Indigo Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Have to say, I've always wanted to like Konsa but he's a nothing player for me. Completely passive and today summed it up, dragged everywhere by Solanke and bullied by Moore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Massively overrated. Can't hide behind the fact he isn't Tyrone Mings this season. Konsa is our worst defender and shouldn't be anywhere near ahead of Chambers in the pecking order let alone Mings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) He’s a good lad and is adequate back up in case of injury/suspension or coming off the bench but not in any sane world is he starting ahead of Mings.

May-Z Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Lost the initial header for the first goal. Ran out more concerned about protecting his bollocks instead of stopping the cross for the second. Yet will be the first to flap his arms and/or slap the turf when the ball goes in our net and look like he's passing blame. Watching the highlights again today has made me really annoyed at him. He was great two years ago and awful last year. Shouldn't have been anywhere near the starting line up without the injury, let along being rushed back from it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Utterly bizarre to start him yesterday. If Mings isn’t going to play, then you start Chambers. At no point should Konsa have even been in the discussion to start yesterday and yet here we are. Almost as baffling a decision as giving McGinn the captaincy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I think he played himself out of the side and it was odd to have him in the first eleven. Mings and Carlos for me, if not Mings then Chambers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness we said similar last season and Gerrard still picked him, he had some stinkers then Chambers came in played well. next game Konsa was picked again replace Chambers with Buendia or Sanson or Young and you see our problem is huge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Tbh I was expecting us to sell him in the summer if he hadn’t had that knee injury, sick of seeing him always slap the floor when we concede when some of the goals are down to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Poor selection why was he picked in the starting 11 Chambers was in form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this 100%, I was not expecting Konsa to be in the starting eleven at all. Firstly, his form for the last twelve months has been questionable and secondly he has not long returned from a long term injury so wasn't sure of his fitness. Personally, I was expecting Mings to start with Carlos, but if not Mings then Chambers would have been my next choice. One of my massive gripes of last season was how many times we conceded the first goal in the first twenty minutes. I think I counted 10-12 games lst season we were a goal down within the first twenty minutes, and statistically the first goal in a game is usually crucial in the PL. Here we are again, only this time less than five minutes into the first game of the season we are chasing a game again. If we want to be top 8 then this needs to change!

The_Steve Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Can’t say I’ve watched the loss but I was honestly shocked he started ahead of Mings. Has Gerrard learned nothing from last season before his injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 He's clearly getting targeted by teams whenever he's on the pitch. I'd have him 4th choice easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
