LondonLax Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I think he’s a good player. Always puts in a solid performance when called upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Every time I watch him I'm impressed. Played left side today and still our main outlet from Emi despite it being his weaker foot (I'm assuming he's right footed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 (edited) Whenever he plays he naturally looks the most comfortable on the ball the calmest and really at ease. So naturally he hardly plays. Even on the wrong side he look assured and confident and I think took a lot of heat off Konsa and benefitted him massively (though Konsa played well too tbf not to discredit him) I'm at a total loss. We have plays like Chambers Luiz Sanson Emi who look so so so comfortable on the ball. Yet don't play. We play players that are not good om the ball. Isn't football about playing your best footballers?!!!!??!?!!?!??! Edited August 28, 2022 by rodders0223 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubliner Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I'd be interested to see him deployed as a DM alongside Kamara at some stage. Take McGinn out and start Luiz as an 8 and possibly get Buendia and Coutinho in as well. Chambers is so comfortable on the ball that he could easily play anywhere so if Konsa and Mings are fit I don't see the harm in trying him alongside Kamara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambers and Kamara in front of the back 4 with Luiz ahead of him. Bailey, Watkins, and based on our current squad, maybe Ramsey as the front 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 found it funny that the official social media posted a video over the weekend of the last time we played leeds, here's a video of chambers playing great and scoring a brilliant goal bad management of him, never let us down, if anything he's looked in competition with mings for our best CB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chambers played well then gets benched. Whenever ings starts and scores he is usually benched the next game. Luiz played great against city with kamara and is benched the following game. Great motivation for players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had something in his appendix where he had to have a small procedure. He's in a little pain at the moment but, when we're playing the following Monday, it should help and get him available.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Such a weird one this, whenever he has played he’s been our best defender. Yet now he is nowhere to be seen. Hopefully new manager sees his worth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughable Chimp Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) Whilst he technically was a Gerrard signing, he was always brought in to be a backup, nothing more. It didn’t matter how well he played and how badly our starters did, he was never going to be picked first. You could see similar things happening with a lot of different players. I know each manager tend to have their favorites but Gerrard was a bit ridiculous with it. Its like he never considered the actual performances the players put in, once he thought a player was worse than another, he never changed his mind. I also suspect that Gerrard chose his players whether to purchase or in the team selection almost entirely based on their reputation. Hence why the shift in focus to big name or more experienced players with extensive international pedigree. Poor old callum chambers who got let go on a free by his old club was never going to be looked fondly by gerrard Edited October 22, 2022 by Laughable Chimp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Technically our best defender and technically possibly better than McGinn Ramsay and Dendoncker. Has sold himself a bit easily at times as a defender but who hasn't in this team. So decent defender on par at least, best on the ball and a high pedigree from Arsenal. Stands to reason he's been frozen out by cockwomble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
