" I lost count of the amount of times he gave the ball away".
Actually his pass success rate was equal to or better than - Morgan, Chillwell, Ndidi, Pereira, Maddison,
and Gray
Worst player ive seen in the pl
Think he did okay against Sanchez, and Shaw had a very good game.
Don't forget the way we play means our RW (Mata) ends up coming across too. It's no coincidence that defensively we were weak on our right and going forward it all came through the left.
His performance against us last season however, was pure comedy.

And what about pass success rate in key areas of the pitch? Blanket stats can be very misleading
Was very poor.
Doubt he’ll stay at right back with gray a lock for the left and Ghezzal signed up to play on the right. Pereira will surely drop back to right back.
From an outsiders perspective I’d say puel was just looking for a short term solution until ghezzal adapts and has had time with the squad
So if he's this seasons scapegoat who's next when he is dropped this week or has to come on for an injury?
I notice no one mentions my mate not saving the second goal?
Yeah let’s hope so tiddles. Amartey is one of these modern ‘utility players’. Which basically means he’s gash in a variety of positions. He was absolutely horrific in central midfield under Ranieri

Why is it ok for you to have Kasper as a scapegoat but no one else is allowed to criticise players you like? Grow up

Chilwell looks a player
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah he’s very good. Lots to learn defensively but has united pegged back at times when he went forward
I would think so BS. Having pereira back there with ghezzal night front and chilwell and gray down the left will offer a lot going forward on either side. Will be a massive threat to any side.
Pereira and ghezzal should work well in theory too as ghezzal likes to come inside and pereira loves to overlap and stay wide, should be able to create space for one other doing that.

thats not what you said, anyway talking of key areas what about Pereira losing his man for their second goal, cant blame Danny Boy for that.

It should absolutely obvious that a defender giving the ball away is going to be more costly than someone like Demarai Gray. You’re just picking out sky stats to back up a horrendous performance. God knows why....
And when did I blame him for the second goal? What an odd thing to say
People have made reasonable points. Pereira also looked much better as a winger than a right back. This isn’t a surprise since he recently converted from that position.
However, is Pereira going to be reliable at full back either? And if he’s not and we need a full back that can defend whilst the midfield do the biz in front of him, then it’s very confusing why Puel picked Amartey over Simpson.
In fact, I totally don’t undersatand Amartey’s inclusion. He can’t defend and he can’t really attack. So what does he offer over Simpson who can at least do one?
I guess he is more of a utility player and if the plan is to drop Pereira back then it makes sense having him in the squad.
How much he’ll feature going forward I don’t know. I hope not a great deal. I like the lad, I just don’t quite know what position he actually excels in. He seems average at most.
Talking of scapegoat's
Amartey - lethal
Benny - lethal
morgan- getting slow
evens- has some classics in his locker
chilwell - has he developed or still going to make the same mistakes
grey - ditto above
No shortage of players to have a go at over the season
Then theirs the new boy's who don't perform after a few weeks
And of course
Puel
Should be an interesting duck shoot!!

I didn't understand yesterday why as a temporary measure he didn't play
Simpson pereira or pereira Albrighton
Hi BS. I went to Old Trafford and am going to post some player ratings shortly. I actually thought Amartey played OK. Yes - the handball was stupid and basically gave United the immediate upper hand but after that I thought he (and the team generally) put it behind them and grew into the game rather than buckle, which could have happened.
I actually quite like Amartey (I know I am in the minority) and think he's a decent RB. His tackling is decent, his positioning is pretty good and he's quite good on the ball. He's got a howler (like the handball) in him and that does detract from his all round play, and given a run of games I think he may surprise some people.
I guess we all see things differently.
Not like you to over react BS you post a turkey shoot post and then react when someone does not agree. I would not think that Amartey is long term and Puel wants Simpson out so why pick him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I can’t see him being at fault for that goal. He decided to cover the angle to his nearest goalpost which he did well as this looked the likely place the ball was going to be sent. The ball only just evaded him heading for the far post. Difficult to cover both sides of the goal when you commit to one side I think.
I don’t see that FFS. Amartey looks like a liability constantly with me. He looks uncomfortable in the ball, like a yellow card a minute and out of position a lot.
Bit to be fair, I wasn’t at the game and am only commenting based on the tv coverage and all the other games I’ve watched him in.
What was encouraging is that other players really look to have grown in to puel’s style gray had his first game ever in a leicester shirt that I was genuinely impressed with. His chasing back and tackle in the second half to stop a counter and put us back on the front foot took me back. Couldn’t believe who I was watching.
Chilwell the same. Silva I personally thought was excellent. All players with big question marks before the game.
But Amartey did nothing to change my views.

Benny isn’t in the first team and Morgan won’t be. We haven’t seen Evans yet and Chilwell is a kid.
Sounds like you’re deflecting the criticism away from Amartey - I’m not sure why because of Gray had turned in a performance like that he would be absolutely slated on these boards.

I'm with you FFS, but don't see him as more than a squad player who can give some cover in a variety of positions.
By the way, if Simpson has been told he's not wanted, why has he got squad number 2? Compare with Kingy who's been dumped out at 37?

Simpson hasn’t got a future at the club that’s well known. I’m don’t think squad numbers have as much significance these days. If Amartey were just a back up option I probably wouldn’t be slating him as much but I’m concerned he is more than that. And it’s an deauate back up in any case
