Carrying and passing the ball into the final third is his strengths so I imagine so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won three headers too which was often a point made that he bad in the air. Still not sure if he starts that first game though? Assuming Konsa is fit I’d start Konsa and Mings. They were brilliant in the run in last season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some nice passes though which is one of the reasons we signed him and he'll be regular CB soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reivax_Villa Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 He's not a left back.. Cool experiment.. but he will get exposed against better quality.. Very good player though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khizzy Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Couldn't quite tell but I don't know if he got caught out for the first goal before Konsa gave away the pen. He's definitely not a LB, don't want to see him played there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play Moreno and Cash and tell them both to bomb forward. Attack is the best defence I say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how some see the game differently, he seemed to be playing left sided centre back from my perspective 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Its only a friendly but Brentford exposed everything i was worried about today. Outmuscled and outpaced on more than one occasion Mings cleaned up his mess 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny_Villaman84 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I notice these some of you say he plays left back which in my opinion and I think the experiment was 3 centre half (3-4-2-1) from the start. more like this ----------Konsa-----Mings-----Torres------- Cash---------Luiz--------Kamara-------McGinn <JPB> ------------------Diaby-------JPB<MGinn>----------- --------------------------Watkins------------------------- Water break I think they switch around JPB and McGinn. I think we should give Dignes a LWB role; from the beginning of the play it might offer a better choice. To be honest I like this formation but the high line is dangerous for exploiting our wide if one of our wide too far, also speard 3 centre half so take 1 or 2 take in between gap to running through will more dangerous which the reason konsa foul pen first place. second goal - beautiful goal be fair; the problem is one side was go attack left no cover and win ball and to pass that how plenty area and torres try to stop but he is bit gap which should left back to mark and centre midfield to support. that is why I am a fan of 4 backlines general playing on the safe side; whereas the attack phase 3 centre half is more sense to extra man in midfield and attack wide.

In defence he was the left of a back four and slid across to a back three with cash pushing up when in possession. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
