Wonderful calmness to his game without that flaw of looking too casual/relaxed that a lot of young players have

Lofty Ambitions · « **Reply #361 on:** October 6, 2023, 05:01:10 pm »

What a solid display from him again, almost like he's been doing this for all of his life (He has)

think that is a plus point for a defender isn't it. i didnt think van dijk was any good when i watched him with the saints. hardly any highlights of blockbuster sliding tackles and looks way to casual. didn't think maldini and nesta was any good either. they have defending down to an artform.

Yeah, I agree, it's a good thing. His development is definitely on the right track, and I hope he stays clear of injuries.

but he could decide to play for Ghana, I believe?

The thing is, if you'd said we were playing a youngster from the squad in the first team at the beginning og the season I would have been worried. When I see his name on the team sheet I worry no more (possibly less) than when I see Gomez or Matip, he's that good.

He does look the real deal. Looks like he reads the game brilliantly for the experience he has. Don't think he has the pace of some of the other lads but he's far from slow.

He's not exactly slow though and as you alluded to, if he has the positioning sense then it'll not hold him back.

Black Bull Nova · « **Reply #368 on:** October 7, 2023, 01:01:02 am »

Most centre halves peak later, just think of his potential

Not at all and we are blessed with very fast lads in that position. For example if you threw him into a Liverpool side of 10/15 years ago he'd probably be the fastest.

Carragher and Hyypia didn't even seem particularly slow compared to their peers, and Agger seemed like a speed demon compared to them

Can be skewed a bit by the systems they played in. Under Houllier in particular we were generally very deep denying space in behind. If opponents did get in behind, Sami and Jamie were generally quick enough to recover over short distances in and around the box. Had they been asked to defend on half way like Jurgen’s boys do, it would have been a calamity.

Knight · « **Reply #372 on:** October 7, 2023, 10:00:18 am »

They were both very slow. Incredible defenders. But slow.

Let's hope not, we'd probably lose him for AFCON for years to come.

Konate and 'The Q' were excellent on Thursday, looking forward to seeing his next performances, presumably in the Europa League and probably the Bournemouth cup game, he looks the part already in the squad.

U21 debut for England now so not heading to Ghana just yet. Baby Virg making great strides

pathetic · « **Reply #375 on:** October 13, 2023, 01:23:42 pm »

Seems to have a good head on his shoulders. I thought he was just gonna be a preseason appearance for him but I'm glad I was wrong.

disgraced cake · « **Reply #376 on:** October 13, 2023, 02:08:13 pm »

Hope he sticks with England, much more chance of him playing for Ghana and therefore being lost to AFCON.

I hope he joins us in Scotland, meaning he will get all his summers off (barring this purple patch we're under)!

how did he do in the game? anyone watch it?

I know the oppo was poor, but that's fine with me at this stage of his development.

Funky_Gibbons · « **Reply #379 on:** November 1, 2023, 09:39:29 pm »

What a performance in those conditions.

He was fantastic.

Colwill who?

Incredible. Glad the Colwell deal didn’t come to pass, this lad is brilliant.

Dim Glas · « **Reply #384 on:** November 1, 2023, 09:40:44 pm »

Dealt with the conditions better than most!

Very timely header right at the end there. He’s so composed.

Clint Eastwood · « **Reply #385 on:** November 1, 2023, 09:41:02 pm »

Difficult conditions for a CB, especially with the keeper clearly struggling. But he was faultless and composed throughout. Really impressed with him this season.

Draex · « **Reply #386 on:** November 1, 2023, 09:41:26 pm »

He's so mature for so young, so calm. Such a talent.

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #387 on:** November 1, 2023, 09:41:30 pm »

Get this lad playing more footy because he is going to be a star

Outstanding performance tonight

Fromola · « **Reply #390 on:** November 1, 2023, 09:42:43 pm »

Nat Phillips type job in terms of out-and-out defending (blocks, tackles, aerial dominance etc) but he's got a lot more to his game as well.

In those conditions that's exactly what we needed.

rawcusk8 · « **Reply #391 on:** November 1, 2023, 09:42:46 pm »

Definitely on to something with this lad, so good and still only 20

tubby · « **Reply #392 on:** November 1, 2023, 09:43:39 pm »

Really good tonight. Could be a bit more decisive in certain moments but that will come with experience.

Dealt with the conditions brilliantly.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #393 on:** November 1, 2023, 09:44:59 pm »

Absolute blinder from the young lad tonight my man of the match.

He's going to go a long way.

PEG2K · « **Reply #395 on:** November 1, 2023, 09:46:42 pm »

Do we really need to buy another CB now? Honestly if you just watch the performances of all of our CBs from the beginning of the season, well sure Quansah's play style is different, but you can't tell his level is much lower than any of the other 3, if at all.

Are you referring to his Cruyff turn?

duvva 💅 · « **Reply #397 on:** November 1, 2023, 09:47:10 pm »

I think the need for a young world class CB has been dissipated somewhat by this lads emergence. He looks better than anything you could buy for under £50-60m

farawayred · « **Reply #398 on:** November 1, 2023, 09:47:13 pm »

On top of his obvious skills on display, he plays with the composure of a senior player, brilliant showing from Quansah.

Angelius · « **Reply #399 on:** November 1, 2023, 09:47:45 pm »

Didn't watch the second half but was struck by how comfortable and brave he was in stepping forward with the ball to try to create options. He was stepping into pressure and tight areas and finding a way through (most of the time) to break Bournemoth's high press. Very impressive in addition to his obvious defensive qualities.

Obviously he's very young and conditions were horrendous today so everything wasn't perfect but what a performance by the big man nonetheless. Really impressive for me.
