Corky Posted 20 August 2011 Share Posted 20 August 2011 He can't cross at all, but he can defend. Far better at that than PVA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EverybodyDannsNow Posted 20 August 2011 Share Posted 20 August 2011 He's been alrite for most the season, but yes today he was an absolute train-wreck at left back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yojoe36 Posted 20 August 2011 Share Posted 20 August 2011 He's crap! How the hell did we end up paying money for him? Do we still have the receipt, can we return him? He was decent today. Clearly you didn't go. Or Stringer failed at commentary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shen Posted 20 August 2011 Share Posted 20 August 2011 Up until the penalty, we were quality and not a single player on that pitch put a bad performance in including Konchesky. He supported attacks well and defended stoutly until towards the end when he began to get a bit tired and we were down to 10 men. I am a fan of the Konch. We started creaking quite a bit before the penalty, and this was largely due to Konchesky/left side of defense. Granted we didn't do ourselves any favours by inviting them, but they found a way through against him time and again. They completely gave up going down Pantsil's side as he had his man in the pocket nearly all game, which makes it quite ironic that the equalizer came from his side. I think Konchesky will be an asset for us, but he didn't have that great a game today IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Posted 20 August 2011 Share Posted 20 August 2011 Absolute quality today when he came out for the second half some of the forest gumps started winding it into him, He just stood there and showed them 2-0 with his hands and they looked mortified. Shut them right up, Class act Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpet Posted 20 August 2011 Share Posted 20 August 2011 Load of rubbish. He had a good game today and even got forward at times. He wound the forest fans up too and was told to calm down by the lineo. E 8s forest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkyrobot Posted 20 August 2011 Share Posted 20 August 2011 Well if Van Aanholt put in a performance like that today he'd have been slaughtered.. I applaud your blind optimism. Agreed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarFox Posted 20 August 2011 Share Posted 20 August 2011 I think Paul Konchesky has played really well in all 4 league games. He looked a little tired at 70min today but you can't blame the guy. Sven should have sub'd him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam95581 Posted 20 August 2011 Share Posted 20 August 2011 He's playing in a team which hasn't been playing too well collectively and is coming off the back of a poor season individually! Give him a chance!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MattP Posted 20 August 2011 Share Posted 20 August 2011 He isnt a pub player, granted he appears to be a player we have overpayed for again but "pub player" is insulting to a man who has played in a UEFA cup final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MattP Posted 20 August 2011 Share Posted 20 August 2011 we paid £1.5m for him that's a bargain I'll judge that at the end of season. He's 30+ and was loaned out to the championship last year, you cant value him at too much more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc_jme Posted 20 August 2011 Share Posted 20 August 2011 Didn't have a bad game at all. All of our starters were good today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shen Posted 20 August 2011 Share Posted 20 August 2011 Didn't have a bad game at all. All of our starters were good today. I'm quite amazed at how wildly the opinions on his performance vary today. He looked good/untroubled for the whole first hour, but the last 30 minutes were painful to watch. He was outwitted, outmuscled, outpaced to the point where Forest had shifted the entire focus of their play onto his flank. For their peno, two Forest players ran into the space behind him as he was dangerously pushing up to half way line and not getting the ball or tackling it into touch. A catalogue of errors/bad luck ensued: Why was Danns not covering? Wellens tracks back and fouls their player, who wasn't even the ball carrier and then the Mills handball. Symptomatically, even though he was arguably fouled, he was at the heart again for their equalizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate your point but actually having been at the game and seen his performance live - not on a stream - he did as much as could have been expected from him in my opinion. With such a narrow midfield he's always going to get exposed when the opposition stretch the game, and I think Danns has to take as much of the blame as Konchesky for this today seeing as he was playing on that side of our midfield - as you've alluded to. If we were playing a 4-4-2, Konchesky would look quality at this level. We can't play a high-tempo, full-on-pressure game and expect the full-backs to bomb-on without ever being caught out of position. It simply does not happen, regardless of what level the team is at.

easilee Posted 21 August 2011 Share Posted 21 August 2011 We had 10 men by this stage. Do people expect him to get a new burst of energy for the last half hour? Fvckwits the lot of ya.

I wasn't complaining that Konchesky wasn't bombing forward. We sat back for most of the second half, especially after the hour mark, and he just looked weak defensively, unlike Pantsil who was strong and decisive in his defensive actions. I know it's not quite fair singling out Konchesky today, as it wasn't his fault we retreated as much as we did, or even that his teammates couldn't offer the needed support when Forest kept probing, but his mistakes were apparent today. I believe he'll be good for us though in the course of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
