abdomlahor Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 i saw a tweet that made a lot of sense regarding konsa moving back to right back when carlos comes back from injury. would make a lot of sense in that the rb spends a lot of time defending as a cb in emery's system when on the ball, like juan foyth did for him at villarreal, and obviously young isn't ideal for that currently. would make us more solid. so on the ball it would be: martinez konsa carlos mings kamara luiz buendia ramsey bailey watkins digne (moreno) and in a defensive shape it might be: martinez ramsey konsa carlos mings digne (moreno) luiz kamara buendia bailey watkins or just the regular 4-4-2 medium block. crazy how fluid emery's formations are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody1000 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I thought I’d give Konsa a mention today, I thought he played well and dare I say stepped up in responsibility a bit in Mings’ absence. He’s definitely been much improved under Unai Emery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Goal saving block will be forgotten Also enjoyed his run and the fact that him snapping Alvarez at the end of it was one of very few have that you word removed tackles all game, we needed a few more of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get them down the tunnel and criticised, especially against a former player who dived against you to win a penalty. Just reeks of mental weakness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Today once again showed he can't play from the back at all. Late drama will gloss over that gift he gave them at 2-2 that Odegaard somehow fired wide. People talk about Mings and he isn't perfect but Konsa will be out as soon as Carlos is match fit imo.

Rightdm00 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Desperately need Konsa to be first choice from the bench. He plays it far to safe and gets caught in terrible positions because of his hesitancy. He's not a bad defender by any means but I think he's an easy upgrade once Carlos returns.

Rustibrooks Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 When Mings is not playing, you can see how uncomfortable he looks to play it forward. Today he was too casual at times and almost got caught out. I think he’s a decent player but in my opinion his position is in jeopardy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he shouldn't be a starter at all, but i wouldnt get rid, he could be ok-ish backup. tbh, in my head, i see Mings and Konsa as backup/competition to two new CD's (or backup to Carlos and a new CD - depending on how Carlos returns to fitness and performs etc).

That’s also fair. I’d keep him as backup, he shouldn’t be starting. Just not good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's just too passive, both off the ball and with his passing. People go on about his good 'not dribbled past' stats, but that's because he's always just backing off and not trying to win the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted February 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2023 Konsa is part of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Had more than enough chances to be "the guy" and never really took them. He will never play as much as he has and at a club looking to level up once the season is out. It'll be a slow decline into relegation battles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did like him, and even thought criticism of him was harsh, but i think it may have been right. I think his early reputation proceeds (right word?) him a fair bit. How often do you see him dominate a forward? Hardly ever. His passing is always safe, he's prone to an error. He hasn't filled me with confidence for a long time.
