Ethan Ampadu...

[Jordi Culé]

His nickname is going to end up as Jonah or Uncle Albert at this rate.

Watched the Spezia v Hellas Verona match last night where he had a memorable game, not for all the right reasons.

Hope he defends for Wales better than last nights showing although he did look OK going forward.

Re: Ethan Ampadu...

Crazy game, he scored a screamer and hit the crossbar with a delicate chip too.

He really needs to leave Chelsea, they way they've handled him is piss poor. Two years in a row they've kept him until late August and left him scrambling for a move late in the window, hence Venezia & Spezia

do massive deflections count as screamers these days?

He's a quality utility player

Imagine him in the engine room at CCFC

he's a quality player and still only 22 so has a high ceiling still, especially as the positions he is playing in tend to mature slightly later.
I wish he would pick a position and specialise in it though, will be better for him in the long run

My apologies, after a quick review I can now see that he scored a tap-in, and also misplaced a pass which accidentally hit the crossbar.

I don't think that it's his choice where he plays, exclusively. He may we'll have a preferred position.

I would play him in front of the back four

Not quite a kav type playmaker but still able to pass from deep

He's no modric but then nor am I

It's his first senior goal. Tap in or screamer I doubt he's bothered.

A clever manager would play him in front of a back four, but also utilise his ability to drop into the CCB position when required. I believe this is the sort of thing that Pochettino does, although I hope Ampadu gets a move away from Chelsea before next season.

Would need a back 3 for an out and out defensive midfielder.

The right manager could make it work during specific transitions or defensive situations.

Re: Ethan Ampadu...
