Delphinho123 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 He’s ok. Just depends how ambitious we are as a club. Konsa could be our centre half for the next 5 years and he’d be ‘ok’. Not good enough for a side that want to fight for Europe though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that’s the type of situation he used to be very realiable in, but not now. Playing out from the back has never been his thing and maybe never will be.

I think we just need to get a new DM for sure and probably fresh legs as an 8 and then see where the defence is next January. They might just surprise you.

useless Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I saw a stat no twitter that only Liverpool, Chelsea, and Man City have kept more clean sheets than us since the start of last season, Konsa has played a big part in that and that's why he comes straight back into the team when Chambers or Hause do okay in his absence, or even if he has a few disappointing games himself, because he's so proven over a lenghty period of time.

Tomaszk Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Konsa is about 50x the player of Mings. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As VC said earlier. get a proper CDM in front of the defence, i don't think the defence is too bad Isnt this the issue with Konsa? An allegedly superior DM will also pass back to him as well to try make angles but Konsa doesnt read it or have the technique at the moment to distribute 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings is a far better player though. if we are bringing in a CB, it’s got to be a right sided one. take the captaincy and extra responsibility so mings can just concentrate on his own game; and he’s a proper player. Didn’t put a foot wrong again yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Much focus is on getting a new DM, but that won’t solve all our current issues in the defensive third. Watching Martinez, Konsa and Mings try playing out from the back feels very much like watching Bambi on ice. Konsa is worse than Mings at this, but Martinez isn’t great at it either tbf. If SG wants us to keep playing through the press those players need to improve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If SG wants us to keep playing through the press those players need to improve. But maybe it will If the DMC is showing for a simple 5 to 10 yard pass then those 3 will hopefully start using him DMC for me is all about off the ball movement, both in terms of making himself available for a simple pass when we have the ball and positioning and pressing to cut off passing when we don't, it's not about a big strong guy who tackles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Gerrard will be fuming with him switching off to cost us the clean sheet. Not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 He's lucky it's just the one goal he cost us. He hasn't been good enough for quite some time. Chambers is probably more trusted right now, so I'd be looking to bring in a better CB and have Chambers as the backup, Konsa would be moved on if it were up to me.

He'd be an improvement on Fulham's usual dismal CB selection, maybe they could take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) I'm so disappointed in Ezri. Every player goes through bad form. His has come at such a bad time though, Gerrards itching to get new players in at CB and hes going to play himself out of a starting spot that shouldn't have been up for debate. When Chambers was signed permanently over real, true competition for Ezri's place - he should've been able to be starter for years. Chambers is better than we all expected for £0-3m but he wasn't really expected to challenge for a start. It's not like we thought we'd signed a true quality CB thay should unseat Konsa. Going into bad form as a new manager joins and looking like half the player he's capable of being though is going to come back and bite him on the ass. And it's going to cost us money we don't really need to (or atleast, shouldn't really need to) spend. Edited May 7, 2022 by HalfTimePost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
