I love this man.
❤
Love this man…..when he is in the team always feel confidence….
He's crucial, needs a rest Brentford was tough.
Ibou is Always smiling, he has a great character and is a great human plus a rock solid defender. YNWA
Konate is the most underappreciated player…. He is literally playing at a world class level 🔥…. Man of the match performance against Brentford….. So glad to have a player like him in the team
Future captain?
Maybe he has to be rested.
Did he learn English at school? Very fluent for a French
die for the team…. gerrard regen, or am i reaching?
He seems like a top fella…really good player, hopefully he can stay fit along with Virgil
This guy's the bee's knee’s
Top Lad Ibouuuuuu!
such a brilliant stroke putting hin in front of camera. makes me love LFC all the more
🎉 we hear the journos now. Thanks media team!
Upamecano and Konate were both at Leipzig. Both got sold for similar amounts of money around the same time. Liverpool definitely made the right decision and got their guy. What a player.
It looks like each time Ibu walks in the club, every player starts smiling! he bring a happy vibe in the group. I saw him and Nunez joking about after the match! Good fella this!
I would die for this team . fairplay that's strong words .
This lad will be the best centre half in the world
The future is great for Konate
. Very Determined guy❤❤
A very nice human! Thanks Konate for playing for Liverpool, for playing for us!
Konate is the most underrated player
Lovely guy, lovely player…..
Ibou has a big personality on and off the pitch, absolutely love the lad
The lad has been low balled with his contract wages massively.. they probably fed him some BS about being the first defender to go to the moon for an intergalactic match against Elon Musk's cousin's out there.. we really want FSG OUT, THEY ARE ROTTING THE CLUB!
He definitely brings out the best of Trent, when he doesn’t play Liverpool right side looks different.
lfc always one player away from being well short,,7 out last window ,only 1 in,after a season we "needed" the kids = FSG cheap
Ibuuuuuuuuuuu! ❤️
Speaks so well and would die for the club! 🫡
What a player and a great example of a pro.
YNWA ❤️
Has a lovely sense of humour this young man. Loves his team mates and his team mates love his impish grin. Continue de sourire, Ibou ! ❤❤❤ YNWA.
The best French centre half in world football right now. IBOUUUUUUUUUUU
Yep he's off. VVD, Salah, Trent, Kelleher, Gomez, Diaz, Nunez all gone in the summer
He will learn so much playing next to VVD day in , day out , he will become one of , if not the best CB in world football , massive part of our future , just hope he stays with us ….. absolute wall 👊
What a class guy. A real character.
Ibou Konate is a top professional we are better when he`s in the team, he`s such a strong defender and has more pace than you`d think for his size , "I would Die for the club" Thats the kinda guy you want in your team , big respect for that …..
He is the future of liverpool
FSG are an absolute disgrace… Billionaires who won't spend to bring top talent in and won't spend to keep it here.
We're going to end up fielding our u21's next season
Ibu has been so good this season. Seems like a top lad as well. Love him to bits.
IBOU is a consummate & passionate professional. Quite speedy & beastly. A simple lad who emits positive vibes in the dressing room with his kinda shy smile & great sense of humour. He is determined to give his all for this club. Pray our steamroller stays injury free till the end🤣
"When Joe got injured, I knew I had to stand up! (Paraphrasing).
Brilliant mentality… YNWA
The owners are ruining the club. Extending the contracts of our three key players, or at least two of them, would go a long way in convincing others to commit their future. It would show that the owners are serious about competing at the top and staying there. But with no new signings and no updates on contract extensions for Mo, VVD, and Trent, it’s hard to see that commitment.
They should rest him.
Obviously Liverpool's offer wasn't good enough, fourth bad offer in a row Ibu, VVD, Salah, TAA… how bad is this gonna get?
Liverpool offered shit wages. Liverpool players never sign new contracts lately
"I can die for this team" ❤❤❤
Ibuuuuuuuuu! We the reds love you!
Nice one Ibou give the shitrag press another contract to bang on about. Great thinking mate whilst we try focus on a title charge.
Sometimes he scares me, when he push out opponents in penalty box with his body. Otherwise a monster of a central defender , very contrasting style to VVD
He covers so much ground, i feel he's doing more defending than Dijk
A proper warrior.I play with the pain
Ibu is a joker very light hearted guy
