Hopefully it suits, but i thought the way Pau was turned for one of the Brentford goals, when he was playing left back, concerned me a little. Might just be pre-season settling stuff tho, not trying to be......picky. im sure Emery knows more than me lol. I think Mings at CB is really important too for his physicality. Especially while Pau gets to grips with English football at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something he’ll need to work on or it’ll get picked up by analysts in PL for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they underestimated us given that they are the Champions League club and we are Conference. I think Valencia may actually be a tougher test.

MotoMkali Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I'm shocked we haven't seen Konsa, Mings, Torres, Digne once this preseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah of course. I was more surprised Bailey was in the team but I guess with the full back roles flipped he can play on the left instead Edited August 5, 2023 by villan95 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Dogne on bench so those saudi rumours probably bollocks Looks a solid starting line up. Torres at left back is interesting. I think youri on bench is interesting We really have competition in that area. And we still got JJ to come back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's completely opposite to true. As good as mcginn has been recently. Martinez and Watkins are obviously first names on the team sheet. Luiz and Kamara too, though the competition with Tielemans is so much stiffer. Diaby has to be considered nailed and obviously ramsey is first choice LM. Our defence is in question due to our quality and depth in choices there. But RM is closer to up for grabs. Unai obviously favours Bailey. He's been his first choice whenever he's been fit. And considering ramsey is our 3rd biggest goal threat and Diaby is a brand new signing it means Bailey and McGinn are absolutely competing for the same place in the side.

In fairness, it's a positive argument to be able to have. When so many of our players can be termed " first name on the team sheet " and it not being because everyone else is terrible.

I’m guessing Carlos is injured and Durán not quite ready yet Think you’re right. Barring an injury this is the Newcastle line up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted August 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Is Bailey gonna be on left? I've been telling Emery that's how he needs to set up. I wonder if he listened. Edited August 5, 2023 by Marka Ragnos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
