The Fun Factory Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Overall I think he has done ok for his first year. He has been chunked into a struggling side a division above what he has played before. He has also been asked to play out of position. I think he will do well for us next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings is an England international, when he partnered Engels at the start of the season, they looked unbeatable. Konsa is a future England international according to Smith and Hause is more than capable back up. I think they are good options to have as a newly promoted side 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Always a threat from set pieces, lacks a bit of concentration in his own box though, but he’s been good last few games and is definitely a good prospect that will grow in value 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings and Engles being unbeatable at the start of the season? You see the thing is that they actually were beaten, by Spurs, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace and Arsenal. Regarding Konsa, you do realise that when DS says that, in reality it’s worthless. Manager overhyping player to boost confidence shocker! And as for Hause, the problem is he’s not been backup has he? He’s started 17 games this season! More than Engles has! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fondly remember our defence looking unbeatable against Spurs away, hopefully we can get back to that. Why would you be surprised to see Mings starting games for England? It’s his shirt to lose for me. Regarding Konsa, I trust the manager’s judgement, he’s just beginning to cement himself in our first team. As for Hause, I think he’s done quite well whenever he’s played, yes, he’s made a few mistakes but he will learn and become a better player as a result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramshackler Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I like Konsa, one for the future definitely but sorry he absolutely did make a Horlicks of that clearance. If he stays on his feet it's a simple headed clearance. Why he opted for an overhead I've no idea, but even then if you're a pro footballer a ball looping at that speed you should absolutely be making a clean contact and clearing that ball. He pretty much air kicked it he sliced it so bad. In isolation it's not the worst mistake in the world and it happens, so no point slagging him, but just so happens it's cost us a three points that was absolutely vital to our season and has pretty much doomed us. Could tell the lad was devastated as he knows he could and should have done better with it and will be hurting. Chin up Ezri put it right next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LondonVillian Posted July 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 17, 2020 Anyone blaming konsa for the goal is a complete moron and cleary never played football. Doing an overhead kick clearance like that is far from easy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazmonkey Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Agreed...I would ask what Targett was doing sitting next to Mings when the cross came in.....having said that he has done it all season.....poor positional sense and awareness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything I think Konsa embodies Aston Villa - he is developing well and there is no more we can ask of a player like him. He fits the club at this stage of its development (sadly for the same reason it is why Jack's got to leave regardless of relegation.) He'll be a big player for us when we come back up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolta Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I think Reina might have reached it himself had Konsa not gone for it. I just watched El Ghazi's miss and their goal—they are both so depressingly avoidable. They're both easier to score/stop than miss/score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
