Ethan Ampadu...

[J R Hartley]

Ampadu likes to fire off an early pass with some pace on the ball, but I could see a lot of the Spezia players were more focussed on trying to control the ball instead of thinking 2 or 3 moves ahead. The better teams spend months on these things, doing daily drills until they get it right, but you need the right type of players to begin with.

Perhaps Spezia should give you a call so you can show their coaches where they are going wrong.

No problem butt, if you can get a consortium together and raise €200m, I will guarantee you a Top 10 finish

He’s poor tonight so far

[Harry Paget Flashman]

When ingurlund won the World Cup in 1966, Alf Ramsey said something like “Martin Peters is 10 years ahead of his time”, meaning that, he (Martin) could see a pass, but his fellow players didn’t have the nous to make the run.

I see Ethan a bit like that, wanting to make the pass but nobody seeing the space.

Obviously, others might say, “no, it’s a shit pass”

It’s all about opinions

At the time, Martin was 23

Yeah, but you are more like Alf Garnett than Alf Ramsey.

He's a good player

Not good enough for the armchair analysts on here

But feck em

How? What's going to happen? Some mysterious guru coach who can make him do the things that should come naturally, and then tweaked in terms of composure, concentration etc? In my opinion, coaching can bring only so much to a player. We have watched enough football to see that certain players, in fact lots of players, make the same mistakes time after time, and they work on it as well. They just can't get it for some reason, some players can't be taught certain aspects of a game because they don't have the ability to understand where they're going wrong, it's not their fault. I can't see Ampadu improving a great deal. He will always have it in him to switch off a loose concentration in my opinion, or put himself in poor positions. His thinking is his problem in my opinion, although he is naturally gifted.

I don’t believe that he is a world beater nor that Man City would be interested in him…
But could we agree that Pep might be able to improve him?

He's gonna run the show tonight!

I suggested in this thread, Ampadu could do OK at some mid table club in a top division in a country that wasn't as intensive or quick as the Premier League.

Can I retract that suggestion please?

But it’s everyonelse around him dragging him down mun.

I think he should take a break from international football and focus on establishing himself as a semi-decent League One player.

Like Joe Morrell. Not a bad idea.

Seen so many stupid comments. But you might be a winner.

Why would I want to do that? I’m Welsh. You’re the one who said previously he couldn’t care for the national team and yet you are all over every thread on the national team giving your opinion like the national teams answer to Dai Hunt. Yet more hypocrisy.

Overbearing kent
