As an AM he needs players to play one twos with. Towards the end of the game you could see him trying that with Bruno. I think we also see it a bit with Mainoo.

Since we are lacking that kind of player he is probably more effective at the moment as RWB where he can get into space to run at the defence from deep.

I still feel he has the talent to be a top player but he is surrounded by so much dross and is probably looking worse as a result of it.

Agreed, Mazraoui especially has been atrocious going forward.

I will say, though, Amad needs to work on his shooting, absolutely woeful

Not good today. He has more than enough credit in the bank though.

We're massively reliant on him doing something to win games. If he's off it like today we're in trouble.

I think he's making more wrong decisions at the moment. When he attacks the fullback and tries to find a teammate he is more effective but he is trying to do too much on his own in recent weeks.

I think he has more upside when playing rwb currently. We lack options in passing with Mazraoui there and we can use Garnacho and Mainoo in the 10 slot. More attacking players mean more attacking threat. Defenders will have to choose who to pick up or double team, making us less predictable.

Agree about him needing to play at wing back. Not sure what Amorim is thinking by not playing him there in home matches like today.

I've always had a nagging doubt with him and today was the worst of it. He's not direct enough, always seems to want the ball first and then think about doing something with it. He never anticipates things. He's definitely better suited as a wing back.

There's a difference between Amad at RWB being overall better for the team right now, and Amad being better suited to RWB.

Amad's easily better suited to play in attack, with an attacking RWB behind him, an elite 10 on the left side, with an attacking LWB, and a striker that poses a threat to the opposition. He has none of those things.

At the moment, he is expected to carry our attack on his own and the opposition can surround him with players to stop him knowing no one else on his team is capable of doing anything.

Despite that he created our 2 best chances today for Mainoo and Bruno, as well as the cross for Maguire at the back post.

I can get on board with him playing RWB this season, but we must make signings to move him back to an attacking role.
