DJBOB Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 He’s serviceable at RB, but not to the point where we should start him at RB just to fit him into the team. Buy another RB, rotate the new transfer with Cash and for gods sake, put Konsa back at CB. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One that has been apparent since the summer window closed with only one RB on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understand why a left sided full back cannot be tried there? I get it's there wrong foot but they know the position at least. Surely it's as effective as a make shift centre half?

Tom13 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 So bloody important for us. When the whole team struggles, he seems to always be the only one or one of a few that is still taking responsibility and still playing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkLillis Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Quality player would like him in the centre back alongside Pau though. Having said that…. In Unai we trust UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konsa and Pau are some double act these days. For me he is the best English defender at the moment, sure Southgate can’t see it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Farlz Posted December 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2023 Like Dougie, another player who has had a brilliant 2023. I used to give him quite a lot of stick, thought he'd get away with a lot when he wouldn't play well and hide behind Mings imo but since the arrival of Unai he's hit heights I didn't think he was capable of. Now he's our leading man at the back, full of responsibility and taking charge. I think as well he can actually play the Emery RB role extremely well, so much so that I'd be okay with moving him there permanently and maybe sign a CB? Either way whatever role he takes up these days it's usually followed up with a superb performance. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 When we sort out the rb position and he moves back into central defence i think he will be even better for his experience there. The passes he is starting to see and complete are taking his game to a whole new level. We talk about McGinn being the best £3 mill we have ever spent. I think we should be talking about the £ 12 mill we spent on Ezri being exceptional as well. Its now 4 seasons worth of games as pretty much first choice. Nice one Deano 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maguire, stones, guehi, tomori, dunk, you can argue walker, colwill... Southgate is scarily inept Konsa + stones is decent partnership, both comfortable on the ball The truth is maguire played in the CL this season - he was **** shit in it - but he played in it...

I like Colwill he will be a good player. Out of that list only Dunk is the better defender. Not as mobile as Ez though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the respect that every time I've seen him play he's played LB I get why colwill is in there But that just adds fuel to the fire that colwill at CB over konsa is a joke, he's doesn't play there for Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I think Ez has the better mix of defence and footy ability vs a lot of those players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a big fan of Ezri he’s 1 hell of a player , 1v1s he’s one of the best in the business as proven with these stats ,game reading and management along with leadership qualities are bang up there, his confidence in his ball playing has risen dramatically since The Don came here. At only 26 he’s now coming into his prime years. Ezri is still on the rise and the Don knows this , the sky is the limit . I’m as baffled as almost everyone else around his England inclusion .

Talldarkandransome Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Konsa is easily one of the best centre backs we've ever had (that I've seen play). He lost his number one and he's taken over that spot and made it his own. He's grown so much since signing, no idea how much he cost but he will make us a huge profit if we ever sell him. Which I hope we don't. One of the best in Premier League 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
