AyewJoking Posted 4 February 2016 Posted 4 February 2016 What position is he? He seems like a utility man - CB, RB, CM... I guess I'm trying to get at who's position is under threat? No ones but at the same time, everyones. Apart from Schmeichel, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs, Mahrez, Drinkwater, Kante and Vardy.
filbertstreet Posted 9 February 2016 Posted 9 February 2016 played for u21s yesterday http://www.lcfc.com/news/article/amartey-makes-first-lcfc-appearance-2946578.aspx
Finnaldo Posted 9 February 2016 Posted 9 February 2016 played for u21s yesterday http://www.lcfc.com/news/article/amartey-makes-first-lcfc-appearance-2946578.aspx Nice to see we're easing him in, luckily I feel he'll be afforded a little more breathing room and time to properly adapt compared to last season's January signings. Nice to hear Iversen has gone into the U21 squad and looked decent as well, especially for an 18 year old.
ealingfox Posted 9 February 2016 Posted 9 February 2016 Can't see him making it with the first team if he can't single-handedly ensure a win and clean sheet for the U21s in his first appearance for the Club a month after moving to a new country.
lgfualol Posted 9 February 2016 Posted 9 February 2016 Do the u21s ever win nowadays Good for Amartey though.

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 9 February 2016 Posted 9 February 2016 Will be on the bench against Arsenal I would of thought
Steven Posted 9 February 2016 Posted 9 February 2016 Will be on the bench against Arsenal I would of thought Surely the same 11 and bench as last Saturday?
dedlock Posted 14 February 2016 Posted 14 February 2016 Hope he is match fit for Norwich or do we recall RDL?
filbertstreet Posted 14 February 2016 Posted 14 February 2016 Hope he is match fit for Norwich or do we recall RDL? can't recall anyone now, either him or wasyl I reckon
coolcol Posted 14 February 2016 Posted 14 February 2016 can't recall anyone now, either him or wasyl I reckon Do we not have a recall option on loan players?
Thracian Posted 14 February 2016 Posted 14 February 2016 Now the doubters might understand our need for proper reinforcements in the transfer window. Vardy was tattered the last 20 minutes and we had no dangerous replacement. There's clearly no replacement for Simpson either. Nor a genuine wide replacement or a worthwhile midfield replacement now King seems to have served his purpose. Grey's a kid learning his trade, if Amarthey's not good enough to replace Simpson it's a sorry situation and Neilsen doesn't really come into it just yet. What the window really should have sorted was alternatives to deal with situations like today. Instead even our established reserves seem to have become so uninvolved they've lost their edge. Was has already been mentioned but Kingy looked just like a joiner's tool that had no purpose. Surely if we have just one style of play we should have like for like options. Today was the perfect opportunity for 3-5-1. That was we'd have avoided being push back to the edge of our penalty area and the wide players (withdrawing Albrighton was crazy) could help stifle creative feeds into our box and also provide a passing option for the central midfielders and single striker going forward. As it was we lost all fluency and simply hacked the ball clear of our penalty area and waited for good players (mostly unchallenged) to put it straight back. It was never going to work. Not for so long and the evidence was there to be seen well before their belated winner.

SpinneyHillRanger Posted 14 February 2016 Posted 14 February 2016 this guy should've been on the bench today.... our substitutes today were not really at a high level today. hopefully he can slot in at right back
Thracian Posted 14 February 2016 Posted 14 February 2016 Where was all this shite after the man city game? Knowitall! It was mentioned countless times well before the Manchester City game.
johnny the fox Posted 14 February 2016 Posted 14 February 2016 He will be in next game for simpson..and will stay in..
foxes21 Posted 14 February 2016 Posted 14 February 2016 My danish friend said this guys basically Kante 2.0. Excited to see him play even if it is at right back.
americanfox Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Bright side, this is an opportunity to improve on Simpson.
EnglishOxide Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 The good thing is that he has two weeks training to prepare for this and settle into the lineup.
cruyff99 Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Just had the first chance to watch Amartey in the flesh in today's U21 game vs Man City U21s - and judging from what I saw, he still has some work to do to be able to cut it at a premier league level. Whilst he diligently worked well as part of the back 4 unit, he didn't mark closely, commit to tackles or be vocal enough with his close team mates. I didn't see a lot of defensive anticipation or positioning that I'm used to seeing from Simpson or Fuchs. I was also surprised to see him beat for pace by their left-winger. It may be that I expected too much of him from a reserve game. Whereas I expected Amartey to start in our next game against Norwich, I would not be surprised to see Schlupp there instead. Anyone else at the game tonight?

cruyff99 Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 You lost me right at the end schlupp at right back?? It will be wasyl or even albrighton My bad, I don't know why I said Schlupp...I meant to say Liam Moore!
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 15 February 2016 Posted 15 February 2016 Aint schulp injured Potentially. Depends if he's recovered from his injury in time. I don't think we know either way yet but we believe he will be back in action sometime in Feburary, as I understand.
