Villaphan04 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 pretty sure I saw that he was in the top 5 "most fouled" players in the PL with Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is at 3 a game right now. Mainly because iheanacho fouled him 5 times I think against Leicester.

Indigo Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I know going for Mings will be the done thing here and I don't want to get on anyone's back in particular as I think the first goal is more so the fault of the whole defensive like but...what is Konsa playing at for it? It was similar to one of the goals in the Southampton game where despite being the right sided centre back he finds himself within touching distance of Mings on the other side and leaving an enormous gap/no cover. It happens worryingly often andsurely needs addressing quickly 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I thought he was our best player, along with Cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pub-team level defending from both, everybody go for the ball, never mind defensive shape. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's definitely more indicative that how we were set up was ridiculous, but I just had to point that out about Konsa in particular because it's especially poor and not the first time I've seen him do it. Even if our line is that high, if he's positioned where he's meant to be there's an at least slight possibility he can cover that ball in behind but it is what it is. Hopefully this is a learning curve because that sort of reckless defending is the exact opposite of the foundations that have given us success in other games this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enda Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Ezri played very well today. Dunno what he was playing at with his little Maradona tribute that nearly handed them a goal, and he was foolish to square up to Adama when he was already on a yellow, but was excellent overall. What a player this man could turn out to be in five years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong I don't want him in the squad tbh. I want him working with a good manager in international breaks, not a shite one. But the last squad's centre halves were Dier, Maguire, Keane, Mings and Coady. He's better than all them for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree. I consider him to be our best defender, and if Mings is starting for England then Konsa is capable too. I might have my claret and blue specs on, but I see him becoming England's best defender in just a few year's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 For me, Ezri has been the best Villa defender this season. Hardly a mistake to mention and been a threat at the other end too. The Euros await. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good point: we were so impotent from set pieces last season: Kons gets about it in the opposition penalty area and can find a bit of space. Being known as a threat at set pieces is half the battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
