It beggars belief for me when people watch the Villa defense over the last couple of seasons and then pick out Pao Torres as the weak Link
He’s the only central defender we’ve got that can actually control the football and then move forward progressively with it and try and create something through the midfield
Yeah, he gives the ball away sometimes because he’s going forward unlike Konsa who’s always going backwards,
Mings and Konsa slow the game down and play that walking football stuff that everyone moans about
Konsa in particular has average technical ability at best, and has no clue what to do with it most of the time so a sideways pass or a roll of the ball with his foot a look round Maldini style before turning and slowly passing the ball back to the goalkeeper is what keeps his passing stats at 90%
And I love Percy, but I’m not interested in his fucking stats on this one because we let millions of goals and no matter who plays
Torres isn’t physically enough, Konsa is a soft as fuck, goes down with the slightest tap spends most of the game on his arse pleading for free kicks, which he very often gets because he’s got it off to a fine art,
The bloke is a liability his positional sense is woeful, his technical ability on the ball is substandard, he gets bullied too often. I don’t get what people seeing him., a Rolls-Royce of a defender you’re having a laugh
He gets away with absolute murder on here
I know yesterday was a friendly but he made a big mistake Cost us a goal, Everyone’s blaming the defense when it was his fault 100%
The Mings Konsa partnership is too old-fashioned they’re just not good enough footballers for both of them to play out from the back because they can’t do it, people say we’re fannying about, yeah but if you can’t pass the ball that’s what happens
For me Konsa’s positives are he’s scored some important and decent goals and can be dangerous from corners, also seems to have a decent shot in front of goal
And he can run alongside a defender and see him to touch and out of Danger He’s not too bad at that.
But he gets a rinsed far too often, and him Bailey and Ramsey are the softest lads We’ve got in the team and Watkins for that matter, just get the fuck up and play the game
