What a display from the 20year old”“A good defensive display from Amps”
“Ampadu today was great, really solid”
“A very good perfromance”
“Stuck his head on the chopping block in the two boxes. Slotted into the centre of defence seamlessly, after struggling in midfield against Jack Grealish and England on Thursday night. Produced a fine display at the back. Man of the match”
“Disappointed to see Ampadu playing CB again. Don’t get me wrong he is great there but he offers so much more than anyone else in the squad at CDM.”
“I think the direction of travel is certainly for Ampadu to be played in defence at club and international level. TB Leipzig were adamant that he’s a defender, Sheff U seem to be of the same mind and Giggs is clearly trying to give him some continuity in that position now too.”
“I can also see the benefit of providing Ampadu with some continuity if his preferred position has been decided.”
“If Giggs, Wilder and Lampard have all decided that he is a CB then I agree with the continuity. It just seems a shame and a bit of a waste of talent for Wales when he is a cut above the rest of our current CDM’s.”
“I think Ampadu is best suited to the middle of a back 3 with license to step into midfield. “
“Ampadu the most creative player today from CB, that says alot”
“Ampadu wasted in defence tho need him in the middle of the park”
“Ampadu is hugely missed in midfield”
“I think Rodon and Ampadu is the best possible pairing in central defence, but Allen and Ampadu is also the best combination at the base of midfield. I expect Ampadu may be our best striker and goalkeeper too though”
“We all dream of a team of Ampadu’s, a team of Ampadu’s . . . “
