He was 100% ready from the day we signed him. He was already this dangerous at Atalanta and he was superb whenever Ole played him in that first season. He scored and played excellently in a European quarterfinal for crying out loud. His stint at Rangers was plagued with the same issue that plagued him in the Ten Hag era. Playing for an incompetent manager who has no clue what a good talent looks like. The two times he has played under managers who believed in him enough to give him a proper chance, he has shone brightly. Its why I always challenge people who think the manager always knows best. No they do not always know best. Especially when they are grossly incompetent at their jobs.

Thank you Ole!

His better games have been playing as a RWB, will be interesting to see what his long term position is once Amorim manages to bring in his profile of players over the next two windows.
Get a proper RWB behind him and he'll be even better.
For some reason I read that in Jim Ross voice
Murtough signing.
He's been our best player for a couple of months now.
Yeah he's class. Probably our POTY so far.
Would probably be on his way elsewhere if ten hag was still around
If you watched him at Sunderland, it wasn't glimpses. A few of us here used to watch Sunderland and discuss his games. He was a consistent game changer after the first few weeks of getting to know his teammates.
I'll be honest, there was a tiny bit of doubt as to whether he'd be able to do it in the PL, but it was clear he was at least miles better than Antony.
The loan to Rangers was a farce. I believe Gerrard was the one who got him in and then promptly left?
Either way, he did very well his first game or (may have even scored), then if I remember correctly, Van Bronkhorst threw him into the Old firm derby away, he had a poor game in a match where Celtic completely outplayed Rangers, and after that, he was out in the cold and only played if there was absolutely no one available.
Probably? You could give him our player of the season award tonight.
People genuinely believe the manager suggests and signs all the players
Team’s top goal scorer this season with 9 goals, 2nd on G/A with 16, only behind Bruno
I think Onana, Mazraoui and Bruno aren't that far behind him. But yes, he's still ahead of them. If the vote was tonight he'd for sure win (even without recency bias).
So Ole knew what he is doing after all..
It is incredible to think we had Amad all along and yet paid 90M Euros for Antony and still Amad had to wait 2.5 years to get a decent opportunity

He too was frustrating on several occasions before the goals but you can't say much when a player finishes the game like that. Well done to Amad, he saved us. Was he still a RWB towards the end when he scored or moved to that position behind the striker?
Can I get a new tagline please for my 100% backing of Amadona?
Mad about Amad will do or something similar.

From where he was pressing from to score his third, it looked like he'd swapped with Antony by then. I think it's better for them both.
Bingo.
He's not even really started to cut in and score with his left foot yet for us which he did at Sunderland. I understand that was a level down but he's got every tool imaginable.
I didn't understand why Antony came on as a 10. His previous good cameos were as a wingback and he was rubbish against Spurs as a 10.
Yeah Antony is poor in attack and can be decent at RWB.
Don't look now but he's 1 goal and 3 assists away from a double-double season
Feel confident he'll get there

I actually think he'll hit that in the league. He's only getting started.
I hope the 'play him at RWB' comments stop now.
All our of progressive play pretty much stopped dead in its tracks in the first half because he was busy being basically a right back to give support to Yoro.

I didn't think he had this physical tenacity in him, been a wonderful surprise.
Yeah he definitely offers something there as I'm sure he would in a lot of positions but it does make sense for him not to spend half the game in his own half.
Weird how people are crediting Ole, who didn't rate him or play him. This one's all on the scouting team.
Yeah. Would be a bit different if you had some freakish expansive passing RCB and CM to cover in the build up and essentially let him play high and wide, but right now he has to track so deep in build up it’s pointless (especially when the best option ended up being hoofing it to a front 3 of all terrible hold up players)
Get out.
Not sure where this credit for Ole is coming from. Ole hadn't even seen Amad play when we signed him, and thought he was an academy signing. He didn't ask for him and was chasing Sancho. This was reported by Laurie Whitwell in The Athletic some time ago.
The game was too late for me and I just woke up to a news of Amad rescuing us with a hattrick, what a player.
Defenders are petrified from him. The way Walker-Pieters was backing off from him all the time. It was in vain.
I absolutely love this guy. I bought the white third kit this august and have been waiting to put a name on the shirt. Going tomorrow to put Diallo’s name on it. Man, he deserves it.
Anyone else catch the reaction shot after his winner of the joyful Manc lad in the stands proudly wearing an Amad kit with the back side facing forward

It's time to move on brother, it's been months, baldy can't hurt you anymore.
Can't believe Manucho didn't get more.
