Sarri wants key decision made on Ampadu by end of season

Clearly he should be CB. He's not technical enough for midfield or fast enough for fullback. At CB he could be perfect and IMO he has the highest ceiling of all our CBs

Tend  to agree with you on this one Haz! He should concentrate on mastering the CB position. He has all the tools to become a World Class player in that position.

He fit Conte's style like a glove, but for Sarri's style of pace and passing he isn't the best.

He is still very young and has all the potential to get better.

surely he can be effective as a Sarriball CB

his passing as a MF for Wales looked cracking

That is what I thought. I guess Sarri doesn't think he should be starting instead of Luiz and Christensen.
Maybe if we hadn't lost so many big games Sarri would have less pressure to start his preferred players in every game, as they appear as a more "must win" games than maybe they should.

he is as pacy (moreso I think maybe) as Azpi (granted that doesnt mean he is Wan-Bissaka fast, lol)

why not give a runout at RB? Azpi has been run into the fucking ground (and had his career shortened) due to insane minutes (4300 to 4700 each year) over the last 5 years

 

I see EVERY giant team in world playing players all over, literally EVERY one

save one

US

this is why half of me wants Sarri sacked

fucking stubborn as shit

Probably because Azpi is the captain. I agree Ampadu should have more minutes, but I don't really see him as a RB.

well, I hope he is ready to rock as a CB IF Luiz leaves and we have no summer 2019 window

Tomori is not ready IMHO

and if we cannot bring in a new one

that leaves only

Rudiger

AC

Amps

and Azpi (as a stopgap, especially if Reece James comes good)

and (dog forbid) an ancient Cahill

Agreed. If Christensen takes Luiz's position in the team and Ampadu takes Christensen's I wouldn't be worried at all!
