Playing out from the keeper. Terrifying to see us do it.

Especially when that keeper is Olsen.

Fucking hell we are SO risky with this playing it out from the keeper stuff.

I know it's a half-arsed friendly, but it is still terrifying.

What happened with the injury?

We were fuckign about at the back (for a change), Konsa had the ball, Broja went in to tackle and hurt himself. Some quite unpleasant, loud screams, five minutes of treatment on the ground and then stretchered off.

You can't read too much into this, it's being played at walking pace.

And we're not struggling enough to not be winning, obvs!

That Broja injury looked horrible, but only slightly less horrible looking was the way Konsa was ambling around with the ball totally unaware he was there, literally inches from the goal line when he went in for the tackle.

Good performance and result today, but fuck me, some of that casual arseing around with the ball following short passes from the keeper is going to get absolutely exploited if it goes on in the PL.

I don’t think Mings or Konsa have long term futures under Emery. Neither are overly comfortable playing it out of defence. I thought Konsa might be given how he started his career with us but he can be every bit as a careless as Mings.

On what Vinnie said here yesterday or the day before, Emery really really wants Pau Torres, and I totally understand why.

Agreed, plus it's not good for the heart. One of the things I noticed about France last night was that while they often zipped the ball around nice and crisply in defence, on many occasions Lloris was quite happy to launch it long rather than invite calamity by sticking rigidly to the 'pass it out from the back' mantra.

My only hope this way is that Diego comes back and becomes the sweeper.  Mings distribution is too slow

Konza was never good enough and having seen chambers recently neither is he.

A little unfair. Konsa was indicating to Olsen to come and clear. Olsen was just staring and going "Dddduuuuuuhhhhhh". Konsa was aware Borja was there though as he then made the decision to turn away with the ball once he realised Olsen was staring at a butterfly, hence the injury,

Although I do agree that the players we have, dithering like that at the back will cause issues.
