Bezzanator89 Posted 8 October 2022 Share Posted 8 October 2022 I take it that he has finally lost that cult hero status he somehow acclaimed. And about time too. "Big Dan" has stole a living from this club for too many seasons, and I personally have never rated him, scapegoat or not. Our defensive frailties and DA often go hand in hand. I can personally bet Liverpool were glad they didn't go for him back in 2013 when BR was in charge, but that was only because Amartey had to reject a trial because of a hand injury. But, shock, BR found his man at Leicester anyway so that was a happy coincidence for him. I 'half' believe that this would partially explain his proclivity for bringing on that donkey kike he did today, when it's the opposite of what we should be doing. I'll never forget Amartey coming on for Tielemans at Brighton, substitute choice of nightmares. Let's face the music, BR clearly rates him, and maybe Amartey gets a small cut when Brendan gets his multimillion severance pay. Long story short, it's a conspiracy I tells you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will1981 Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 Very good today defended very well and played the pass of the game to release Praet down the right wing. as a partnership with Faes worked very well maybe Evans is the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 Good moments in making clearances. But he's slow in the mind and physically. Lapses in concentration nearly screwed us over. So frustrating when he was just ambling with the ball when a pass forward was on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore_94 Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 (edited) Absolute bombscare the first 15-20 minutes or so 2 or 3 times he got tackled or misplaced a pass in that time that a better team would’ve punished us for Edited 15 October 2022 by moore_94 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacamion Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 He made 4 or 5 errors (Daniel Brainfarteys) that would have been punished by a better side. Conversely, he also made 3 or 4 vital tackles/interceptions. He's an enigma, big Dan is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 He was perfectly fine, he had a couple of lapses but almost... what you'd expect when he's our fourth choice centre half? He's bang average but he's being picked because the manager has crippled Evans, frozen out Soyuncu, and bought Vestergaard who doesn't know what a football is. He's bound to make mistakes, he's a bit shit, but it isn't his fault he's being picked every week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 It was basically him distilled into one performance - some genuinely great incisive passes and important challenges/clearances mixed with lapses of concentration and inexplicable errors that a better team would probably punish. I wouldn't have him starting personally but as said above you can't blame him for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bezzanator89 Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 Couple of scary moments, being caught out of position a couple of times and one particular under-cooked back-pass that got fans on edge. Wout Faes got him out of trouble a few times. Let's face it, Palace were poor offensively, and he'd have had a nightmare against better opposition.

LFox99 Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 So FT's consensus for today is that Tielemans was dross and Amartey decent? ****ing hell, this place has lost itself 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Col city fan Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 A real mixed bag from Dan today. Some great defending, coupled with some very scary moments. I thought Faes had his best game today in a City shirt and it’s good to keep a clean sheet.

gurru991 Posted 15 October 2022 Share Posted 15 October 2022 He really isn't up to Premier league standards is he ?. He just isn't consistent enough to play at this level & really belongs in the Championship where could play regularly & possibly improve his game. For him to be the third choice CB for us is a terrible condemnation of how the club has done business over the last couple of years. If we do manage to avoid relegation & I think we will, the club is going to have come up with a big bag of money for the new manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
