I reckon Southgate might be looking at either Konsa or Guehi to replace Maguire in the team if he doesn't trust him any more, although whether he's actually got the guts to drop him is another matter. Maguire shouldn't even be on the plane, the 4 centre backs should be Konsa, Stones, Branthwaite, Colwill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colwill I think misses this tournament because of the season he's had but would be in for the world cup. Just means no left footed centre back in the squad but I'm not sure that's such a big deal.

Farlz Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Konsa at RB with Pau and Carlos in the middle is so perfect. Just please stay fit all of them, it's our best defence easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted March 30 VT Supporter Share Posted March 30 Konsa's such a quiet guy, going about his job, and now 'should' be starting for England. Quality player who has excelled under every manager. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WooJung Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Dinks and the ball coming in off the post are two of the most satisfying kinds of goals. He ticked both boxes in one and didn't event mean to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Konsa has grown so much under Emery. Used to be really timid in possession, always playing it super safe - now he's really come out of his shell. You love to see it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted March 31 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted March 31 He's unlucky in a way: he's getting words like "lucky" and "fluke", and of course to an extent they're true, but if he puts that a few inches left we'd be talking about an incredible little dinked chip of an assist - he almost gets less credit because it went in - it's a brilliant ball to the far post that's caused chaos and sneaked in, he deserves credit for it. He was excellent again last night in an already excellent season, you can see him growing as a player and he's so classy. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Whatever the intent, it was top-class. From his run into space and the technique on show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Classy operator all match, every match. Slowly beginning to come round to the idea of him as a right back. He lacks certain things you’d expect in a right back but makes up for it by being an out and out f****** awesome defender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I Thought he played with a bit more swagger, yesterday, a bit more belief ( not that he was lacking previously) I guess an England call up.....can do that.....especially when you play well for them.

I think the question to him, " did you mean it" was puny and naive.....Many goals get scored like that. Do that say that to any questionable goal scored?.....does Ronnie O'Sullivan spend time apologising for flukes?...not likely. It was effing nit picking and bordered on inferred gas lighting. My god.....where do they find these interviewers from? ps He should have said No, I meant it as a pass back to the Goal Keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair he was brave and carried it forward into midfield well under Smith, especially during covid, then lost that for whatever reason. But agreed Emery has brought it back.

tinker Posted March 31 VT Supporter Share Posted March 31 Great ball into the danger area that created a goal. It's what players should be doing when they get into decent positions. Moreno, Cash and a few others tend to want to play a perfect pass into one of our players but sometimes you just have to play it into a dangerous area and see what happens, this is exactly what Konsa did. Balls driven into the box from the byline is nightmare for defenders and keepers to clear, we have countless chances to do it, Moreno, but tend to over play it. Just drive the ball low and hard, at best a goal, at the worst a corner or a rushed clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasley14 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Really is starting to become a good footballing right back let alone Cb. Developed so much over the last two years that we don't really lack much going forwards when he plays over Cash. Gives the ball away less too.
