thunderball Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Delighted to see him yesterday, I know it was brief and sounds hard on Konsa, but he offered much more offensively. Really hope he plays these final 3 games. I reckon he starts next Saturday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way no one gets " dropped ", well aside from Ash obviously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was nice to see Carlos out there again, he’s only made about 3 starts for us hasn’t he or something ridiculous like that Edited May 7, 2023 by burchy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 He’s got so much ping in his passing he hardly needs a back lift. That cross to Ollie was delicious if only someone ran off Ollie just before he headed it they would have had a tap in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Arsenal have been playing Ben White all season at fullback, so don't see why konsa can't do it he has done it before if it means getting Carlos alongside Mings, but saying that Konsa has been very impressive alongside Mings, specially defensively where Carlos would give you an upgrade would be his passing, & that would add to the way we play out from the back. But would you put Konsa at fullback over Ashley or Cash when fit ? It's a nice problem to have for a change, but yep Diego Carlos looks a player even in the very limited time we've seen him play, so glad he is back from his really bad injury & looking in great shape, be interesting if we do add another centre back in the summer, specially with the form of Konsa under Emery.

You can’t knock the Mings & Konsa defensive record post Leicester, I just think Carlos & Mings gives us more control and versatility. Its small percentages that make the difference at this level. incidentally, I think Ben White has been stand-out excellent this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Konsa is good defensively but provides very limited progression with his passing or threat from set pieces. He also doesn’t appear to be a leader in the group. He’d be a fantastic second choice CB to have in the squad but Carlos will jump him in the summer. We need a fourth CB but maybe the new RB can cover both positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 30 year old centre back out for nearly a season with an injury that severely hampers acceleration and spring to start his first game back at right back. Yeah that's not going to happen. It's not his position. He's the wrong side of 30 for it regardless. His mobility with forever be comprised by the achilles tear. He isn't running up and down any line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Konsa will give us a bit more security at the back post with high balls.....particularly from set pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konsa also has that ability of being difficult to dribble around and has a knack of winning a free-kick. Think he'd do well at RB. Carlos (if fit) has to start the remaining games, an extra dimension in passing and aerial presence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
