You're making this up, my guy was injured at the start of the season, in his first cameo since his return, he did very well and somehow disappeared. He was quite poor the last time he played before yesterday's game though, so I'm surprised he wasn't left to waste away in the wilderness.

The only thing with Amad is I can’t work out what his best position is. I think he is more of a 10 than a RW. I’d like him in the middle with a lot of pace either side of him.
He needs a lot of game time now though, whether it is here or somewhere else, it would be great to see him stay injury free and get a lot of games.

Watched a video showing EtH reacting to every goal we scored. Didn't react at all when Amad scored the winner! Is there some sort of huge problem here which will see Amad leaving regardless of how he plays?
Weird cult developing here. Why wasn't he played when guys like Pellistri, Mainoo, Shoretire and Kambwala were getting their chances?
He's of course welcome to stay and try to take his chances but I don't want that for him because I too think he's good enough to start for a premier league side and he should be playing week in and week out for his development. There's no way that's happening here. Anyway, the context of the post was if Greenwood would start over him if we bring him back and I think it's night and day - of course he would.
Definitely good enough.
Speaking about footage, i`ll add an all touch comp where Sunderland played Fulham last year.
This is the same Fulham we always struggle against.
Just love watching him play
You seem missing the timeline on what’s going on for him. He had an injury from the first outing in preseason and just got back to training in Dec? He played his first minute against Nottingham Forest and did pretty well.
Not a cult, you can look back in this thread and I was very much of the opinion he had to earn his chances on merit and take his chance when he gets it. I don't know how you expect him to go on loan to lower premier league side, after proving he's more that capable to perform in our team.
He wasn't fit until January? Also when did Shoretire get his chance?
Why is there no way of that happening here? I don't think it's obvious Greenwood would, he does next to no defensive work and Amad is far more versatile.
His legs/running along with Antony's, Garnachos, and Dalots was a huge factor. Hope we use them and their energy more.
No.There is another angle which shows ETH celebrating the winner.
You can see that he doesn't know what is his role coming on as a sub. As the match wore on, he knows he needed to contribute no matter where he is on the pitch. A couple of winback against Liverpool counterattack, 2 fantastic block that leads to last 2 goals. I really hope ETH gives him a fair share of min until the last of the season. This kid can play, just tell him where he needs to attack and he is smart enough to be the difference maker.
Brentford would have been a nice game for him, shame he's suspended for it.
Scoring the winner against Liverpool on the 120th minute, celebrating passionately in front of the Stretford End, getting sent off, and walking down the tunnel like 'a boss' after that (like nothing happened) was the most hard-core stuff I have seen at this club in ages!
It's just how legends are made at this club! Take a bow kid.

It boggles the mind how some people can't see the obvious talent that is Amad.
I'm sorry if I come over aggressive but you don't seem to know what you're talking about.
Amad has been out for 126 days with a knee Injury. He recovered from it at the end of december, he was then injured in training and out with a separate issue until early Feb.
I'm not sure how many chances you can take when you're on the injury table. Also - he's been training for a month and was thrown in to the most important game of the season because ETH obviously thought he was our best shot of winning the game. So he got the biggest chance, on the biggest stage to show what he was about and he took it.
Maybe in the transfer thread?
In Norway, the thing with a thong between the toes is called a thong, or a g-string. Between the two big toes, that is.

See my other response to Rood, above. Definitely sliders.
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree as to his minutes up until recently, it seems to me like he's been well handled, having come back from injury and taken some time to regain fitness. The expectations on him have been made clear too; in his first opportunity back he made a crucial error, followed by a lack of effort, that led to us losing, now in his more recent appearances he's worked very hard out of possession. Garnacho wasn't as hard working earlier in the season, and was dropped for it. He's now come back into the team and earned a starting position, in part because he does so much work for the team.
Still though, if he goes on to get the minutes we all now agree he's earning, then most of this is moot anyway.
His first cameo was away at Forest, and it was his sloppy pass and lack of effort to retrieve it that led to the Forest winner. So "did very well" is generous at best, I suppose you could say that you're making it up.
This is the thing, it's also a cult to believe that every decision a manager takes is the best decision.
He will do good and bad choices like every human being.
If you believe ETH is fault-free, then you're delusional.
Hindsight, you think bringing on Forson last time would be a better choice than Amad?
Probably not, cause Forson was the worst player on the pitch, so please avoid this bias around manager decisions always being right.
He not only scored the winner, he was the guy who won the ball for our last two goals and followed it up with making the right passes and runs.
Slides. Not sliders.Sandals need to strap around the ankle. Those were clearly not sandals.

it's nothing to do with weaker or stronger foot. From the angle he was at and in particular, the way he striked the ball - you'd expect the ball to curl away from the post. Somehow, he arrowed the ball in a perfectly straight line along the smallest possible margin to score.
Is he just suspended for the next game?
I don't know what we're playing at anyway. We're discussing Amad Diallo in the sandals/sliders/flip flops thread for some reason!
Sliders in England.
Great finish and energy
He’s been managed really well. Let’s see how he reacts to all of this going forward now. I’d love to see him stake a legitimate claim before the season ends but I still think the best course of action for him personally is to go on loan next season and play every week, hopefully in the PL.

One of the two posts I was responded to actually used the phrase 'and with his weaker foot', so that's mainly why I was pointing out that his left is actually his stronger foot.
As regards angle, most players often try to use their stronger foot even when the angle means it would be better to use their weaker one. In this case, I thought the chance was there to try to work a shot with either foot really, but Amad being left footed I was fully expecting him to try to work it onto his left as he did.
The best course of action is surely for him to be first choice reserve for Garnacho on the right wing, possibly also getting some minutes for Bruno if we are comfortably ahead as a CAM? He will get plenty of minutes on that basis as we can also rotate Rashford and switch Garnacho to that side as well. If we actually do well in Europe next year (I’m assuming we won’t be in the CL) we will need a lot of squad depth.
Well i would think right foot would be better to curl into the far post, so the ball bends right to left or go for the near post. He shot it left footed, from a wide left angle into the far right corner with the GK dead centre in the goal. I can't remember the last time i saw saw a goal like that before. Even on his strongest foot, its a very very difficult goal to score.
He had Garnacho right there if the keeper parried it. He’d have passed otherwise I’d say. It’s a very difficult finish. Very little power on it
There are multiple videos of ETH celebrating the winner , no need to make stuff up just to make a point.
Nah that guy is not making up stuff. Our official twitter account posted a video of ETH's reaction to every goal we scored and for Amad's goal they put up a shot of him just standing there. Probably that reaction was him concerned with Amad taking his shirt off and getting sent off, but either way they did put that up and the clubs twitter account is to blame for that.
Its who gives a feck in the rest of the world.
I’ve seen him celebrating as the subs start to
run over to Amad
Not sure about that, he should've had more minutes since coming back from injury. Hopefully this goal is the catalyst to change that for the rest of the season - Brentford suspension aside.
Yep, I'm not questioning that at all. It's just weird that our official twitter account would post it that way which gives people something to question.
Lack of effort to retrieve it? You're creative, I'll give you that.
The boy overcompensated trying to redeem an error
Whatever happened in the past, here we are now and what we have now is a proper footballer who can co tribute to the squad. I would hate to see him sold.
Will he get a call up for Ireland?
