Any update on Rogers?

Think he's back training so possibly 50/50 to start

The Mings v Torres debate is likely to go on forever, but lets not forget the fella on the other side who isn't exactly fault free.

Konsa has added a nasty habit into his play where he'll go down at the slightest touch, then wave his arms in the air demanding a foul/booking from the ref. Prior to this, he was like a brick wall on legs - Really needs to stamp that out of his game.

Yep, noticed he did it in pre-season and the ref didn't fall for it and the oppo scored. Konsa looked like an entitled lemming.

Hope we don't see much of Konsa at RB this season .

[London Villan]

Rogers will play - he is as important to Unai as is Torres.

He’s always been a highly fouled player because he does that thing where you draw the attacker in and then go down to win the free kick. Refs are getting tougher on soft free kicks and if you do it in Konsa’ position and don’t get the free kick then it gives away a huge opportunity for the opposition.

I prefer Pau.

You wouldn't say that in Brasil.

I don’t know, I saw some absolute beauts playing that beach football tennis thing on my honeymoon. Impressive guys.
