ozvilla28 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Cannot see him or Mings take us to the next level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Thought he had a much worse game than Mings and Nunez targeted him by peeling off him several times. Nunez is rapid but Konsa was caught out several times and looked shaky all game. Too ponderous and slow to recognize the ball in behind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Yeah he got absolutely rinsed by Nunez. In fairness that guy is electric. Really lucky he can’t shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 He's a zero accountability player. Just watching the highlights, take the third goal. He gets rinsed by Nunez and gives up, then the rebound he's nearest to the Liverpool player, gets sold easily and glided past and then when the ball goes in he does his usual jump up and down, arm flap and wobbly lip toddler expression. He's a good time player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rightdm00 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Hilarious how well his shank assisted in Liverpool's most clear cut chance. Thank God Darwin can't finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston_Villan4 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 (edited) I was surprised at how badly Nunez burned him. I think it also screwed up our high line because he was getting beat so badly. Looked like he started anticipating and trying to jump Nunez’ runs. Still feel like he has a solid future even if it’s not with Villa. Edited December 27, 2022 by Aston_Villan4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 It won’t be the first time defenders will be done by Nunez and those first time balls over the top. But his overall reading of the game is subpar even compared to the much maligned Mings. Gives up in the second phase too easily, switches off and ball watches too much. Reminds me of Clark, should have good attributes but lacks the reading of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't be having these conversations if we have any ambition.....but you are right, no better than Clark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughable Chimp Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I don’t know how he keeps starting matches. Even Mings gets benched more than he does. I’ve always been of the opinion that he’s a bang average and limited defender even when people were saying he was on the verge of a callup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We play a high line under Emery a fair bit, both Mings and Konsa at least have some pace, aside from any other failings. It would be suicide to play Chambers or Bednarek in a high line style. I agree Konsa isnt good enough, but right now we are kinda out of options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Konsa isnt good enough, but right now we are kinda out of options. Right now? Probably Bednarek. I don’t think he’s much worse than Konsa is actually. He was ever present with Southampton. Certainly worth a shot. Doesn’t dendoncker have experience at cb too? Even if he wasn’t better, I don’t understand why there isn’t more rotation with him. He’s not a supremely better option that you can’t say the other options aren’t even worth trying at all. Perhaps that will change over time with Emery but its something that always bothered me with Smith and Gerrard. Both were more willing to drop Mings than they were Konsa. And I’m not the biggest Mings fan either. Edited December 29, 2022 by Laughable Chimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High ceiling player IMO. He already looks a new player under Emery and much more confident on the ball. Wouldn't be surprised to see Mings dropped ahead of him when Carlos is ready to start.

supermon Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Crazy seeing Konza on page 3 of Villa talk chat, guess he's quietly gone about business. Thought he was good today, great goal line clearance, did what he needs to do n no nonsense. Wish between Konsa n Ming's they picked up more goal scoring headers from set pieces 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 He was very good last night. Arguably better than Mings. Seems like he’s been at the club for ages now. Really good player to have about the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I thought he really struggled first half, Costa ran in behind him and even out paced him a few times. Improved second half, but looked to lack confidence on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chine Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Quality coaching starting to creep into his game , seems to have more confidence to play some balls forward and not always sideways to Mings as seen previously, improving all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If dont count the loan players I think he is our 6th longest serving player(7th if include Young) Steer, McGinn, Mings, Ramsey, Guilbert all here longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
