Diego Carlos

[Percy McCarthy]

I would go with a 3-5-2 and Carlos v West Ham .
Torres can step into midfield at times. For me it's essential Carlos plays and set up Cash and Digne fullbacks but 3 centre halves

Can’t see it, whenever we play three centre-halves one of them plays full back.

I'd play Carlos today for his physicality against this lot

That's fair point . I rather him not play Torres as any auxiliary left back but Konsa I can just about tolerate.

And that strength is needed against West Ham in way they play.
Similarly would use him against directness of Luton next week too.

And drop who?

[Risso]

Going 5-3-2 smells of us setting out to stifle West Ham, when at home we should be going out on the front foot to smash them. 4-4-2 please, with Cash as right back.

Well, if he plays today, he won’t be dropping anybody.

Lovely to see Dean Smith on Skysports.

He's solid defensively and offers a good physical and competitive presence; however, I find some of his passing and distribution concerning.
Some of his long game is really off, and even the shorter passes aren't always so good.
Emery will have his use for Carlos, but I want to flag up the concerns about his distribution.

Give Emery time to work on his game. Diego Carlos is a class defender.

[Footy-Vill]

Keeping eyes on him tonight.
I'll tell you something he often gets opportunities with his head at set plays. So far he hasn't managed to do much other than contact but does seem to be able to get on the end of things.

Insight ! See above.
I knew he was due one been threatening!

Delighted after his horrible injury that he got his goal today.

Just hope the latest knock is just a knock though.

True. If you look at his record he's always been a goalscorer. Great to see the reception he got when subbed.

Hopefully just a tweak, he walked off fairly normally.
