foxfan92 Posted 11 April 2021 Posted 11 April 2021 Amartey is a versatile player who's role is pretty much cover for the cover. He's not first choice and in many positions he can play he's not even the second choice, but I'd argue he's still a useful squad player. When we have the number of injuries we've had he's important. But you have to remember he's not their to play when we have our first team available, and he shouldn't be judged as such. We won't get a player of first team quality to sit around waiting for a chance to play. Having said that he's been poor in a number of games, and needs to work on his positional play because he's a bit of a bomb scare. That should surely be something that's easily corrected though...
Sunbury Fox Posted 11 April 2021 Posted 11 April 2021 (edited) I don't think anyone is saying Dan would start by choice or is a brilliant player. He's effectively our 5th choice CB and 4th choice RB. With our budget, what kind of player do you think we could get to replace him to fulfill such back up roles? Injuries have killed us this season so he's played way more often than you'd want. Worth pointing out, though, that he's the only one of our CBs who has scored a goal this season, a goal that won us 3 crucial points... Edited 11 April 2021 by Sunbury Fox 1

But surely if people changed their minds on a player that would be 'hypocritical', no? 2
Popular Post BlackFox Posted 11 April 2021 Popular Post Posted 11 April 2021 Amartey was nothing more than ok, but he's not to blame for the goals we conceded. Evans looked like s*** for most of the match. Stop using Amartey as a scape goat every time he's on the pitch. 7
Chris catlow Posted 11 April 2021 Posted 11 April 2021 fofanna made the initial mistake for the 2nd goal! 3rd goal poor control from kelchi. Amartey wasn't our worst defender today.
g7fox Posted 11 April 2021 Posted 11 April 2021 Amartey seems like a genuine player who tries his best. As some posters have mentioned he’s better when we’re defending against the “better” teams, he’s not the most confident with the ball at his feet, but at least he gives 100% and looks like he’s enjoys playing for us. 2 1
Popular Post baldeagle Posted 12 April 2021 Popular Post Posted 12 April 2021 (edited) Not sure why Dan is getting pelters he wasn’t at fault for any of the goals and the whole defence was pretty poor . Yes he did a couple of bad back passes but it didn’t cost us . We didn’t lose the game because of him or any errors by him Edited 12 April 2021 by baldeagle 6
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 12 April 2021 Posted 12 April 2021 We need a scapegoat. Big Dan will do for now, Albrighton is playing well so he’s fine until his next poor game, Perez and Hamza nailed on scapegoats next time they play. Nacho still gets pelters by some diehard Nacho haters. 1 1

Nacho still gets pelters by some diehard Nacho haters. I don’t think Dan is being scapegoated here. I’ve said already and I think most have, he wasn’t directly involved in any of the goals yesterday But I think even I’ve under-estimated Amartey. I think he’s probably worse than even I thought he was, but not scapegoating here at all Yesterday they were pretty much all rubbish Nearly every time I see Amartey play, i think our defence generally looks more shakey. I thought the 3 central defenders would help but if anything it’s made it worse
Sammytielemans8 Posted 12 April 2021 Posted 12 April 2021 Amartey should be nowhere need the first team. He is average on the ball but offers nothing in the team. There were better players on the bench than him yesterday ie Thomas. He seems like a nice guy but if we want to achieve top 4/6, he needs to go 1

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 12 April 2021 Posted 12 April 2021 Why are we still frothing at the mouth about our 5th choice centre back, thrust in because of a major injury to one of our best players and someone stuck in Timbuctoo because of a virus? I'd say I've never seen anything like it but I do most times Mendy has to deputise for whatever reason.

I'm sure we concede far less with 2 cbs.

The reason why he looks better against the bigger teams is because we hold back the Wing backs so he doesn't have to go wide to engage. 1
