Quote from: Clampy on June 24, 2020, 09:35:39 PMIt's his first season after making the step up to this division and overall, I think he's done ok. He's still got a lot to learn but I think he's worth persevering with.Yep, he has done okay but he has been part of a defence that has conceded all but 2 goals every game. So he does have a lot learn but I just wonder who out of current set up is he going to learn it from.

Newcastle can't score from the touchline but Gayle centrally can and Konsa was nearest to him.Agreed but then his man is wide open on the backpost as what happened for the first goal by Chelsea. Gayle could have played him in too.Konsa shares a degree of blame for the goal but less so than Luiz, Hause and Mings. Mings for me should shoulder the most blame out of them all, as didn't deal with Carroll or Saint-Maxime.Targett made a risible effort to deal with the throw in to start with. If you were being very harsh could Nyland have also been off his line quicker on Gayle. Is it any wonder we are where we are conceding goals like that when the entire back four, holding midfielder and possibly keeper are to blame. That Smith sought to publicly call out only one of them is diabolical.No that's all true. Ultimately that's what a relegation threatened team tends to do, look solid for an hour and then concede a cheap goal that several players could've stopped. Was same v Chelsea.

The amazing thing is he’s got his spot at CB because of an injury to another CB. We were playing with 3 CB’s, one at RB and two left footed ones at CB. We looked completely unbalanced. An unlucky injury and all of a sudden Konsa looks brilliant in his natural position and we look balanced with actual RB’s playing at RB. I applaud Dean if he gets us out of this but fuck me it shouldn’t take this to do what seems to be the obvious.
