villan-scott Posted August 6, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2023 He’s one of those underrated players by us and fans of other clubs. Goes about his business excellently, rarely receives the plaudits - but is class. Mad to think he’s only 25. Emery clearly rates him and I can just see him going from strength to strength. If I was Konsa I’d be pledging my allegiance to Portugal as clearly not in knobnoses thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 He's a worry without Mings. Been a regular at this level for four years now but get the feeling he's one of those that will shrink a bit without a leader/vocal presence alongside him keeping him switched on, terrible error for 3rd which pretty much finished the match there and then. Pau needs to settle in and I assume his English isn't great so CB is a bit of a worry now in terms of how that combination goes and Diego is coming off a year out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very worrying for me. His mistake was just pure dog shit and such a easy one to avoid which is really frustrating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Yep, needs a leader next to him and Pau does not give me the same alpha influence that mings has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolta Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 He cost one goal with a mistake, but other than that was fine...good even. We fell apart as a team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Konsa, but he’s 25 now and as a centre back he needs to start developing that leadership and team perspective as he grows into a senior pro. With Mings gone, he now has a big test. It’s an opportunity for him to mature as a player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and the mistake was a bit unlucky, he actually did all the right things positionally and then just screwed up the execution in a key moment. It happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Made an awful error for the third goal which can happen but it was at a crucial time in the match and he only needed to knock it out of play, he was good last season but without Mings he has always struggled. I wonder whether Emery might try Diego Calos and Torres as a partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 The mistake I don’t mind, but the panicky way he plays without Mings remains. I think that’s mainly due to trying to play outside of himself when Mings is out, to try and do “more.” He needs to trust Pau, with time, and play his normal game.

Ezri has come on leaps and bounds under Unai. To say that he can't perform without Tyrone is doing him a disservice, as he never had another quality CB to play alongside when playing without the big man. Now we have both Carlos and Pau, two players that have been successful in their respective careers. His mistake yesterday was poor, but who knows how much Tyrone's injury affected him (and the rest of the team). All the players need our backing, and an opening day shocker against a very good team is not a good sample size for us to learn an awful lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
