The technique, distribution...compare and contrast to under Gerrard when his dribbling would make a toddler wince. And he would always play it square to Ty, abdicating responsibility for being progressive. Now he can de-fend, he can off-end, he doesn't need to up-end cos of his positioning and physical strength. The man must be part of God's plan - McGrath is surely looking-on with admiration (well I know he is, he tweeted his pride in the club last night).It’s really quite remarkable and I completely agree. I had seriously thought he had hit his ceiling. Where as with Dougie and Bailey and you could see they are extremely technically gifted, their form is not really a surprise, even though Bailey now looks world class, where as I often always believed Dougie had it in him.Konsa always was a very good defender but what he has added to his game is incredible and now looks completely composed and as comfortable on the ball as Torres.

Injury worse than first feared. Standard.
Aston Villa fear Ezri Konsa could be out for significant period with knee injuryAston Villa are sweating on the fitness of Ezri Konsa amid fears that the knee injury he suffered against Sheffield United could keep him out for a significant period.Konsa will almost certainly miss Villa’s next two games against Chelsea in the FA Cup on Wednesday night and Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday.But the defender could be out for even longer, possibly over a month, if Villa’s worst fears are confirmed following more tests and assessments which are due to take place.That would be a huge blow to Villa’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League, although Konsa is still being assessed and there remains the possibility that the club’s worst fears are not realised.Head coach Unai Emery will confirm the nature of Konsa’s injury on Tuesday, ahead of Wednesday night’s FA Cup fourth-round replay against Chelsea.
