Whilst that is nothing to write home about at all we can tell that he’s strong, reasonably quick, gets up and down the pitch and has good basics like touch and passing ability. That is a big improvement on previous recruitment where we’ve actively seemed to find players with these deficiencies
 
You must rotate him Rubén. One game at right wing back, the next game LWB, the 3rd game as LCB, an so on. Just try and completely mess with the lads head.

1. Try Amad as RWB in one game. He is sensational.
2. Stop playing Amad as RWB, put ill-suited Maz there.
3. Have 2 left footed defenders crocked, let your last leftie to go on loan
4. Buy a leftie, play him on the right and let Dalots struggle on the wrong side to continue.

Are you deliberately trying to get sacked, mr. Amorim?

It was probably planned. Give him an half to get use to the tempo and stuff.

Yeah also think it was planned. Like the look of him. Difficult game to be introduced to English football. Leicester were very aggressive and pressed well. Outside of a few wobbly moments he did good. Good profile, athletic, strong, fast with some good ball control. Looks promising. Type of player we should target, young with a lot of upside potential physically suited to the league and not on crazy wages.

If playing at home to Leicester is a difficult game to be introduced to English football, there are no easy games

Not in a regular game but being a cup game they were well up for it. As seen multiple times team names mean little in cup games.
 
From what I saw, he´d be perfectly servisable as a LWB, and more going forward. Ton of aggression, drives forward, just let him do his things.
Saw that clip of the first training session, streaming live. It was all in full pelt, players doing cut backs from outside with their strong foot. And they scored from it, everyone enjoying it, even Johny Evans said its the best training session since Busby.

What the feck is this, asking a new guy Dorgu commin´ straith into disjointed team, playing on wrong side? I like you Ruben but this is, sorry for my word, stupid.

I think I read on previous posts that Amorim did that for supervision purpose. He can guide him as he is on the coach side. Although this is the first time i heard a coach using such tactic.
 
He's just going to keep playing him on the right. Managers do this weird shit all the time. Like having Shaw and Bruno take out swinging corners that never beat the first man instead of letting them get better at in swingers on their good side. Master stroke from ETH

Then bring him on in the second. But playing him on the wrong side aside, I thought he looked pretty decent. I’m looking forward to seeing more of him.
 
As the great Brian Clough once said "football is a simple game".
 
@Ayoba exactyl.

Just play him LWB, Dalow RWB - give them attacking license and live with the fact our 3 CBs will have to scramble a lot. When they have the ball, put it into the mixer, Hojlund is fast and big, Zirzkee is big and good at flick ons/control, Bruno is good at arriving in the box. If you don't put the ball into the box you'll never threaten anything. If we still see Hojlund/Zirkzee struggling with lots of deliveries we know there's an issue, as it stands they get scraps to try and make magic from (or just no passes at all).

Guess which team is 18th in the league for number of crosses?
 
Nothing exciting ability wise but at least he has the speed and power for the league. Easier to coach and develop this kind of players, I'm tires of having a weak slow squad, out paced and out run each week.
 
Time to develop but I could see the difference between a traditional full back playing the role and Dorgu's brief 45 minutes. He looked to join the attack at every opportunity where Maz would have been hesitant due to his urge to defend first in mindset.

But not sure why he’d start on the right and continue playing Dalot out of position on the left. Probably Amad on the right and Dorgu left would make more sense

I said it based on what Sporting fans has been telling us about his preference for a left footer as a RWB. Dalot can play both sides and played on the left a lot when he was on loan to Milan. Ruben also seems to prefer inverted WB's.

Amad on the right and Dorgu on the left would be my preference too. I have been calling for us to go more attacking and stop with playing five defenders on the pitch.
 
He certainly bumps up the physicality base of the team!

Lots of things to like within that 45 mins period.

Exactly. a championship team facing the likes of Liverpool might want to play with 2 full backs in this system to get 5 defenders. But as the club we are, this formation should not be a solely defensive one. Wingbacks should play like wingbacks. They are very important to making or breaking the system. Hope he does the sensible thing which we both agree on

They double down more when fans and the media question them about it. It's an ego thing.
 
Haven't seen much of him but the athleticism gap already makes our recent transfers seem even more criminal.

Oh please. Leicester is a stinky bad team. They're relegation level. We're just bad too
