cheltenham_villa Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I think his versatility might really help him for England. Ben White was basically in as he covers two positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Knows the guy has him on toast if he runs him, slowed him down, stood him up, given him space to have the ball but no space to use it He's defended him perfectly Shit seeing him blatantly have the brakes on when looking up the pitch though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rodders129 Posted March 23 Popular Post Share Posted March 23 I think he has a very good shout for the Euros now. Was a very tidy, confident performance against top international opposition. A ball playing RCB as cover for Stones and effective cover for Walker at RB. Well done Ezri 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Excellent game for England tonight. While he won’t be a starter in the Euro’s, certainly Southgate will be impressed enough with him to have as back up CB or RB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted March 23 VT Supporter Share Posted March 23 Very good performance from him - really pleased for him. Great shift. Kept Vini Jr pretty quiet when he occupied the left wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said in the match thread I think he's the most natural fit for covering Kyle walker, if England push the LB up and then have the RB drift in to a back 3 then konsa is your man Why they do that with the LB rather than the RB with TAA is another matter... Dunk also **** up tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to do the whole one fullback pushes up shift over to a back 3 thing then you push the RB up, England have several players who can do it Did see one player rating site give konsa a 4 saying he was too reluctant to push on and we were too defensive - you can see the restraints slapped on him by Southgate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

479Villan Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 If he could develop a consistent aerial game (from my lips to God's ears) he could absolutely lock down a spot. A speedy CB who can can cover you at RB and present an aerial threat (or even defend aerially) frees up so much of your team. Of course it's Southgate and he treats freedom like a burden sooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East London Villa Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Ezri played perfectly to his own strengths in that position tonight. Defended very well, stayed deep to cover all their best attacking threats lurking on his side, kept the ball moving without attempting anything risky so that the more talented passers could take possession. It sounds like Southgate was pleased with him and I imagine he did exactly what was asked of him. So happy for him to finally get his chance. Well deserved! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHY Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 I thought he did really well up against arguably one of the best players in the world atm. He also did this playing out of his natural position. Most players make their debut against 3rd countries, so credit to Konsa for taking it all in his stride. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Ezri Agreed, Southgate sounded like he was pleased with him as well. Suppose a lot will depend on fitness of TAA, Trippier, Walker etc as to how much the right back cover matters at the time but he did what he could. Must have a shot of starting against Belgium as well if Walker is anything more than sore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
