I thought he did well, especially after the OG.

Nothing fazes this young fella, he just gets on with it.

Nothing fazes him !
Are you forgetting the last time he put on a Wales shirt?

I gave him bonus points for that There's nowt wrong with having a reputation for standing up for yourself, as long as you are not the instigator.

He looks to comfortable. From the own, he stood in the centre circle and retrieved the kick off. Strong mentality.

Post-match comment from Sarri:

‘The goal was not the fault of Ampadu. We were zonal marking, and at no point did we touch the ball in advance of the first zone, which is really a very big problem, so it’s not the fault of Ampadu.

‘Ampadu played a very good match, especially in a team like this. We need to consider that if Ampadu played in the usual team, it would be easier for him. Today we changed 10 players. It’s not easy for the young players to play in a new team like the one in this match.
