I think you’re getting your centre halves mixed up

Hause was excellent today.

Haha, thanks mate. Yeah... Hause was very good, even if people didn't like his passing, but I didn't mind so much since he defended so well.

[Keener window-cleaner]

He is very good in the air and can pick out a pass, but I think he is a liability, he is lazy and passive in defence. I don't know how many time I see Mings come flying in throwing himself about while Hause is trudging in the background. Terry needs to have a couple of one to ones with him and get him switched on all the time and to do the basics in defending. If he learns that he can be one hell of a defender.

1st rule as a defender, defend.

Stones is good on the ball, but a shit defender, Southgate was better on the ball than Macca and Ugo, but they were both superior defenders.

Ehh, yes, defenders should be able to defend. But what’s the point in winning the ball back just to pass it straight to the opposition? If he can’t find a man, hoof it. He needs to accept his limitations. Leicester were getting chances directly from his poor distribution as we were not yet in shape and one of them was a Vardy 1:1. 
 

Also, is Stones actually bad defensively? Yes, he makes far too many mistakes because he thinks he’s better on the ball than he is - but I don’t actually think he’s a bad defender. He gets his criticism (and rightly so) for his stupid blunders in possession. His defending at the WC and last season for City was actually pretty good.

Been observing his whoscored rating for a few games now, its always been higher than what I'd expect it to be based on the reaction in this thread after games. Is it possible this guy is somewhat underrated? Like for example, they put him as our best defender this game even though I think most including myself would've said Mings was.

On that note, been observing the same thing for Guilbert and Mcginn too(before he got injured).

Seems to be doing well.

Honestly I think for both hause and konsa a back 3 suits them, they are both a little inexperienced but the back 3 alongside mings gives them a little more flexibility and cover, meaning they aren't under such pressure as if it's just two centre backs.

They definitely suit 3 at the back.

It's scary how casual he is at times.

Was watching the game on Bein 2 with Arabic commentary, they pronounce his name as Kourtney Hoe-si lol

Another game they pronounced Hourihane as Hu-ri-hanni

More players need to do that imo. Just laugh off shit like this. Gets into their head and might even cause them to get carded.

Proper defender, 21, future England international for me.

Suits him playing in a 3, and TM is perfect alongside him, because he does lose concentration at times, but I really like and Konsa.

He's 24, and I can guarantee you he'll never get near an England squad. Won some good headers today, but a very limited footballer.

12 clearances 2 more than Mings 1 tackle vs 0 Whoscored ratings are pure stats based

Sometimes you need limited footballers in your team though

Hause might be better on the ball if Taylor was not hos out ball. 

Yes Stonea is a defender wouldnt get in our backline, so dire that a League 2 striker has been taking the piss out of him and then scored vs him

Spot on. He may never be a regular starter (although he could be) when all of our players are fit but he is great to have in reserve or on the bench. We are only in the PL because of him. When he came on for Mings in the play off final we were under intense pressure, we were rocking and this kid headed everything that moved. Love him

[sir_gary_cahill]

£3m is nothing in today’s market, he’s so good in the air, the back 3 suits him and the team so well I think

[Delphinho123]

I really like him. I think he’s one of our more underrated players. He’s not as bad on the ball as some make out and defensively, he’s every bit as good as Konsa.

He has a fantastic attitude as well. He wasn’t even making the squad earlier in the season and he has come in and made that position his own. 

If he can continue high levels of concentration throughout the game, he will be fine. Ok, he may never play for England but that doesn’t mean he’s not good enough for us. 

Keep going Kortney.

[Tom13]

Has a bit of the Carlos Sanchez about him, looks good on the ball, I know he can be good on the ball, but makes stupid mistakes. Think it's concentration with Hause more than anything. Cuts these out and we've got a player.

Love how Mings always goes in for the defuse - even a relatively big lad like Soyuncu/Maniac Cop star Robert Zdar gets ragdolled away

Hate that square-jawed fecker, complete overreaction which was uncalled for.

Hause did well against them but his distribution was quite poor in the first half and gave the ball away numerous times. Second-half he chose simpler passes.
