Farlz Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I think DC always had a bit of a rep for being a calamity merchant at times with Sevilla, I just think that's how he is. Obviously injury won't have helped at all and it's gonna take time to properly get back to top levels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Will be some time before we see him in prem games I think. Has the telltale signs of someone coming back from injury and not fully trusting the Achilles. Shortened stride and didn’t push himself too hard. Important to be patient with him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Of course he ia going to be ruaty. He has played less than a hour of competitive football in the last 9 months and he only played a few games with us. Lets gove him time 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marka Ragnos Posted July 24, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2023 I was a bit more impressed than most others on VT --- take that as you will. I saw positive aggression and at least one superb progressive pass and -- am I mistaken? -- a shot on goal? He seemed like someone who was testing himself more and more.

Craigy1874 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 To be fair it has been a while since we had a complete maniac on the pitch, I am all for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings and konsa are so well drilled in our set up I think it Torres starts it’s in place of one of them. Carlos will take time 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im all for having 4 good centre half’s but we’re just probably not quite at that level yet. I’d rather have a top quality right back starting and Chambers as 4th choice. 4 good CB'S. For the first time in a long time. Why would we want to sell him? Times have changed; we have wealthy, ambitious owners; we don't need to move a player on to buy another. The owners will be more interested in having a SQUAD to take us to where they want us to be than counting the pennies ala Doug Ellis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure the club would love to bring in another 3/4 players but will be hamstrung by FFP. Sure, we have money but we’re not above having to sell to buy to a certain extent.

I think 99.99% of CBs are labelled as either gaffe prone or too passive. Mings and DC are more in the first category because they try to take control of play, Konsa is more in the second category, doesn’t make obvious howlers but sometimes avoids responsibility. It’s only the elite world class CBs who avoid these labels. I think so far Emery has shown he’s very good at sanding down those edges. He’s made Mings into a tidier player and he’s made Konsa more imposing. So I’m sure DC will be fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Looks a monster on the pitch can see him getting the odd red card this season a no nonsense centre half that can play .... left some bodies out there last night loves a diagonal ball & looks quick. Really think Emery is pairing him with Torres till they both get upto speed, Mings & Konsa will be our centre back pairing to start the season, did so well last season & don't see it changing until Carlos or Torres are fully up to speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR is fine. It’s how these idiots use it sometimes that infuriate people. Carlos looks rusty which is understandable. Needs more game time.
