gwi1890 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I thought he was good in possession, everybody had an off day. Bounce back next week at home against Everton and move on 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 He’s been catapulted into being the most important player in our team. Mings was our best defender, our leader and most of our aggression. Big boots to fill. Comes with a big reputation. Not sure he’ll do it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, no. Like I say. Torres role now is massive. Let’s see how good he really is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Think he will, he had a nice spell today and seem to be leading and organising. It all fell apart after but we won’t be playing Newcastle every week it’s a tough hostile place to go.

If Konsa can't step up he'll be replaced soon enough, did well end of last season so he needs to repeat that level without Mings holding his hand. He's been a prem regular since December 2019 so not some untested kid anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Baptism of fire today. The trouble we've got now is that we've got Konsa who needs somebody like Mings to organise him, and he's now going to be playing with either Torres or Carlos, both of whom are more or less completely untried in the Premier League. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Our defence could be Foyth - Carlos - Pau - Moreno by the start of Sept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if we should go Torres, Carlos, and Konsa at RB for solidity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
