's a brand new defence
