Ethan Ampadu

[Working Class Hero]

Why did he never put in a good tackle like that for us?

Deserved red just for that.

Deserves a red for stepping over the ball and turning on the edge of his own box, while he's got a striker up his arse you mean? Exactly the sort of crap he did for us.

I wouldn’t have sent him off in real time but it’s really not as bad a decision as people are making out. Over the ball, studs up and into his ankle. Yes Ribery clearly makes a meal of it but it’s a clumsy tackle at best, reckless at worst, plus he’s the last defender as Ribery breaks forward. You always run the risk.

He absolutely should use his right foot here. I bet you that doesn’t get overturned.

Wouldn't say it was over the ball more like the side of the ball.

How is he supposed to tackle flat footed?

Agree he should have gone with his right foot but I've seen worse tackles where the player was not even booked.

State of this FFS..

In defense of the lad, that's one of the weakest reds I've ever seen, appalling reffing.

How is he supposed to tackle flat footed isn’t a defence. You can’t studs up someone’s ankle, however you tackle.

I wouldn’t have sent him off but I can see why the ref has. I think VAR has no need to overturn whatever decision was made.

This is the problem with taking a screenshot of a particular moment and trying to make sense of what happened. When you watch it in full you can see that he doesn't go over the ball, it was the side of the ball. He also doesn't go into Ribery's ankle, though it looks like he does on that image.

Edit: and if you watch the video in slow motion, rather than looking at a still image you will notice that Ampadu turns his foot by the time Ribery gets there so his studs aren't towards him anyway

I’ve watched it in Slo mo. Take your point but it looks to me like he slides his foot down the ankle. can’t say I agree but take your point.

Poor tackle and although he’s unfortunate, brought it on himself.

I didn't realise that ugly twat Ribery was still playing.

Chelsea must have more players out on loan than in their first team squad.

Was either last season or the season before they had 49 players out on loan

I could be wrong but I think UEFA or FIFA have been put a ban on that kind of nonsense now.

 

[Alan Roberts' Jinking Run]

Never a red, fck me the game is done if that is a red

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Just seen that he's suffered his third consecutive relegation

So over rated by some on here 3 relegations in a row and he doesn't hold down a position, that's without how crap he is aswell.

 

[JohnDenver]

Definitely not coming back.

 

[Revolution]

I can’t think about Ampadu without thinking of him chickening out of tackling Eze at Palace. Hence I think his relegations are hilarious.

No doubt Whoscored are still trumpeting his brilliance.

 

[South Sea Blade]

If FallowfieldBlade had his way, he would be guaranteeing himself and us to another relegation next season.

I can see him going on a free to Cardiff City at this rate.

One thing not doing it for us in the PL but he is struggling out on loan abroad. I expect Chelsea will cut him loose.

Ampa-du-du-du
Shoehorn him into a back 3
Ampa-du-du-du
Or midfield, defensively

Out on loan, out on loan, out on loan
Doing awfully
Ampa-du-du-du
Bagging Chelsea a loan fee...

Let's be fair to the lad, he's been sent out three seasons in a row to struggling clubs (that could have been his choice mind).

He'll be fine in the championship

He wouldn't be as a central defender.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

I think he'll get a better move than most on here seem to expect

 

[ReeceofBDTBL]

Poundshop Eric Dier, I’ll never feel bad slagging off a player who cost us so many goals in the most humiliating season in my 30 odd years following this club.

He’s SHITE!

Fine? Bottom half squad player for a long ball team you mean. Come to think of it, would love to see him sign for the pigs

 

[JJ Sefton]

Shit player.

 

[Yogi]

He wouldn't be as a central defender.

Agree I wonder if he ends up as a fullback

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Sunderland on loan is my guess. Decent football, fairly competitive, fairly pressure crowd fanbase to try and cope with.

Gives me the shivers at the thought !

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

It amazes me how people can feel this antagonistic to a guy that was 19 when he was loaned out to us, a team that was one of the worst teams in premier league history. How was he supposed to shine in an environment like that?

 

[Weasel]

If he was on a free and his wages were relatively cheap then he might be worth a punt. But being honest, he was poor that season we got relegated (as we're most of the team) and he's hardly shone since he left (and been relegated 3 times on the bounce!). Still a relative pup but I see no reason why we would think 'hes untapped potential' more than many other players who are 21 and who haven't just had 3 seasons of failure. I'm not saying he's a non starter but I was less than impressed and I see nothing to suggest he's worth signing now. Leave well alone and learn from past mistakes. I wish him well though.

 

[Harry's Game]

He would struggle in The Championship let alone in The Prem.
