I think Konsa is wasted at right - back. He's the best defender at the club, by a long way imo. I agree, but Cash is also terrible going forward. He gets forward more than Konsa as in he's there, but is very rarely effective. Konsa is completely blunt going forward though I agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say "Terrible," he's had his share of goals and assists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I think Cash's biggest fault is a lack of calm when it's needed most, hence, the silly challenges that have, at times, proved to be costly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six goals and eight assists in 123 games in the PL (so over three seasons worth of football). It's not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Cash has got worse going forward because he's following Emery instructions and he looks lost not playing off instinct anymore. He had that 2 goal game when moved to RM. Long story short I think he's not an Emery system player at RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe he generally lacks composure and the ability to beat a man in tight spaces though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not bad for a RB. Though i am more interested in how good his defending is and how many goals could have been prevented with a better RB?

Colin79 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I did suspect that this kid would be eased in, and against Leicester we’d see D Carlos coming in with Konsa moving to RB and Maatsen getting a start to provide the width. With Carlos now injured that’s now out the window so we’ll see him start tomorrow. I’m looking forward to seeing how he does, he certainly looks a threat going forward, if a little raw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t lie, I’m very worried about him defending but he’ll have to learn quickly as he’s our only option. Also very excited about him as an attacking bulldozer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets sucked in and we lose shape defensively when he gets pulled out of position. From the little I've seen of Ned I've noticed him stop pressing when he's going to leave a massive hole in our back line and get back into shape. We'll see but I think Kosta might have better awareness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see but I think Kosta might have better awareness. To be that aware at such a young age, tells you all you need to know. That's why Emery selected him ahead of Carlos. He obviously instills a sense of trust, which, for a defender, is no bad thing at all. We might just have a potential Eastern European Maicon on our hands. You heard it here first.

M_Afro Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 This guy’s going to get the opportunity to cook now this season. I think he’ll take his chance. Not signing an expensive alternative could still work in our favour. He’s done brilliantly so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cizzler Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I slated him last week - but thought he had his best performance today. Hopefully adapting to the speed of the league. Mavidi has Bogarde on toast - but was much quieter once Ned was on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_eristic Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 His pace is something else. There was a tussle with Mavididi just beyond the halfway line where it looked like he was going to break clear of Ned into space and had few yards of separation, but by the time he got his head up, Ned was effortlessly goal side of him again.
