Correlation not causation. Blaming the formation/system is not correct in this case, in my view.

In short, I don't think Amad is that good - well, not good enough to be an automatic starter in a team with title winning aspirations, handy squad player though.

He had a purple patch last season and it hasn't really continued into this. (pre and post manager change) He works hard though and can beat a man, I will give him that.
 
His end product has been piss poor this season.

It is a weird pair. Mbeumo is very much a runner and finisher, really a striker on the wing, doesn't have the 1 v 1 capabilities you would like while Amad can dribble but isn't finishing.
 
This is why we still need some wide players in the summer.

If Amad, and now Cunha, are off it, we have no one in the squad who can dribble their man and carry the ball, which you need if you're going to be competing for trophies.
 
Yeah, this is the big issue; he’s playing himself out of a starting position for the next season at the rate he’s going. He’s not looking like a starter and hasn’t for quite some time. He’s supposed to thrive as a forward without the wingback responsibilities.
He'll be very lucky to be a starter next season and can thank the need to improve other positions immediately that he may slip the net.


He's not performing like a starter at all.
 
He has been quite good first few games though? He just wasn't scoring/assisting. It definitely went south very quickly though.

I do wonder if he's being instructed to play "the Antony" role? I feel it's strange he's that timid.
I am too upset to give an objective review so yh he's been shit even though he was good early on :lol:
 
No worse than the rest of the team today.. Put it on a plate for Sesko first half and Sesko was too timid
 
Next season is really big if he wants to be a long-term player here. He needs to step up.
 
He's going to be 24 years old in 2 months time.

Maybe it's just me but I always think he is younger than he actually is.

With all due respect he was our 1 or 2 best player last season so he has time -

But he isn't a wonderkid anymore he needs to start playing like a player entering his prime.

If we didn’t have too many other pressing concerns, like midfield and full backs, I’d say we should’ve been looking to move him on this summer. He contributes very little, and is looking more and more like Antony with each passing game.

Luckily for him, we do have other pressing concerns, so he’ll get another season to prove his worth. Hope he remembers how to get past a man soon.
 
Silky player whose output is nowhere near good enough.

He really needs to find another level next season.
Find another club more like. He's not good consistently good enough for us to improve and we don't have time to wait.
 
He's better as a wingback, it plays to his strengths much more as he can join the attack late and has more players around him to interchange with. As a winger he gets too isolated.
 
He was obviously dissappointing with his shooting and end product as he has been all season. However, but for 1 good cross from Mbeumo I felt we were even worse down the right wing after he came off.
 
I like him, but his output is nowhere near good enough. He has to be offering a lot more than he is. If he was at any other club in the world, he would be told exactly the same thing.
 
He’s had a bad season, very poor tonight and needs to improve.

I think our attackers are all ok but Amad, Cunha, Mbeumo and Sesko are more like squad players in a team that challenges for the title not starters.

I agree but some people thought him playing WB was him being wasted rather than it just suiting his game more
 
He needs to start delivering some G/A and fast.

I watched the kid at Como the other day. Let’s not let players like Amad block moves for great talent on the RW too. He needs competition.

TBF, I thought he created a great chance for sesko in the first half

Agreed. I've said it for ages, he is one of those that often passes the eye test because he moves nicely with the ball and can pass and move a bit, but just doesn't impact games regularly enough.
