He's out anyway. Official.

 

[Melon Donkey]

Booooo!

Sheffield Utd fans no doubt glad to not be facing the guy they no doubt call "T'Pau".

Huge miss

 

[Dumble]

Once again a Rolls Royce when he came on. More signings like him over the coming years under Unai and we are laughing.

 

[Fulford]

Was good to see him and his calming influence back.

That's where you see Pau at his best.

He brings discipline to the backline, pushes the play further up the pitch and finds some key forward passes.

 

[Pangloss]

World class player

God so happy tosee him back. For him pau and konsa at cb is our best pairing

Yes Those two have been our rock this season and playing Konsa at right back had destabilised our offside trap as Carlos and Lenglet are all over the taters hence United and Burnley running them both ragged

Those two in the centre of the defence with Kamara in front of them gives us much more stability and control.

In that second Burnley goal, Torres stepped up but Moreno and Carlos played the lad onside as they are not up to speed with this trap

What ever you think of Cash he is well drilled in the high line as is Digne. It will take Moreno a bit to dial back in. Great chance to practice at Boro next week.

I think Cash struggles with it tbh hence Konsa playing but Carlos is like Mings always first to drop and play people onside, some players just can't do it as it is alien to what they have spent years doing

Just shows how we see it different. I thought Konsa was moved to RB because he is a far better 1 v 1 defender than cash. I thought our best high line for offsides is Cash Konsa Torres and Digne.

I think it just shows how chopping and changing the backline causes problems. It’s clear it’s something that requires a lot of trust and understanding.

That offside trap takes real practice and nerves of steel to let attackers run through without chasing them. We have as close a thing to George Graham Arsenal as it's possible to get. It only takes one to drop and you look like clowns

I've watched the line during games as I find it fascinating. At certain times they all just stand still. I was trying to work out what trigger they use to co ordinate it. I still cannot work it out but its genius.

 

[Professor Dem_C]

Didnt see any pics of pau in training so i highly doubt he will will play friday night. Please be fit for newcastle
