jv1 Posted 20 August 2022 Posted 20 August 2022 Everything you need to know about him and Rodger’s- absolutely 💯 pathetic
Sly Posted 20 August 2022 Posted 20 August 2022 What I don’t get, is the defence that he’s a utility player and a good professional. He’s only a utility player, he’s he’s not good enough to nail down a spot anywhere in our team. We signed him as a midfielder and he couldn’t cut it. He’s then been shoehorned into defence and it’s clearly a position that he’s not spent a lifetime learning, as he plays like a youth player at times, learning his trade.

Incognito Posted 20 August 2022 Posted 20 August 2022 Amartey perfectly encapsulates the fragile mentality of our squad. Before we scored, he was mostly having a solid game. Soon as we scored and Southampton come out to have a go at us, he starts panicking on the ball, missing tackles and interceptions and generally looking sub par. Söyüncü must surely be feeling aggrieved at not getting a game.

Blimey it’s going up! Last week I thought he was meant to be 4th choice?! Any advance on 5th… ? Keown pretty scathing of Big Dan on MOTD… ‘I’m not even sure he’s a proper CB’ This club is in a mess…
Popular Post Corky Posted 20 August 2022 Popular Post Posted 20 August 2022 At least Amartey gave a shit about playing for this club. More than Keown ever did. 5
lcfc043 Posted 20 August 2022 Posted 20 August 2022 (edited) Beyond a joke now. That dreaded feeling seeing him in team 2pm. It’s like he wants to be sacked Edited 20 August 2022 by lcfc043

StanSP Posted 21 August 2022 Posted 21 August 2022 Looked clumsy once again based on the highlights. Why is he not marking Adams for the 2nd goal? Should Castagne be calling him over, as he has to worry about the player at the back post? He just constantly looks like he doesn't know where to be and just lost and confused, therefore reacts far too late.
fox_up_north Posted 21 August 2022 Posted 21 August 2022 He looked poor yesterday but I expect that. I have no idea what he's doing to be the first name on the team sheet.

You can’t teach positioning really. Like a good striker will have movement to be able to get away from a defender, so a good defender instinctively knows where to position himself.

We're unfortunately in a circumstance where others also haven't performed or Rodgers won't pick them, so at the moment Dan is a lot higher in the pecking order then he should be

It's no wonder Dan (and Jonny) were all over the place at the end of the match. I am sick and tired of this sub- Man. City or joke Barcelona way of playing .We ain't got the brains or skill to do it.
Corky Posted 21 August 2022 Posted 21 August 2022 Known laying into Amartey yet not questioning why he's playing.

Like a good striker will have movement to be able to get away from a defender, so a good defender instinctively knows where to position himself. Therefore a good defender he is not. Also wasteful in possession. At least once or twice a game he'll lose it or the ball goes under his feet even when there's no pressure. Also, you can teach positioning. Literally all you need to be taught is 'don't let your striker see your number on your back'. That's positioning. Knowing where the striker you're marking is. It can be taught.

For the record, as you know, I really wanted Dan to have a stormer yesterday and, until the slip about mid way through the first half, he looked good. As I’ve said before, and someone else said above, the big problem with Amartey is that he just panics when the team is put under pressure. His head goes. He charges about like a mad thing and loses his composure. You can’t do that at this level. You’ll be punished. And we see this time over. That’s why I believe he’s playing above his level. If he did this in the Championship, for instance, he’d get away with it. In the Premiership, he doesn’t.
MalletFox Posted 21 August 2022 Posted 21 August 2022 Big Dan, I didn’t go to the Arsenal game, but the 2 home games we’ve had he’s been diabolical. Game changing contributions (negatively) against Brentford and what a shambolic performance yesterday. Has zero confidence and his performances are at a level where he cannot reasonably start the next league game. IF we let Fof go, we have to get a CB replacement in immediately to start alongside Evans. Does anyone have Dan’s pass completion stats, I’m sure BR will be pouring over them, for passes over 10 yards in distance I think he was single digit (%) completion rate!
lcfc043 Posted 21 August 2022 Posted 21 August 2022 (edited) The Amartey ‘experiment’ has failed, it was always going to. We all know Cags limitations but he is the better option over Amartey. He needs to stop trying to prove a point over Spurs game and play our better defenders. Edited 21 August 2022 by lcfc043
