Shame we’re aren’t more like Brighton
He gets into so many great positions where he needs his right foot and he just can’t do it. Doesn’t matter if it’s a cross, a pass or a shot. He is minus a right foot!
Responsible for the penalty and should’ve had an assist. Great workrate and some great pieces of play to keep possession in important moments.He wasn't utterly terrible, which is a form of progress, I suppose. Participated in some nice passage of play. But nothing can take away the fact he is a winger with 0 goals and 0 assists. A winger that doesn't provide threat is a terrible winger, I don't really care what "balance" he provides and how good he is defensively. Especially a winger with that price tag.
We need a new RW after selling Sancho and Pellistri.
His quality on the ball is great, his decisionmaking with the ball.....that's another thing.His quality on the ball is so bad. The chance after 15 minutes when he hits a weak curler is so clearly a situation where he can play the easiest possible pass on his left foot for Bruno to have a 1on1. I’m not sure we have any other option to play RW but Amad has a clear route to the first 11 when he gets fit.
Thought he was brilliant last night, kept possession so many times for us in important occasions where other players 100% would’ve lost it and put us in some awful defensive situations on the turnover.When we're rating a 100 MP winger's performance based on 'he worked hard', you know we're clutching at straws trying to find something positive.
He's just not a very good player, atleast for the level we are trying to achieve. There's a disappointment when one of our players passes him the ball in an attacking situation because you know he's going to screw it up.
It's difficult to see someone playing above 50 MP for him not only based on his performances for us but also his past Ajax performances, which weren't that great as well.
It was quite interesting to watch him live. Most of the times Dalot was attacking Antony immediately ran back to cover his position and was regularly applauded by his teammates for it. He seems to be very tactically astute. Makes you appreciate his efforts more. However it's at the same time very frustrating to see how many poor decisions he makes offensively, most notably yesterday when he could have passed it to a teammate either better placed or through on goal (like Bruno in the first half). Instead he is so focused on getting a shot off.Thought he was brilliant last night, kept possession so many times for us in important occasions where other players 100% would’ve lost it and put us in some awful defensive situations on the turnover.
Helped win the pen, should’ve had an assist but for McTom’s brainfart.
People are just odd with him, like his performance somehow gets better if McTom simply doesn’t lose his head, because stats are more important.
And he should have had an assist for McTominay, when McTominay was played through and slipped. So if McTominay and Bruno had done their part, he would have had two assists. I thought he was quite decent yesterday, albeit not world class or anything close to that level. He's tidy. He keeps the ball well, and he is good at bringing others into play. He really needs to use that right foot though.He won a penalty by a stupid decision and execution. That's about it.
Agree that although we got the penalty from it, it was an awful decision to cut inside into traffic and not go on the outside where there was loads of space where he would have got an unimpeded shot off, but luckily thanks to brain dead Chelsea player he got the penalty.He won a penalty by a stupid decision and execution. That's about it.

Yea, he should have had couple of assists last night but for his teammates' finishing. Some posters are being unfairly critical of him. Almost like they have an agenda against him.Genuinely puzzled at some of the comments about last night. He played well, pressed relentlessly and but for wasteful finishing could have easily bagged a couple of assists at very least.
Will agree he need to refind his shooting boots though but he was no more wasteful than many others yesterday. Think next penalty we get should go to him or Rasmus as it could do either a world of good
Not trying to be confrontational here but did you watch the game?Tried hard but he is incapable of judging a pass or even a shot on goal as he gives the ball away or hits a pass back to the opposition goalkeeper.
I reallly hope Amad comes good as he has all the tools to make that RW position his own.
Surely not?Not trying to be confrontational here but did you watch the game?
Shooting is something you can improve over the period of time. I would encourage to take more shots if he can eventually improve.I see a glimpse of Bernardo Silva in him today ; if he cut all the crap shooting , that would be solid performance that we can give more appreciation with.
Some people are only capable of judging a performance based on whether a played scored, kept a clean sheet, assisted a goal etc...Not trying to be confrontational here but did you watch the game?
