spiezels Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Not all players can be firing all the time. Mings and Konsa having a bit of a downturn in form but both I would say have plenty of credits in the bank. They’ll find it again, and during this downturn in form we’ve still got a draw at United a couple wins, and a draw to Leeds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I find it weird that Konsa and Watkins, two of our best players last season have been so poor or average this season. Luiz and McGinn have recently seemed to decide to join the race if who can be the worst player this season. I think out of the underperforming players Konsa is still the best and likeliest to recover his form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily. Watkins problems are also dictated by the change in formation and personnel around him and he’s been out of form for nearly the entire season.

I do think we would be open to silly offers on him though as he has about 3 years left on his contract so we would make a hefty profit. I just want to see him return to last seasons form.

But simply by guessing one could make the argument, since we’ve apparently decided to bring in at least one new centre-back and SG, allegedly, likes his CBs to be good passers and ball players.

Philosopher Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 If you have to sell one of Konsa or Mings, dispite Mings being the most maligned Konsa is the easiest to replace. Mings leadership qualities and ball playing is above Konsa, he is also left footed. The quickest way to improve our defense is a DM that can defend. The second fastest is to replace Konsa with a better all round player. Not sure Gomez is the answer as he is a bit injury prone, and i think we shoud be going for a player with leadership qualities, better ball playing abilities as well as being a good defender. I wouldn't sell Konsa though. I think 5 cb's with 4 of them being able to cover one of the full back positions and one that also covers DM is nice depth to have. 3 quality CB's competing for two spots plus 2 good back up is the way to go. If we sign Gomez it would be foolish to sell Konsa with his injury record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Gerrard it's because we don't do a flat back 4 with two holding midfielders like we had last season. That solid 6 man defensive unit got so many clean sheets. We now have the fullbacks up the pitch and a 3 man midfield spread across the pitch. So instead of Targett / Cash helping the CBs we've Ramsey and McGinn. The drop off in defensive attributes there is big. We also have Luiz on his own to protect the CBs. So Mings/Konsa are not getting anywhere near the protection they had last season.

Especially players like Konsa and Hause. It's a certainty that Gerrard will bring in a ball playing CB this summer like Gomez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted February 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 26, 2022 Still think he's our best defender, hopefully starts today as we need a good game from him to get anything at Brighton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Anyone else think he had a bit more license today? Took some pressure off Mings (from being closed down as the only pass we would make) and they both benefitted as a whole. Helped having the full backs closer to them to actually pass to, also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Solid. Our best CB, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 No way we should be selling Konsa. Not at his best this season but he is still young - especially for a CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
