Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 23 August 2021 Share Posted 23 August 2021 Not sure I’d drop Cags - he needs all the confidence he can get after that back pass tonight (which btw all began with Kasper giving them the ball back). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesta2014 Posted 23 August 2021 Share Posted 23 August 2021 Was our best Cb tonight although he was poor for the 4th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 23 August 2021 Share Posted 23 August 2021 He looks uncomfortable in possession and isn’t very good under pressure but he’s actually alright at passing. I’ve noticed it more when he’s played on the right of a 3 but he can punch a sharp pass between the lines semi-regularly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His pass through the inside right channel for Vardy in the second half was comfortably our best pass of the game (low bar admittedly). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans or Fofana would have found a midfielder or a marauding full backs more often. Amartey as a CB somehow manages to make so many backward passes.

Popular Post FoxyLeon Posted 23 August 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 23 August 2021 Let down by Soyuncu massively. Showed some character second half, with his drive out of defence. Never lets us down. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His passing is one area where he has definitely improved but I think he's instructed to play safe. Only make the pass if sure. I think Dan maybe struggles with confidence, doesn't back himself enough, so will perhaps opt to play the easy ball. I think he can pass, and has shown it, but he's doing what he's been told. Personally, I think Dan was about the only plus from last night. He's doing enough these days to warrant his place. And that surge forward and pass for Vardy was a sign of what he can do when he backs himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 24 August 2021 Share Posted 24 August 2021 Solid performance from Dan last night and loved his Fofana-like gallop into their half where he played a very decent ball down the channel. I do wish him and Soy would stick two fingers up to Rodgers and hit the channels more when there's clearly no pass on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 24 August 2021 Share Posted 24 August 2021 he amount of times last night Tielemans wated for Antonio to move then followed him when Dan had the ball not giving him as pass was shocking the few times he didn't and gave Dan a pass he got the ball turned and went forward felt bad for Dan, it seemed no one other than him was willing to actually try and take the ball, even Soyuncu didn't try to pass forward 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tickler28 Posted 24 August 2021 Share Posted 24 August 2021 Amartey has become the new fall guy for Leicester. A match last night where 8 players were utter dogshite (Barnes, Vardy, Tielemans, Ndidi, Soyuncu, Maddison, Thomas and Perez) but everyone just instantly blames Amartey perhaps because he's not fashionable or didn't cost £30 million....wasn't supposed to play CB...was a Puel signing...I don't know.....its like our fanbase love a scapegoat.....Demarai Gray was one and look how well he's doing now 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Amartey has become almost a cult figure amongst the FT faithful and is defended to the hilt, by many Personally I shudder if he’s in the first 11 but absolutely Cags was our worst CB against West Ham I predict if we have to go long with the pair of them playing together in a back four, we’ll concede lots of goals.

Fans alway love a committed player. Man utd fans love keane in a way that they dont love beckham. Dan is a good defender and a reasonable CB. Not world class. I hope others will return to fitness... in the meantime we have to hope cags and dan get tighter together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely agree with you re the Cags/Amartey partnership. Its probably nothing to do with either individually but as a pairing....in the Premier League....with aspirations of top 6.....not happening 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the home team. Fck them.

cruzFOX Posted 25 August 2021 Share Posted 25 August 2021 It's all about perspective is the way I see it. If we are to move on as a club with all the promise we've shown of 'almost' clinching that champions league spot and finishing in the top 4 we have to progress in every way and that includes the players we have. Big Dan has served us well in parts in the past but he's not cut out to be an A-team player just isn't period. I've seen too many careless passes and clueless thinking which leads to him being bit in the arse as a direct consequence because he doesnt have the pace to recover from his mistake. I do agree many of our players were well off the mark. We had more fight and grit in our 2015/16 season against the hammers where we fought fire with fire. Remember our Leo?

Popular Post StriderHiryu Posted 28 August 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 28 August 2021 (edited) Man of the match again. He made one big blunder in the second half, which yet again was a pretty poor forward pass. But other than that he was really good, and many times he didn't just deal with trouble, he was commanding in the situation and being accountable for saving our bacon. Also even though I've picked him out for one bad pass, he made several good ones in the game. In fact during his run of games, he's starting to develop a knack of picking up the ball from deep, driving forwards and making a good pass forwards to an attacking player. He totally deserves a new contract for me. When Vestergaard is back, it should be Soyuncu that should be dropped not Amartey, even though we know that won't be the case. Amartey has been brilliant in our time of need. Has played in 3 victories and even in our defeat was far from our worst player.
