Konchesky - thought he a good a debut.... but hasn't been much cop since

[floyd the barber]

*errr what happend with the title!! it should of course read " thought he had a good debut!!"

 

 

 

Honestly though he had a decent game, 1st half he looked a little nervous...2nd half and much better! made some decent challenges at the back..dont remember much getting past him, also nice turn and cross halfway through 2nd half..

Promising after all the abuse he has already taken on here! lets hope he can prove many wrong..............and hope the knock he got wasnt too serious.

Lovely little chip for Gerrard to run on to towards the end and a few nice little touches around the same time. Did he play well before that?

[Tones]

Too many crosses got in from his side i thought.

[Sion]

Looked ok going forward, a mess at the back.

[CarraLegend]

Thought he was decent on the ball but s*** defensively

[Chili Palmer]

I don't think you could use the word 'Good' to descibe anything in that match, unless putting 'That Pepe is f***ing...' before it

[McBain]

Looked ok going forward, a mess at the back.

 

He's the white Glenda

[MikeK88]

Thought he was OK for a first game - needs to close down crosses though, put in a few good ones for us - just a shame none of our players knew they could run into the box

[Gerrardrules]

He's the white Glenda

 

That's just depressing when you realize it's true.

[Epic Swindle]

Shaky start, which is natural when trying to bed into a new defence, but much improved second half. Played some cracking through balls and was always available on the outside.

[5InIstanbul]

He was dreadful. Reina saved his a*** big time. What game were you watching?

[Stevie H]

he's where we're at.

[Hassony]

so no real improvement on Insua who was leading the assists table for a leftback last season

[Eiler99]

Looked good going forward which surprised me. The one positive surprise today, so that counts for something.

 

He was really poor defensively though and Brum seemed to target him and had an easy time putting in crosses from that side. After he went off injured they seemed to switch their attention to Johnson which didn't exactly make things better for us.

 

It looks like we could be in for another season of opponents targetting our left back. Hopefully it was just nerves though and he'll improve defensively as he gets to know his team mates.

[David Hodgson]

Had a good game, got no cover at the back.

[5InIstanbul]

Had a good game, got no cover at the back.

[MFletcher]

Lamentable from a defensive perspective.

[Spion kop]

brought some much needed balance to our back four, without Mascherano covering our centre back pairings who so lack pace are far more exposed.

[Chili Palmer]

Had a good game, got no cover at the back.

 

 

ahhh come on!

[D.Boon]

Thought he was solid, much better than Johnson going forward, looked understandably a touch hesitant at the back. I think he will be a good signing.

[Tones]

Far too much got past him. Too many crosses coming in from that side.

[Red Kent]

Did nothing fancy, put in a few tackles when needed. Made the odd ricket but all in all a promising debut ruined by going off injured.

[Falconhoof]

He was OK. the very definition of 6/10.

 

Others, who should be fighting for their chance to stay at the club were below 6/10 though.

[Crazy Horse]

Looked ok going forward, a mess at the back.

 

'A mess' is harsh but yes, it was pretty much the opposite of what I was expecting. But still much better than the fella at right full back.

[Mike]

 

jovanovic gave him no cover at all at the back and no outlet going forward, he was very exposed. showed some nice touches going forward and he played pretty well.
