dudevillaisnice Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Championship player who we signed for depth. Problem is he is playing for us as a starter. Konsa and Hause may do well for us next season in the championship but they fall far too short for the required standard at this level. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Biggest donkey I've ever seen. One of the worst passes of the ball I've seen as well. He can't be starting games in the Prem it's a shambles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I didn't mind him up to last few weeks but it's staggering how long he actually takes to clear the ball sometimes. He was in his own box today taking ages to clear and very nearly lost it. I agree he's simply a squad player who's played more than he should've this season due to various factors. Exposed by better opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I thought he was good today tbh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it seems winning every header and most tackles isn’t a significant attribute for a Centre Back for a lot of our fans on this forum. Although he was well received in the ground today as he did a lot of good defensive work. He’ll get better on the ball too. Still very young and inexperienced for a CB. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Never known a defender to dally on the ball in the box, the amount of times today he didn’t clear it and tried playing stupid passes if you could call them that 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparrow1988 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Just had a look at the winner again. Was Hause in a position to make a desperate lunge? I only saw one angle so I could be wrong and it might not have made a difference but I think he could have. Not blaming him or anything just a question. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a couple of yards off Son so not close enough to make any challenge apart from conceding a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gives one out of every three passes to the opposition. That's more important than winning headers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 If we stay up, Hause needs to be replaced. He's a complete liability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does a lot more than win headers (which is incredibly important for a CB in a struggling team). He’s a real unit and difficult to beat on the floor or in the air. I fully accept he needs to tidy up his game in possession. I think a lot of that is down to maybe instruction and over confidence at times. He also doesn’t always have an easy out ball as our left side is often congested as the opposition look to block the supply to Jack. He can quite easily get his passing stats up by passing sideways and backwards if that’s what Smith wants from him and he is young and will learn. I like him and think he has a high ceiling because he is physically very well suited to the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Bounced back very well after the Bournemouth game. Always good in the air but he was also good with his passing today. Second half particularly he played a number of good balls through the lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Played well today, not at fault for any of their goals. He is a bit ropey on the ball, but he’s incredible in the air. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 The worst of our defenders on the ball . But for me the best at defending. He makes mistakes, but make up for them. We need him to either pass it simple sideways or hoof it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Apart from one early misplaced pass, I didn't think his passing was that bad today either. A lot of the time he had no options so had to play a clipped ball down the line, a lot of those were probably incomplete but didn't put us in danger or anything. He also played a couple of nice balls on the floor into Grealish. Edited February 17, 2020 by Tom13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue with his ball playing is that he dwells on the ball too long, just keep it moving! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 His passing is awful, but like some others on here have already said.. at least he can defend. Wins every header, and he’s no slouch either. just tell him to give the damn thing to someone else, or just smack it into the left corner for jack to chase. No more attempts at mid range passes.

momo Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I really don't understand the criticism. He's talented, he's doing his job, and I see a big future for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
