Babylon Posted 21 October 2021 Share Posted 21 October 2021 9 hours ago, Col city fan said: A tidy game does not equate to three goals conceded. A tidy game is shutting the opposition out. But again I can see that this is falling on the deaf ears of FT so I’ll move on Again… 😆 You seem to be mixing personal performance with team performance. Can’t blame anyone for the first really, but watch Soyuncu. He’s absolute muck, he’s all over the place and then in the box he’s marking Evans rather than the man behind him, which drags Ricardo in a leave a spare. Didn’t cause the goal, but that is going on all the time. Second goal, Soyuncu loses the ball well out of position and leave a giant hole in the centre. Third goal, Vest steps out, messes up, then leaves his man. He ain’t perfect but he’s not personally responsible for everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 21 October 2021 Share Posted 21 October 2021 Amartey I thought did ok yesterday. He wasn’t personally responsible for any of the goals. At the moment he has far fewer gaffes than many of his defensive colleagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post StriderHiryu Posted 24 October 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 24 October 2021 I thought he had another really good game today. Says it all that Soyuncu got carded and taken off because he might get a red, but Amartey stayed on. He's getting better and better with his ground game every week too. Might not be a first choice CB, but he's played in every game we've won this season. Every single one! Deserves a new contract as a valuable squad player. 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MonmoreStef Posted 24 October 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 24 October 2021 He offers us terrific value for money. As 4th or even 5th choice central defender he regularly gives us a 7 out of 10 performance. He also seems a likeable guy who knows and accepts his position in the pecking order and is a valued member of the squad. Looking forward to him scoring us another winner later this season hopefully against Chelsea. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 24 October 2021 Share Posted 24 October 2021 Another win with Dan in the side, proving to be a really useful squad player. Why some can’t accept that is what he is I have no idea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStandUpperTier Posted 24 October 2021 Share Posted 24 October 2021 It's been a long road to get here, just like with Nacho, but it seems like BR finally trusts him to do a job. BR probably wishes he'd just put Big Dan on and kept Wilf in midfield in that final game against Spurs last season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in Big Dan I personally wouldn’t put him in ahead of Evans or Fofana. And really he’s a different type of defender than cags. He’s a bit more nippy which we need but we do need a tall defender too… if we went to two at the back we wouldn’t have much height with Evans and Dan. it’s a tough one. I really like him and I hope we keep him as he’s having a great season. However if Newcastle bid £60m in January I might reluctantly acknowledge his request for first team football..

I thought we looked very shaky defensively for most of the first half, but then definitely settled down. Amartey was ok. Soyuncu definitely has become more shaky than Amartey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam95581 Posted 24 October 2021 Share Posted 24 October 2021 He’s aggressive, committed and generally really reliable too. He sometimes looks a bit clumsy and ungainly but that’s just his style. I noticed today that he pulled out of a challenge in the box and the Brentford player threw his legs and went down looking for contact. He’s definitely got the experience to step in when we need him to and is arguably pushing Cags for the 3rd CB role when Fofana is back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soyuncu has never really returned from the Euros looking confident and if there’s a defensive ‘calamity’ it’s usually coming from him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterborofox Posted 24 October 2021 Share Posted 24 October 2021 Some twat behind me today kept saying how shit Amartey is and he should be in Rugby because all he does is pass forward. Absolute nonsense, he plays a solid safe game. He is criminally underrated and for me a contender for motm. I'd like to see his pass completion stats as he doesn't give it away easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 24 October 2021 Share Posted 24 October 2021 Always quietly thought he does a job when called upon at CB. Yes he has the odd gaffe - but you can say that for everyone apart from Evans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
