The guys a unit and a half. Got all the raw talent there to be a great CB, but does still look like he’s going to need a bit of time to work with Klopp and co until he really shows his true level. Hopefully fans give him the time to do this.

His nonchalant streak and confidence really remind me of Virgil. Just a very cool customer.

I liked his game today, he was marking 2 18 year old kids so im not gonna get carried away about it but encouraging. Fast strong and alert.

Well, he has just turned 22, and that is kindergarden age for a central defender. At that age, Van Dijk has joined Celtic from Groningen ...

The shoulder charge he did and the Mainz player just bounced off him in a tumble.

had a little chuckle at that move.

there was a moment when he misplaced a pass and just waited for the right moment to nick off the attackers foot in the next phase. its only pre season but his physicality already standing out.

Yeah but it's still very funny. I know he's nearer the camera than Robbo but Jesus H, he's a big 'un.
Wonder how Shanks would have warned the press about him?

Also, if you look closely at the pattern on the floor, you can see that Robertson is standing about 25 to 35 yards behind Konate.

Why is Konate holding three shoes?

abs-ibs · « **Reply #617 on:** July 27, 2021, 01:11:32 am »

I saw him playing for the first time against Mainz

Damn the kid is huge!!!! He almost looked twice the size of Matip (not height-wise before someone comes in with a bad joke)

The guy looked almost serene as he played. No panicking, no fuss.

Looking forward to watching him beast the Prem.

What the hell's a 'British name'? His name is Ibrahima Konate. He doesn't need a 'British name'.

just picking up on the VVD compariosons, funny how Ibouu & VVD were both strikers in their early years just like Jurgen. There is a theme right there

Think I've heard somewhere that Ajax only used to recruit strikers for the youth teams, because they were usually the stand out players in their teams and had enough pace.

I also read or heard that if they don't think they'll make the grade as strikers they push them to midfield and if they are not good there they become defenders.

Cf. the Gullit quote. "Goalkeepers are goalkeepers because they can't play."

Quality passing between the lines today.

he played more on the left side. But he did play a number of games on the right, and also centrally as part of a back 3.

Pre-season and all that, but his passing centrally through the lines was exquisite tonight.

Ghost Town · « **Reply #639 on:** August 9, 2021, 09:33:36 pm »

Good game. He looks twice the size of anyone on the pitch as well. Like walking through a forest of saplings and coming across the mighty oak
