Popular Post Oaks Posted May 11 Popular Post Share Posted May 11 Reading some of this thread you would believe Torres cant defend and Mings was a clobbber who cant pass the ball.The truth is Torres is a very good defender with some weaknesses, and Mings is good with the ball at his feet just not as good as Torres. Some very odd takes in this thread 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honest_bertie Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 The whole who's better debate between Ty and Pau is kind of pointless, different styles of defender. Also it ignores and dismisses the talent these guys have to face… mistakes happen, even to the very best defenders… Emi is the best keeper in the world but still can make a mistake. Would be great if a Ezri, Ty and Pau system somehow could work. Also worth remembering this is Pau’s first season in a new league and new country., considering I think he’s overall been phenomenal.

PeterSw Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I think we'll see a lot of Konsa/Mings/Torres back 3 combinations next season if Ty can get back to form before the injury. Konsa at RB and an attacking LB or Torres at LB and an attacking RB playing 3241 in attack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dog Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 We turning on one of best players this season because an established player might be back in the fold next season? Nope, I'd have a squad with both of them beautiful bastards in all day every day. They're different players, but both have attributes that we should be utilising.

Distressingly slow and weak. Fails to cut out plenty of threats in his vicinity. No argument on the ball he's fantastic. He's that good the confidence emanates from him to the rest of the side - very important to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted Monday at 09:45 Share Posted Monday at 09:45 (edited) Is the manager just the Spanish Cocknose? Edited Monday at 09:56 by CarryOnVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he isn't one of the best 9 Spanish defenders? Ok well then I expect Spain to win the Euros without conceding a goal if that's the case. Madness.

Herman22 Posted Monday at 09:46 Share Posted Monday at 09:46 I’m sure he’s disappointed but it’s better for Villa. Get a rested Pau for the start of a tough season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishywashy Posted Monday at 09:49 Share Posted Monday at 09:49 Playing someone like Pau would mean the Spanish national team would probably create chances of note, can't have that. They're more than content to play over 1000 passes just to have 1 shot on target: which is exactly how they got knocked out of the last World Cup. From a selfish Villa perspective, it's a well deserved break. From his perspective, I'd be wondering how on earth he didn't get in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted Monday at 09:53 Share Posted Monday at 09:53 Maybe their coach thinks he's an average PL 'defender' at best. Distressingly slow and weak. Fails to cut out plenty of threats in his vicinity 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted Monday at 09:55 Share Posted Monday at 09:55 I'd be interested to see who starts for them. Laporte and Pau started one tournament together and tbh they were very similar. Laporte more of a presence. Pau's passing is better however and it's a real shock he's not going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted Monday at 09:58 Share Posted Monday at 09:58 If you are not basing your game around his ability to build and control pace of passing then there are plenty of better defenders out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Spain we're talking about though. Although I've no idea how their new coach operates tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted Monday at 10:00 Share Posted Monday at 10:00 He was obviously playing with an injury in the run in. So quite good news for us I think that him and Bailey aren't involved in any tournaments and get a full six weeks off now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
