surrifox Posted 30 September 2018 Share Posted 30 September 2018 He needs to repeat that incredible run from penalty area to penalty area at rocket propelled speed which was in his obligatory you tube video before we signed him . If he does the doubters will fall away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas Wes.... I meant he looks awkward passing, similarly to Wes. Whether they’re both crap at passing or not, they both look very awkward on the ball.

Firstly we cant play Simpson as hes not registered. The main difference is that Amartey is young and improving, Simpson is getting on a bit now and won't get any better/will only get worse. We need to move forwards not back and as much as I have loved Simpson and his contribution over the past few years, we need to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this because she told me that she'd been aided by 'a handsome black lad what plays for City'. After a brief trawl through Leicester's African contingent on my phone, she confirmed it was the one with 'the lovely cheek bones' Haha. I like him even more. I'm surprised Puel didn't try to improve Richardo's defending. That would have given us two wing backs. I'm happy for Amartey though, can play two positions, is putting in solid performances and is improving. More touches and a better pass competition rate than Chilwell yesterday.

Alf Bentley Posted 1 October 2018 Share Posted 1 October 2018 How about this as a song for him? I have visions of the whole ground singing it as he charges down the wing (I live in a dreamworld, btw).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1 Posted 1 October 2018 Share Posted 1 October 2018 I'm not sure whether it's a confidence issue but Amartey is too negative in his passing. There was an occasion on Saturday when he got the ball on the halfway line with all the team in front of him. So what does he do, he turns around and plays the ball back to Kasper. He's a slight improvement on Simpson going forward, but Simpson is a better defender. Overall I'm amazed that he might be Puel's first choice RB.

Eventually I imagine Ricardo will be the first choice, once he's up to speed with the league and we've worked on his defending and concentration then he'll probably drop back in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very possibly, But I wouldn't rule out Amartey making his own of the RB position. For a start he's better in the air and covers the CB position well also.

He can take a while to get up to speed and he'll make some clangers on the way. But I still think there is a half decent footballer in there. He's 23 and been asked to play 3 different position in his career, all things considered I don't think he's done too bad at all. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xen Posted 1 October 2018 Share Posted 1 October 2018 On 30/09/2018 at 10:35, Vindaloo FOX said: the kid is 23, he will get better with game time, solid squad player. It's so easy to forget this. He'd played in the CL before he came here, and it feels like he's been here ages, but its still very early on in his career. Now that his position seems to be a bit more established at RB and he looks like getting regular gametime there (though not necessarily every week), hopefully he'll grow into it even more and become a solid player for us. He's still prone to a slip-up and he's not been tested too much as of yet, but the early signs are relatively promising. He's never going to be a star player for us - much in the same way that Simpson wasn't - but more of an enabler, who goes about his job quietly and steadily, allowing our 'marquee' players to really play their game more freely.

Like others have said I pretty much had written him off but he is one of the those players I really wanna do well. I like that Puel gives most a chance.

Clever Fox Posted 1 October 2018 Share Posted 1 October 2018 He has all the raw ingredients to be a footballer. I'm sure Puel loves working with him because he's so willing to learn. There's no pretention of greatness just an honest lad trying to do his best to suceed. That's what I love about him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing that, it's insightful into both Amartey and Puel. Respect to big Dan for asking for a loan move because I think it's important for players to play in order to get better. I also think it's a good insight into Puel who has probably given Amartey a lot of confidence by keeping him at the club to develop and helping him find a position to call his own and getting him starts. Puel's patience with youth has definitely developed Chilwell, Gray and Amartey considerably, even if they all have some distance to go. If he can improve all our current young starters by 10-15% each then we will rocket up the table. Like a lot of people I am not entirely convinced by Amartey but I think he has improved a lot this season. Brain fart against Manchester United aside he's been pretty solid. He did get done badly by Bernard against Everton, but it was good attacking play and there were other opportunities to deal with the attack so it's not like he is the only one to blame. Just a shame he didn't get that header at the end to redeem himself! Edited 9 October 2018 by StriderHiryu 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ease in which Bernard skipped past both Ricardo and Big Dan was clear to see. I don’t agree with Puel on this. I’d be more happy seeing Amartey in a CB three. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
