alreadyexists Posted March 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 6, 2022 That pass to Coutinho was incredibly difficult to time correctly and to get so perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughable Chimp Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) People told me we wouldn't be able to get anyone to challenge Mings or Konsa unless we spent big money. Yet Chambers is seriously threatening Konsa's position now and he cost nothing. Edited March 6, 2022 by Laughable Chimp 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Spots his for now. He's actually braver than Konsa on the ball for me. Konsa had this mythical ball playing tag when he never ever ever steps out or passes through the lines. Anyway. He's a good watch. Still sells himself too easily and goes to ground wanting to make that all action last ditch last tackle but he's been pleasantly surprising on the whole.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) I never even realised it was him who made that pass initially, it was that brilliant. I assumed it was one of the midfielders! Stream was choppy. Edited March 6, 2022 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think chambers is quite tall enough to be honest. but he’s undoubtedly better on the ball. None of our centre backs and potentially not many of our CMs would have even attempted that pass let alone executed perfectly. Adds further weight that he could play a role as a CDM 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really impressed with Chambers tbh, i really think he could play the Dm role, at least until the summer where we will "hopefully" fix the DM position.

Fair- don’t know what it is but he just looks less aerially dominant. Maybe his leap isn’t as good as konsas. In any case we’re agreeing on the substantive point re him playing CDM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to much difference between him or Konsa (Konsa slightly better) but should be his position to lose after yesterday’s performance.

VillaParkAvenue Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Chambers won’t play DM, forget that. He’s not that impressive when it comes to pure defending, but very comfortable on the ball which is a huge plus if we ever want to be able to control games. Mings is decent on the ball himself and him and Chambers together look like a pretty good CB pairing. Maybe not for games where Villa expect to be under constant attack though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubliner Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 A far more comfortable ball player than I ever gave him credit for. An excellent addition to the squad and a much more reliable deputy than Hause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Really was something that pass. He'll force Konsa to be better, which is great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, you mean we shouldn’t try to shoe horn a centre back with good feet into a midfield role as if it’s remotely the same skill? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wict01 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Thought he was excellent Saturday. Did the simple things very very well, and what a pass for the second goal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Seems to be an upgrade on Tuanzebe and could prove to be a very decent squad player. We have had made a lot worse signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichW Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Initially when we signed him I thought it was a "meh" signing, hoping with a bit of luck Konsa wouldn't get injured/suspended much so would hardly have to see him but was impressed with his performance the weekend and that pass was disgusting. Expect to see Konsa back in the starting 11 against Leeds provided his recovered from COVID but it's good to have competition for places now.
