In spite of your obvious personal bias I don’t think there’s anything that suggests Kamara at centre back makes the defence water tight.

I’d probably go with Mings and Torres. I know they’d both left footed, but they’re both experienced at centre-half and are proficient enough on the ball to make it work + Kamara in front would bring some ballast.

Emery will sort it . Shame Konsa is out as it creates an imbalance . (squad depth issue) or does he trust Bogarde ??

Why on Earth would you weaken the midfield to play Kamara out of position?

I presume its because Konsa is out. It's not as if he hasn't done it before.

Rather than play a centre half like Pau?

How many times have either Torres or Mings played RCB for us?

Yep.  Would say it's pretty much nailed on that Kamara will start at CB.  Not necessarily my choice, but think that is the way we'll go.
