gator Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 The Hornets didn't look good at Loftus Rd today, that was QPR's first home win in something like 140 days, it was feared Watford would come in and get the new manager bounce, the QPR keeper didn't have a save to make, maybe Kone should have been given a chance!

Shway Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Now that’s what I would call an expected assist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 showed some speed and toughness to bull his way past his marker and get into the box for a feather pass to the goal scorer.

The Beaver 2.0 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Nice run by Kone. Great pace and strength on the ball, and a solid assist. The gaffer will certainly take note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gaffer will certainly take note. Also great cut in with the ball to go around the defender and put him between the defender and the ball that made for an easy pass. Many players would continue to push the ball forward and then cross which would give the defender the chance to block the cross and would make the cross more difficult to excecute. johnyb and The Beaver 2.0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigi riva Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I think it will be wise for him to stay at Watford for one more year before making the move to Udinese king1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can do everything your typical 8 can do, but looks like a winger at times too. His burst is really impressive for an 8.

His spatial awareness is off the charts. He sees and uses the space so quickly, and the way he protects the ball is so impressive. Its like he studied each of Wanyama's tricks. You'd think he just absobs information and muscle memory. My money is on this guy to soar really high.

Obinna Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 The one soccer guys were talking about how they expect a 4-4-2 in their prediction video. Having Kone and Eustaquio make such a midfield possible, I think. Both of these guys have big range and can get around the park. They are both two-way players as well. We've heard Galindo talk about how Kone has improved his defense at Watford. Eustaquio obviously has no troubles defensively. Both have offensive capabilities as well, as we've seen this season. At the World Cup, I think Herdman was hesitant to start Kone, but now I think he'll get unleashed. Honduras and Curacao are no Belgium, Croatia or Morocco. Kone is now a World Cup vet and doing well in the Championship with Watford. I think him and Stach pair up in the midfield. Kone is ready....

Assuming he doesn’t completely stall out, he should be a core piece of our midfield for a decade - and should be in prime form for 2026. And everything about him - attitude, skillset and physique - suggests he won’t stall but will continue to progress.
