That's what we were made to believe, but watching the actual games, he's as soft as butter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season I thought we looked more solid with Konsa RB and Carlos CB than playing Cash there, felt it gave us better balance but that was with Konsa actually forming a back 3 in possession and the LB pushed much higher up. Today we saw Konsa trying to play in a through ball to Watkins and in general this season the LB has not been as advanced. There's stuff we need to fix, Onana being new in that CM slot hasn't helped us defensively yet, badly need Kamara back as hes more defensive minded. I dont think Carlos is a bad player though, he played 90 mins in our back to back double vs City and Arsenal at home and against Arsenal away.

thabucks Posted Sunday at 20:20 Share Posted Sunday at 20:20 Saudi beckons (hopefully) … just hasn’t worked out as hoped and who knows if the injury is the reason or that he just wasn’t cut out for the prem full stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted Sunday at 20:22 Share Posted Sunday at 20:22 I don't think he wants to be here. Shown before he's a capable defender but he doesn't look arsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichW Posted Sunday at 20:28 Share Posted Sunday at 20:28 The way he got skinned for the goal reminded me of the way Buendia skinned Connor Coady away to Everton to make it 2-0 couple of seasons ago. Thought at the time that was him done at this level and now Carlos isn’t good enough for where Villa want to be sadly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he responded way too late to the counter ball and was absolutely shafted at the last turn before the goal. I have defended him a lot, but that was criminal defending and it's just another example where he has cost us by not being switched on. I hope we get rid. Delap was in his own half when the other Ipswich player was shaping up to play the pass. Carlos was two yards behind our defensive line so all he had to do was shepherd Delap into the corner. At worst, he’d have got a cross in. But he foolishly tried to play offside at the last second and got caught in no man’s land. Should still have closed down the angle but just let Delap cut inside far too easily. Extremely annoying goal to concede. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. He's surely earned a lifetime starting position after those heroics. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely annoying goal to concede. On the replay you can see that Unai attempted to instruct him to push forward as well. But as you said, he didn't do this and also didn't close down the area that Delap was in and foolishly tried to play for the offside by himself. It was just all around terrible defending and kind of my last straw with Carlos personally. Anyone can make poor passes and silly mistakes, but it happens all the time with him and when he ignores instructions and it leads to a goal, then it's just not acceptable imo.

jayEm Posted Sunday at 21:00 Share Posted Sunday at 21:00 (edited) Why does he run so weirdly? Is it just me who sees that? Last week after he gave the ball away for Wolves' goal, and chasing down Delap today, it looked like he was trying to sprint barefoot over Lego Edited Sunday at 21:00 by jayEm 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted Sunday at 21:26 Share Posted Sunday at 21:26 I've defended him in the past but he's becoming a serious liability with the brain-farts/slow thinking/movement. I don't understand how we aren't Kosta right back, Ezri back in the middle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted Sunday at 21:37 Share Posted Sunday at 21:37 (edited) The second goal was hilarious. He's literally caught square on his heels and doesn't even react till Delap is already yard behind him. I've seen glaciers move faster.

ozvilla28 Posted Monday at 05:45 Share Posted Monday at 05:45 Can't understand why his near the squad all preseason and in the Premier League looked way off it. Rather Swinkels or Bogarde until Mings fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted Monday at 09:51 Share Posted Monday at 09:51 His defending for the goal was horrific. Schoolboy stuff. His body positioning and his weight distribution is all wrong. He should be low and side on facing the attacker, pushing him onto his left foot and forcing him wide. The way he positions his body makes it so easy for Delap to just sell him a dummy to the point he almost falls over. It's really, really bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
