GasPed Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 5 hours ago, jonovision said: Is he? If he had blasted the ball you could have made the argument for violent conduct, but not in this instance. Put it this way, "violent conduct" is very subjective, and when you have a beguiled ref along with the Academy-worthy performance of one RDP, the line between playful and violent can become quite blurry...

The Beaver 2.0 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Dare I ask it: Is Kone our best player (yet)? I mean, we all agree that if he continues to put up performances like this one, and the second game against the Argies, and the game against France, that he is our best player, right? I love Davies and David, and I think Staq is almost always our most important player, but Kone has the ability to blow past all of them. What an exciting player! h coach, costarg, Jack1997 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebdeserio Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 A roller coaster of a tournament for him. Awful group stage resulting in him not starting the Chile and Venezuela games, then the transfer gets settled, he comes on and scores his pen against Venezuela and shows a new level for the next 2 games.

That's been him at Watford really. Hopefully new situation lets the pure class show and makes him an everyday top midfielder. sebdeserio, Corazon and Grandbloke 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right? Marsch and others have raised the point that players need to experience being on the anvil to know how to be deal with being on that anvil. And he did. For the rest of his career, may it be long and prosperous, he'll bring with him the experience of having played his way onto the bench at the Copa Americas and then responded strongly enough to play his way back into the starting 11 and earning MoTM honours in his team's finale. And all that, in the space of 5 matches? That's how Lions are fashioned. Ottawafan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're Marseille, you're not looking to move him on. Big club trying to find a way to really contend again. This is the player you keep as long as you can in order to do so.

jhoops__ Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Let’s hope Ligue 1 gets a TV deal soon or we won’t be able to watch our guy. They’re not in Europe either so we’d be fucked all around. narduch and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apbsmith Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 French speaking kid and a super nice young man. Met him in Montréal, he's going to feel so at home in Marseille compared to Watford and in a fantastic development program. Long ways to go still for him, consistency will be key, but very bright future. Very excited and happy for him, kid works so hard.

I love how he has that little bit of swagger to and performances to back it up. Marseille will be a very hot place (especially with their Ultras); hope he keeps his head and makes them love him.

PastPros Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Marsch had interesting comments about him in the post-game press conference. (Paraphrasing) He said Kone is carrying a lot of guilt about the missed penalty and that, in general, Kone is very hard on himself. Kone is likely the type of person who is never satisfied with their performance and always thinks they can be better. apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right when he stepped up I felt he would try to replicate his last penalty and Rochet obviously had it read. Should have just put his laces through it. h coach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGAA_Star Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 His penalty in the shootout...I still can't get over why he would stutter step like that. The goalkeeper will easily be able to figure out what way he would go by him doing that. He should have went for power. Ottawafan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he didn't but Rochet is a much different goalkeeper compared to Romo and on Rochet, you cannot do that. longlugan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
