One of the most underrated players in the prem. Never less than a 7/10 every week.

[TomHancox-qegd]

I love this dude, really stepped up since Mings got injured. A BIG reason we're doing so well. UTV

[mcalpha]

He fully deserves to play in the Champions League. Has barely put a foot wrong since he first put on a Villa shirt. Top class attitude as well, something that I've always liked about him.

[RayzaNC]

If he stays at the club he will become a legend and one of our greatest players, what a signing he's been, Mr Consistent. Seems like a nice humble guy too.

[Sank]

Konsa is one player at Villa that has improved massively on the ball, from playing out from the back and passing ability. And ground duels he is phenomenal. Top player. 👌

[QuentinKarentino]

Been with us for years and I can't think of a time I've ever wanted him out the starting 11. Love him. 💜🦁

[PSON]

His improvement from signing under Deano to where he is now is incredible. 12 mil was a great deal for him, become a proper leader and very versatile player. So happy for his success

[LteasAVFC]

The villa are killing it at the minute

[DominicJenx]

Another leader on the pitch. Loved him from the get go - real smart, has a good pass and can run with the ball. Nice he gets the odd goal too.

[leerobbins]

Konsa has grown so much since Emery came in it's amazing too see

[JPB]

Love Konsa. Has improved every year, seems totally dedicated to his job and is reaping the rewards. Hope he stays another 5 years + at Villa

[darrenwoolley]

I love Ezri Konza he's just brilliant for us. UTV

[ulfanfinneriksen]

Cool to see Aston Villa in the champions league. Been awhile.

[howardbradley]

Most underrated Prem CB. Just look at his stats. So so dominant and has been the leader in Villa's defence in their 2 most succesful seasons in recent decades.

[MrTim]

Such an underrated defender, he’s composed, quick, impossible to dribble past, and can pass well. A bonafide RR.

[danielhughes]

Since this dude joined he has been great for Villa. Proper royals Royce of a player who never puts a foot wrong. One of the best defenders in the league and so Underrated. Glad his getting the recognition he deserves with his England call ups of late. Keep it up ez, UTV

[AllixCS]

I have criticized the interviewers and their questions on SKY before, but credit where it's due. Here I thought the interviewer obviously prepped really well and knows her stuff. More of this please! Good job!

[Paratus]

Finally a female interviewer who has done some prep work before the interview, who doesn’t look like she is chatting to a footballer in some cocktail bar and who doesn’t ask pathetic questions like ‘what is your favourite meal’. Nicely done; a very good interview. Made Ezra think which is what it is all about. Message to Villa TV; take note of what a good female interviewer looks like!

[charlesapana]

Such a reliable defender can play center back and right back as well

[ydiafol]

Ill never forget a couple years ago on fifa, Konsa was one of my star players and refused to sign a new contract, leaving on a free to Everton 😭
