Was his head not attached to the rest of his body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have, several times, referred to me as being sour and that you've touched a nerve. You couldn't be more wrong. The original post I disagreed with was your post regarding Algeria being a big team. For the record and to disabuse you of your notion that I am somehow responding to defend the England national team, I don't believe England are a big team either. The big international teams are Brazil, Italy, Germany, Argentina, Spain and arguably France, serial winners all. England are below that level with a myriad of others which incudes the likes of the likes of Dutch and Uruguay but doesn't include Algeria. When you then added the caveat that they were a big team in Africa I still disagreed with you on the basis that Egypt, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Ghana and Congo have all won more cup of nations tournaments and Algeria have won once in the 30 times it has been held. Those facts make it irrefutable to me so we seem to judging on a different basis. However, it's all opinion and ours will never meet it seems. Again lets just agree to disagree. Agreed on your final sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes21 Posted 25 January 2017 Share Posted 25 January 2017 Does anyone know how well Amartey has performed at CB for Ghana? Looking more likely he'll be cover at RB and also an option at CB along with Ndidi... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking more likely he'll be cover at RB and also an option at CB along with Ndidi... I think he's a hybrid-CB/DM, similar to how Mehdi Mostefa was for Algeria in the 2014 World Cup. He can help our aging CB's hold on to the ball and connect with our other CM's to build attacks. Can be valuable, but Ranieri has to be willing to make that switch to get the best out of him imo.

brucey Posted 29 January 2017 Share Posted 29 January 2017 Claudio did say Amartey's best position was midfield.... He is also our backup CB according to Claudio.

MattCan Posted 29 January 2017 Share Posted 29 January 2017 Tried to watch some of this match. But too much acting, diving and time wasting it's ridiculous. Looks like yesterday's match Cameroon-Senegal was much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think we've looked better with him in the midfield and I agree Morgan and Huth have been woeful but that should have been resolved in this window, we are here on the 29th with Benalouane as our backup and us lot speculating whether Amartey can fit the role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struwwelpeter60 Posted 2 February 2017 Share Posted 2 February 2017 Thanks to AFCON we already had a frustrated Mahrez and a frustrated and injured Slimani. Now we can add to that a frustrated and tired Amartey. That will help a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankieADZ Posted 3 February 2017 Share Posted 3 February 2017 Ive actually been pretty impressed with Amartey playing at CB in the tournament, would like to see him get a chance there when he gets back but CR wont do that, hopefully he brings some of that tackling back too, if we do go down, lets at least kick some lumps out of the oppo along the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
