DeepDish Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Difficult first half for him. Lots of poor passes, ran himself into trouble with the ball and missed completely the offside trap for the goal. Much better in the second half- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas10 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Hopefully Pau can get a decent break now and get in proper shape and full fitness… hopefully no more niggles and can play consistently, at least in the league. Even better if Ezri could do the same. We need to keep the two of them together at CB really. Although we’ve previously done well with Carlos and Konsa RB. We’re better off without having to play Lenglet, despite him doing quite well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First choice Konsa and Pau. Second choice Carlos and Pau who kept two clean sheets against the two best teams in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, best results/performances have actually been with Pau, Carlos and Konsa all together. Diego can’t seem to stay fit though… But, going forwards, a Pau and Konsa partnership should be our future and makes us a better side… they suit each other really well and make us better in play.

He's absolutely key to the way we play, so if anything, resting him when we're 2-0 up against Brentford would have made more sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in risking it all for 1 point v city when we only have to win 4 games v Brentford, Bournemouth, Chelsea and pick up a win somewhere else. Emery’s the very accomplished and successful professional here and he made the call on his 20 years+ experience at the highest levels. He’s made it abundantly clear through this selection that our aim now is to secure champions league qualification (I suspect he doesn’t really care if it’s 5th if we get the extra place) and to win the conference league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 There's no guarantee that 5th will be enough though. We'd probably have lost anyway last night, but the team selection, especially without Pau, practically guaranteed it. The side that finished the game was an absolute shambles.
