Really? He’s absolutely terrible with the ball at his feet. Even big Wes is better at passing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even big Wes is better at passing When the options were Morgan, Huth and that bald psychopath he was Pele in my eyes haha. Morgan looks like a toddler being taught to pass when he's on the ball. I've never seen a premier league footballer concentrate so much making a simple basic side foot pass . Benny was decent on the ball in comparison but also a complete liability at all times. Huth was...Huth. Wes was a superb last 5 minutes striker though, he was really good as using his body. He's pulled off some insane moves in the other teams box haha. Amartey played central midfield on a semi-regular basis for the reigning champions of the league. Good lord. And people wonder why Kante jumped ship 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be laboured in his passing and had two moments on the pitch which could have cost us but he was not the reason why we got shot down.

It's really a tricky one because how can he drop our in form striker but to get him into the team we need to play a certain formation. no we don't 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s generally quite uncomfortable at receiving the ball but he’s actually quite good at playing medium length passes between the lines. Peculiar set of skills tbh Edited 15 April 2021 by Stadt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilf's deadly accurate there. Amartey seems like a good dude, and he's a nice guy to have around for cup games and dire emergencies. But those are the only times he should ever be on the pitch for a club that considers itself a European contender. His ball skills are atrocious and pretty much every game he's got at least 1-2 total bomb scares in him. That's not knocking the guy, it's just facing reality.

He's important cover for those times we have an injury crisis. We can't expect to have a player of the same quality as the first eleven just waiting on the sidelines, and defensively he's not that bad. I just panic when he gets the ball and has to make a pass under pressure. I'd feel more comfortable if, in those situations, he ignored Rodgers and hoofed the ball up field as far as possible or even out of play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers obviously prefers him to Fuchs, Benko and Knight at the back , must be a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drumbeat Posted 5 August 2021 Share Posted 5 August 2021 (edited) I saw that there were loads of Dan threads I could resurrect, no real reason for choosing this one... anyways.... Amartey's impressed me of late. I've always liked the guy (however one decides to like someone you don't know!) but didn't honestly think he'd make the grade for us. Always looked a bit timid/uncertain to me. But he looked a more confident player in the preseason. Some really nice football/passing too. I'd be tempted to use him in Fofana's place on Saturday*. My jury's still out on Benko; he looks calm and controlled, and I like that, (and he can ping a decent pass) but I'm not sure of his positional play and reading of the game. *Edit: though maybe BR will decide to stick Wilf at CB and use Soumare (or Hamza) in the usual Ndidi role. Saturday's going to be a 'make do' line-up at CB. Edited 5 August 2021 by drumbeat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majaco Posted 5 August 2021 Share Posted 5 August 2021 I hope that following his injury problems he is now fully up to speed. Like Pereira, last season for Amartey was coming back after a long lay off. He is a former international captain. Last season, he was a level below our top 3 CBS. He did have some good games though. I hope he can raise his game this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 5 August 2021 Share Posted 5 August 2021 He's clearly the obvious choice for the start of the season over any other option we currently have. Getting on for 100 games for us, 7 seasons and 4 managers and he's still in the first team setup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
