Amartey was our best defender again last night BUT, let’s be honest… yet again he switched off (as did the other two) when they scored their goal. Our whole defence look so prone to these lapses in concentration. We do that against Leeds, we’ll concede more cos Leeds aren’t a bad side whereas Spartak are rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesta2014 Posted 5 November 2021 Share Posted 5 November 2021 (edited) A very simple player, doesn’t over complicate the game too much! Doesnt try 50 yard diags as he knows that isn’t it his locker! Quietly confident when he’s defending one on one with player running at him. Like the rest of the defence it’s when balls are aerially in the box we look shakier as a unit! fantastic attitude and effort as always and a good goal last night.

He's in a perfectly reasonable position protecting the back post if the cross goes there. The cross is in the channel of Evans and Soyunucu with Tielemans the nearest to Moses. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I was making (badly) is these defensive lapses of concentration that are a feature of our entire defence this season (including Amartey). They come from nowhere and they all need to pack the fooker in! I’d play Amartey v Leeds, over Cags personally, if we go four at the back.

MPH Posted 5 November 2021 Share Posted 5 November 2021 i think in January or end of the year, he’s going to get an offer from a bottom half prem team to be a regular starter and he’s probably going to be interested in it and u know what? I wouldn’t begrudge him the move either. I hope if it happens he has a long and successful prem career. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it astonishing how much Soumare is getting away with not tracking Moses run. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced by Soumare’s positional sense in the slightest. Very conservative player, doesn’t really bust a gut to get past a player. Works better when he’s pressured and then he gets on his bike. Real confidence player too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmono84 Posted 5 November 2021 Share Posted 5 November 2021 I like him but think he was really poor for Arsenals second goal, made himself really small when he should be putting his body on the line to block that shot. Other than that he’s done a steady job but we need much better quality to break down teams. Should be used sparingly not starting every game.

Wymsey Posted 5 November 2021 Share Posted 5 November 2021 (edited) Fair play to him for his current good spell. He's, perhaps, proved a lot of doubters wrong. Edited 5 November 2021 by Wymsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing I find astonishing is both he and Youri ran back into the box but then failed to pick up Moses. how stupid was that, especially from Youri being the more experienced.

moore_94 Posted 6 November 2021 Share Posted 6 November 2021 34 minutes ago, ParkerPen said: it was like the parting of the red sea A very regular occurrence against us is an opposition player picking up the ball deep and being able to carry it 40-50 yards without anyone trying to stick a toe in and our defenders just backing off Pretty sure at one point I saw the other wing back for Spartak pick up the ball from near the edge of his box, run with it all the way, and win a corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was clearly Soumare's man. Defenders mark space, midfielders track the third man run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rodgers noticed and Soumare’s lack of effort there was part of what inspired Rodgers’s comments this week. Evans was a bit in no-man’s land on the play too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardinio'sCat Posted 6 November 2021 Share Posted 6 November 2021 Although his passing is often criticised, and he does have a mistake in him, I did admire the consistency and weight of the balls he was punching out to Timo in the last game. If he gets dropped it will be with honours on the board, I'm just hoping Soyuncu would benefit from playing narrower if he does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average or above average isn't good enough either. The margins of skill at this level are too minute. ...he is not our first choice CB...!!! He has had to step up to cover a predicament, his quality is what you would expect from someone within his hierarchy in the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Col city fan Posted 7 November 2021 Share Posted 7 November 2021 Credit where it’s due today. That challenge near the end (where VAR looked at it for poss handball) was a game saving tackle. Amartey tracked his opponent and if he wasn’t in the right position he’d have scored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc_forever Posted 7 November 2021 Share Posted 7 November 2021 (edited) He’s one of our better defenders on current form, think he should play at RB until Justin is back. Ricardo offers more offensively but given our issues, think we need to focus on getting the defence right.
