Tom13 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 31 minutes ago, WHY said: He’s fine when we play football. He struggles when we knock hopeless 70 yard ball over the top, strange that. Amazes me how some players get a pass due to formation, not playing in the right position, manager, it was raining etc but Watkins doesn’t. I'd actually disagree and say he struggles when we play football, or at least when he's involved in the build up - any sort of intricate play is his glaring weakness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Anyway, apologies, should leave that for the Watkins thread. Back to Konsa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking this was potentially an option. In a back 4 but where Digne in left back is getting forward down the line and Buendia on left wing is moving centrally into the 10 role and Ings dropping deep from CF leaving Watkins up top. Bailey running into CF of the the right. Chamber moves forward from RB to partner Luiz and Kamara in midfield. So we're a 2 3 5 in attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konsa can also play RB though so perhaps we'll see that at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 For the third goal he's too busy appealing for offside - as if it makes a difference anyway - rather than cutting out the pass played behind him or getting out of Cash's way. So poor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) Good time Frankie. Gutless this guy and the first person to moan or complain or appeal or put blame on someone else for a goal conceded. Get him replaced. Absolute coward . I'm also sick to death off his face everytime we concede. No sense of a reaction or shake it off or get focused. Just a pouting toddler face, raised eyebrows about to wobble his lip.

I see this too much and it winds me up. Especially when he’s doing it to Martinez. He’s trash. Chambers is miles ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambers is miles ahead. Waving the arms in the air as of to show you care. It's well known this is hated by team mates as just doing it for the fans I think he needs to grow up on the pitch. He isnt a rookie anymore, its his 4th season at this level and has massively declined since fans returned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 On a related note to the above, this for the third goal was bizarre to me. With VAR being a thing now there is no need to distract yourself by calling for offside, just keep doing your job and that will sort itself out. He seems so pre-occupied with doing so here that he doesn't attempt to cut out a quite softly-hit pass that ends up being played in behind him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your right, and I feel the same about his right full back. just woeful defending. I have never been in favour of Centre Backs without stature, anyway, leaves Ty too much to do in the air. That second goal Carlos would have had it in the air, before wilson....its just puny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 What a turnaround! Really had written him off - both defensively and in possession but looked a man possessed on the ball and far better defending. I forget how young he is sometimes and shows that players don’t just learn through osmosis. Haven’t been properly coached in a year so I’m hoping for a big turnaround under Unai. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted November 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2022 Just watched a player improve over 90 minutes, started ok and slowly got better and better, should have shot though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are we talking about here? As my original post was about Watkins, not Konsa But I agree anyway, Watkins did well today. I'm just clarifying as I've never got on board with the Konsa criticism. He's still a quality defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May-Z Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Very progressive with his passing through the lines from CB. A big change from previous matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
