There is a rumour circulating on social media that Amartey once passed the ball forwards. Not sure how legit it is tho.

And this is why you shouldn't trust social media.

 

One of the next limbs of the season has came courtesy of him, other than that he needs to go on loan.

Shows how utterly bizarre this forum can be sometimes.

I (yes me) thought Amartey came on and actually did fine today. I thought he was pretty lively, didn't give the ball away much and looked relatively safe.

I thought he allowed Ndidi to play further forward where Ndidi is far more effective.

I agree, other than that pass he just kicked out of play he did well.

[Harry96]

I actually thought he didn't do too badly apart from misplaced ball towards latter stages of the game.

He was ok but plays so cautiously. Not the player we signed. He needs confidence and, preferably, game time.

He was excellent when he came on today and turned the game in our favor plus he only misplaced one pass out to the Wing. He going to be a good player for us once he's had a preseason and a few more games under his belt.

Amarty was undone this year by afcon.

Earlier he started in mid field and had begun to reduce errors and was starting to look strong in mid field

Now he needs games to get back to the pl pace.  I still believe that he can be a strong midfielder for us along side drinky and or ndidi. 

 

We need thid depth.... lets be positive about amarty

Looked more comfortable today in CM than RB. Untested at CB, but might be better there too.

[Clever Fox]

He just needs to toughen up a bit also but that will come with experience once he's had a few heavy tackles.

And learn how to pass it 5 yards to a team mate

Should we keep @Col city fan in the summer, or get rid?

I do wish you'd post something about football on a football forum and stop trawling about looking for attention.

I'm sure I've said something similar before.

Oh lighten up, man, it's a joke. 

 

Oh, and while I'm at it, you're quite the one for irony, aren't you?

I personally like King, but thought Amartey was more affective in 30 mins or so minutes and got on the ball more than King did, in over 60 mins.

[TheUltimateWinner]

He's not a midfielder

 

If you played Benalouane in midfield you'd probably have a similar level of performance

 

Fans don't rate him as a midfielder and management don't rate him as a defender... 

 

Best thing would be to loan him out and make his mark in one of those positions

[AylestoneRaider]

Amartey did far better than King when he came on - he was able to compete physically and imposed himself on the game. I think he will be really good for us and a partnership with Wild is not a bad option for away games against the better sides.

[dynamark]

Agreed did pretty well got tight to the opposition and moved the ball in a forwards direction which always helps.

[Guest CityFan 06]

I think in a midfield three position when we particularly need to contain the opposition, he benefits from. To be honest, when we have played a midfield three it's the most suited Amartey has looked. For me, at this moment in time being part of a midfield two isn't bringing the best out of him, and a large degree of that is down to confidence.

 

If he started to grow in confidence, in the role of a midfield three, he'd look better in a midfield two. He'd also then start trying more ambitious passes which we know he is capable of from his time at Copenhagen.

[Gazza M]

I would move on in the summer unfortunately. I would expect a new CM in and CB making him redundant. Sad but true in my opinion.

In a midfield 3, you expect a midfielder to get between 7-10 goals in a season other wise you end up like Boro. Vardy can't play ST on his own. Also, Vardy would so isolated upfront with the way we play (unless we decide to change our play style and dominate possesion, which means two new CBs and RB.) also, he's not good enough on the ball to play CM.
