Tomaszk Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Having him here will kick Konsa on to another level as well I think. Ezri has the ability to carry the ball like Torres, but it's just not how you're brought up to play as a defender. They can learn from each other actually. Konsa isn't a huge guy like Mings or Carlos but very rarely gets bullied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted August 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2023 He was drawn to the ball after Dignes lost his man and that allowed a free header, this gave the Burnley player the space and time to turn. This defense has 2 games experience of playing together, 1 1/2 if you include Olsen in that equation, once Moreno is fit it will change again. Its a work in progress.. From what i have seen, Konsa, Carlos and Torres have a big future together and we are very lucky to have them with Mings getting injured. Torres passes are a massive benefit to us, when teams use a high press they get drawn out, once the movement up front starts to learn where to run for his passes we will see those benefits. Give them half a season together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anything11 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Its important to remember Pau has held his own against Barcelona/Real Madrid for years - he didn't suddenly get bad at defending after joining the PL the defence works as a unit and requires trust and confidence and the players are building that. there will be bumps and moments of hesitation like we saw against burnley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one_ian_taylor Posted August 31, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 31, 2023 Funny kind of player- clearly will be very important to how we play out and a good organiser, but weirdly ungainly at times and feels like he has a few errors in him. Very hard to get the ball off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His passing is great but its also super laid back. Its like having Berbatov popping passes about 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) Coming to Villa gets you in to, or back into, the Spain (Pau), Brazil (Coutinho, Dougie, Wes !), France (Kamara) and Argentina (Martinez) squads.

What a time to be alive Whilst technically true, I don't think we can claim any of the Brazil, France, or Spain ones. Dougie hasn't been picked for a while now, and the others already had their appearances before us. Kamara even made 3 appearances before joining us but none since.

M_Afro Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Fantastic article with Pau in the Times today. From reading it, you can really see why Unai loves him. He comes across as a really thoughtful and intelligent young man. It seems that he is almost as obsessed as Unai when it comes to analysing his own performances. He seems to have real integrity too. I suspect he will go on to captain us at some stage. Fantastic signing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathetic if they do, unfortunate that he’s been thrown in at the deep end due to injuries and now with Carlos injured unsettling thing further. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 That was a bad half, Nunez has him on toast the mistake for the corner is what it is, we shouldn't do it as a team, he had Digne on with a difficult pass and that's about it, it's passing for passings sake when martinez should just launch it, Nunez read it perfectly More concerning was the two runs Nunez left him for dead, the 2nd goal is worse (the hitting the bar I have sympathy because the offside rule is broken) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
