Looking much much better recently.
Reminds me of a sort of hybrid between Keenan and Kel.
Would it? Fair enough, I didn’t think that was always the caseIf it was VAR who overturned it the ref would’ve went to the screen
With the amount of running our full backs have to do, we probably need one more for the left .
Shaw can't be trusted and I don't know if our kids are ready.
Dorgu and Amass on the left.With the amount of running our full backs have to do, we probably need one more for the left .

Not sure I am in the minority here but I much prefer Amad as one of the 10s.Dorgu and Amass on the left.
Amad and Kamason on the right.
I'd like us to sign Cherki. Hence, why I'd use Amad at wing-back.Not sure I am in the minority here but I much prefer Amad as one of the 10s.
I think a tight sided wingback in a must this summer.
I think Leon will be expected to be backup on the left. Might be wrong, but don't think he'll go into the youth side or be sent on loan, like some have suggested.I agree.
I think we need 2 wingbacks for either side. Allows rotation/subs/injuries.
Yes, it's a tricky one, but I tend to agree.I think Leon will be expected to be backup on the left. Might be wrong, but don't think he'll go into the youth side or be sent on loan, like some have suggested.
Dalot can also still play on the left (I know it's not ideal, but he can), so maybe you just need another RWB? (Preferably a young player who the club thinks will easily surpass Dalot within a season or two)
I am not sure if Amass is ready and this isn't a position we can try developing our kids. This is such a key players in Amorims style.Dorgu and Amass on the left.

I'm not so sure that we'll be signing a left wing-back. Right sided, perhaps. In that event, I'd rather use Amass as depth on the left than Dalot.I am not sure if Amass is ready and this isn't a position we can try developing our kids. This is such a key players in Amorims style.
I am of the opinion that Dorgu isn't ready to start, yet.
Agreed, Dorgu will play as a starter. We need to accept that we're not going to solve every problem this summer. We are certain to start next year with a few positions that are less than perfect. Dorgu isn't perfect, but Dorgu solves the LWB spot plenty enough that I expect us to stick with him and worry about other positions.I'm not so sure that we'll be signing a left wing-back.

Dorgu most likely isn't ready to start if we want to win leagues immediately. However, seeing as we are playing the long game, I think we will persist with Dorgu as a starter.
Kamason and Garnacho on the right ( Garnacho is better and lesss selfish on the right). Agree Amad is better as a second 10 alongside Bruno or as replacement for Bruno if he needs breakNot sure I am in the minority here but I much prefer Amad as one of the 10s.

He's not got a chance as a wingback. The physicality is night and day.Dorgu and Amass on the left.

It's unfortunate. He isn't a player I would like to lose. I consider him to be technically better and more naturally talented than both Leon and Dorgu. The latter two are definitely ahead of him in terms of physicality though. I think Amass will go on to be a really good player.He's not got a chance as a wingback. The physicality is night and day.
Stamina falls under athleticism?I don't think it's crucial. Two of the League best "wing-back" in Robertson and Trent, are not physical monsters. They're doing fine. In the past, Evra and Cole were alright. Amad might work as RWB if he stays healthy and we have another good AM.
The crucial element should be on stamina and skill.

Maybe. Although he has been terrific in that position.I don’t think Amad has the running power for the role.
Go on, what do you mean by ‘bottles it’? Most people use this as some sort of catch all term that means absolutely nothing. I’ve no idea what you think the impact of him ‘bottling it’ is?Like everything about him apart from when he gets near goal. Whether its a pass or a shot he bottles it. Hopefully can be sorted.

I like the idea of having Amad at RWB because it allows you to cheat a bit and sneak in an extra attacking option. If we decide to use Amad as a 10, I'd like us to bring in a RWB who is a bit more naturally talented than Dorgu. Quenda would have been perfect obviously, but just someone who is more polished in a technical and creative sense than Dorgu.He's so talented I think he'd show good stuff anywhere on the pitch.
I just think when you have to marshall the entirety of one side of the pitch you need to be extremely athletic and durable. I'm not sure Amad is.
Dorgu is the kind of athlete I think you need ideally for that role.
He will get quite a few openings given how active he is going forward. Against Sociedad I wish he’d just put his foot through it, rather than trying to place though.Was watching the highlights again.
He certainly likes a shot, he's going to score a few belters.

Nothing strange in saying that. New player who at present has zero goals and zero assists and needs to get some stats. He had plenty of opportunities in the Sociedad game to both score and assist but did neither. I'm looking at his actions in those situations and can see he looks a bit nervy.Go on, what do you mean by ‘bottles it’?

I'm assuming that Amad won't be the starting RWB next season. We obviously pursued Quenda for a reason, so logically, we will target someone else. I like what Dorgu offers, but we've been sold a dream with Quenda, so hopefully we are in for a similar type of player. There's just something special about a more refined technical option. A right sided Nuno Mendes would be a joy.Yeah agree. Important for that athleticism to technical ability balance.
It's such a demanding role though and Amad hasn't shown us yet he can go a full Prem season without a fairly serious injury.
A player who won a penalty and whose run got a player sent off. Be careful when you use stats. Those two things significantly helped us win the match.Nothing strange in saying that.

Unless you can start a new column for amounts of: "penalties won" and "getting players sent off" then it won't mean very much and won't figure on his CV. Anyway not really my point. You're getting away from the subject which had to do with his play in and around the opponents penalty box.A player who won a penalty and whose run got a player sent off.

You brought up assists. Which is pointless. Look at his overall play and impact. Selective stats mean nothing. He hasn’t ‘bottled’ anything - that’s bang on point.Unless you can start a new column for amounts of: "penalties won" and "getting players sent off" then it won't mean very much and won't figure on his CV.

I think he has been very good but not due to the position. He is the only player in our team who looks like a somewhat modern attacker who uses his brain during games and is technical enough to take on players. In our team, this alone makes him stick out like a diamond with coal. Right now, he is a bit behind in terms of physicality which is why a wider position suits him better (just like SAF played young attackers on the wings first) but his future has to be more centrally. As others said, I don't think he has the physicality for the wingback position.Maybe. Although he has been terrific in that position.
