I feel for him when he plays in the right-CAM. If he was playing in a 4 2 3 1 or a 4 3 3, when on the right he would have a RB potentially overlapping, a CM as an option, a 10/8 as an option and a CF. In this formation he's lucky if Mazraoui can even make it up to him and only has a CM to pass to or the CF if they are close. So he has less options than if he was a winger in a 4 2 3 1 or 4 3 3.

He's effectively playing with a defensive fullback behind him...in a 3 4 3...we are shooting ourselves in the foot tactically.
 
He had Dalot behind him for about 5-10mins of the match late in the second half and then Dalot went to LWB as Antony was brought on to play ahead of Amad :lol:

Has to do all the attacking and defending on his channel.
 
He was poor, but of course I'll get agendered again.
Still was one of the better performers, but that's slight praise.
 
The guy needs help. He looked knackered both physically and mentally, knowing deep down that if he doesn't score / assist, then chances are no one will. We need a left sided 10 urgently.

It wasn`t an excellent performance - and I don`t think he could have done a lot better under the circumstances - but he was not poor. A (slightly) above average performance would be a fair rating

What is well in a game like todays? He was our most dangerous attacker, created a few good chances and his pressing played a major part in our penalty goal. He also had a moment where he defended very well against Mitoma on a break. He lost the ball a few times and didnt go past his defender every single time but no attacker in the world does that.

It wasnt a performance that will be spoken off in years to come but overall i thought he did well in a game where the opponent was better than us. Calling his game poor seems a bit harsh.

What do you think of his performances generally this season, in comparison to his teammates?
 
He was our only threat going forward - looked dangerous every time he had the ball. So sorry he had to play with those..:mad:

At a time it felt like all eyes where on him to try and manifest something out of thin air to save our assess and the Brighton thugs rightly shut him down.

I'll personally rate him an 8 .

Garnacho is younger than Amad, yet streets ahead in terms of development, decision making and aptitude.

Amad has a huge amount of growing up to do which is strange considering he's 22 years old now.
Put it this way, Gravenberch is the same age yet his decision making and development is way in excess of Amads.

There's only so much leeway someone can get, he's now close to 90 appearances in senior football and whilst everyone develops at different ages, I don't think United can rely on Amad whilst he is currently still not making the right decisions during games.

You posted this in September. If that was your judgement and standard for Amad then fair enough but how do you feel about Garnacho now?

I absolutely do not believe you have an agenda. I genuinely do not. I mean looking at your replies in this thread alone, it definitely does not indicate that. It would be ludicrous to assume that of course.
 
The plan should be to isolate him 1v1 as much as possible like Arsenal do with Saka. I dont think we give him the ball enough in dangerous positions.

I don’t either. Like Ferguson said to the squad when Van Persie joined, a similar message needs to be said to our team.
 
Why is his pressing so good and causes so many turn overs? His timing is impeccable. Is it so hard to train that others in the team can't do it?

First of all, he actually presses with intent so that helps, but I also think he can be deceptively quick over short distances and he knows when to accelerate to catch players out. He is also just really good at getting a foot to the ball and getting himself between the ball and the opposition.

I mean he has come in clutch for this team, but he really exemplifies the low IQ of this team. Wasting chances and not managing the game in the last couple minutes. He is also the worst person to have in your team as a striker, he never looks up!

We can’t have Garnacho and Amad on either wings imo.
 
Consistently a threat. Our second best player today for sure.

I wish he was more clinical though. Both with his finishing and final ball.

Anyone that's ever watched Amad and think he "exemplifies the low IQ of the team" is clueless.

Well, that's just nonsense. His last 20 minutes were poor but he went through so much work before that and was United's most dangerous player.

That's definitely a harsh take. He over did it a lot today, but he definitely isn't a head down player.

Give over, he's the only player capable of putting corners in, put balls into dangerous areas and play one twos. Messi rarely had his head up but knew where his team mates were.

Clueless post.

Yeah and I didn't even think it was "poor" he just cocked up a couple of his final actions. Was roasting his fullback though and should have had an assist for the Garnacho sitter (really should have had 2 assists today, that Yoro foul was bullshit)
 
He really needs to start looking up, two easy goals were taken off the board today because he just refuses to have a look.

He is doing brilliantly to get into those positions, but it is something that needs highlighting to him by the coaching staff, if he is to start every match he needs to start making his teammates better rather than trying to do it all himself.
 
The one player Amad has to study is salah, he uses diagonal passes so effectively, amad either dibbles forwards or passes backwards. there were multiple occasions where zirkzee and garna were on shoulder of defence and Amad passes backwards. Just needs a small tweak for runners to go forwards when Amad has the ball and it will add attack

He's.... second on the team in assists though? And creates chances every game?
 
He is getting the "Garnacho" bug it seems, as he seems to have started overcomplicating pretty simple chances and passes lately.

I get it that he has one extra player to beat usually playing as a RWB, but he should really keep it simple on his dribbling.
 
To those that think my post is clueless, ask your self this: for every goal he scores, how many does he miss directly or makes the wrong decision?

He is not worse than Garnacho in this issue, but he needs to do better to aid the team. I think he will improve with coaching.
 
He's such a threat but needs to work on his finishing, could have easily scored 2 tonight (the Bruno chance in the first halfand especially the Lisandro one). I do love to see him glide past players though, such a technical player. That touch to bring the ball down from the sky was exquisite.

Basically he's still got to grow in some key areas, but the guy's potential is tremendous
 
He's getting way to selfish for my liking, the strikers as poor as they are don't stand a chance they have no idea when or if he is going to release the ball. Amorim needs to have a word and tell him this is not the NFL all these solo glory runs when there are players in better positions

Somehow more clueless than before. An achievement worthy of full member status
 
I wouldnt call Amad selfish but looking up before shooting would improve his game. Or he should improve his finishing, Ronaldo didnt look up much but just scored.
 
Was very good, but a bit selfish today. Caused them lots of problems. Can't blame him for not passing to Zirkzee though to be honest

Of course, there's room for improvement but watch how many moves start with him and his work around the box is always intelligent and provides chances for the team. That's not indicative of low IQ, I think he's one of the last players in the team who exemplifies that.

Amad is a very intelligent player, it's one of his biggest strengths.
