[Albion] Tariq Lamptey

Lamptey: Chelsea 0 BHA 10, see ya you mugs, up to £3m

He's a kid playing against the best club side on the planet. He outpaced EVERYONE.

Unless he gets a bad injury, he'll play for England.

What a set of defenders we have. It's amazing.

Just imagine how great it's going to be booooing him.

"For F**k Sake Lamptey, get rid now"



Oh the stuff of dreams.

Great attacking play. However thought he struggled in defence against top players. Just couldnt understand why wide players were not marked closer and just allowed to have the ball. Can only assume Potters instructions Strange

In the first half especially, I thought he nullified several fast counter attacks. Because he did it effortlessly, it passed under most of our radars.

Not mine..Brilliant player, absolute quality, world class in the making!

Lot of people were giving same grief about Bruno when he first joined forgetting it takes a while to settle in and build a undertsnading with whoever is around you. The lad has done brilliantly.

The trouble with Lamptey is that he’s a Marmite player.

Only 99.5% of Albion fans think he’s exceptionally good.

He ruined one of their wonderkids to the extent he got booked and then hooked.

Liverpool mates texted me to say they’ll have him off us in 2-3 seasons. Very impressed with.

I had a text from a Liverpool supporting friend too - 'Lamptey looks a player.'

Made an absolute mug of their young left back at times last night. Bet he was relieved to be hauled off at half time.

Maybe Lamptey is more of a midfielder. Great going forward, but keeps making the wrong decision.

Is that a wooshy from Washie?

You are of course correct that he could play in midfield and Potter did that against United. He’d also be a constant threat played up front.

But, he defended brilliantly against some of the best players in the world last night. Nothing to do with the first two goals conceded and I attach no blame whatsoever to him for the third. Pretty much impossible to stop. Salah has made a brilliantly timed run outside of the goalposts into a position from which headers are hardly ever scored. A perfect cross and a perfect header. To stop it Lamptey would have had to be completely committed from the outset to physically preventing that particular run and, if positioned thus, that would have made him less able to deal with Salah’s more likely threat from within the goalposts. (TBF Ryan should of done better with it. Beaten at his near post again. Does that bloke ever save anything?[emoji3])

 

[Wrong-Direction]

For a 19 year old rookie against top of the league players, I thought he was outstanding in defence and attack. Prevented an awful lot of lightning quick counter attacks coming to something.

Tired in the second half and Robertson is far better than Neco Williams.

A basic mistake for the third goal, but that identical error is made by PL and ‘international’ stalwarts.

Not sure he was defensively brilliant, he got breezed passed on a number of occasions first and second half, Chamberlain beat him a number of times. It was the first chinks in the armour I’ve seen so far and an indication why Chelsea let him go. He’s very young though so hopefully quick to learn.

But even when beaten he doesn't stay beaten for very long.

You could almost see Ox and Salah think 'right he's done I've got that extra second I need' - 'wtf, where did he come from'.

Chelsea didn't want him to go anywhere, they'd offered him a new long term contract that he was stalling on and was on the verge of signing a pre-contract agreement with Lille. We took advantage of that and got him on the cheap knowing that Chelsea would want to at least recoup some money for him rather than losing him to an overseas side for nothing in the summer.

He's going to get beaten some of the time, every footballer does, and this was a game against a side who have won the Champions League and Premier League, and he still looked like he belonged at that level. The good far outweighed the bad and this lad has a very bright future ahead of him, Chelsea will be smarting they've lost him but he's shown some hunger by leaving the comfort of Chelsea in search of actually playing, there is only one team that is going to benefit from that and its us.

Williams really, really ought to have been booked for that - the fact Lamptey got away, doesn’t alter the cynical intent.

Talking of cynical Gomez should have been sent off.

2 Liverpool players off, a nice backhanded compliment.

Annoying that Williams wasn't booked for that attempt to pull him down. It was enough to stop Lamptey beating the next defender (Henderson?) to the ball and giving away a free kick himself. Can refs. still book players for the attempted foul when they play advantage as in this situation?

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

And the foul by Williams meant Lamptey was unable to escape the next challenge. Clear booking, not given and not mentioned by the commentators.

My criticism of him was only a few moments from last night in response to a comment that said 'defensively brilliant' . It wasn't a general comment about his game overall, just that I thought he did struggle a bit defensively 'last night', I think I added for the first time in an Albion shirt, and of course it was against top quality opposition. I didn't know why he left Chelsea, so thanks for that. He's going to be a very very good player for us for sure, not doubting that for a second at this point, and I'm only outlining that he is likely to improve, which on his showings so far, is only a good thing right?
