Not great defensively though.
Was on his heels in the first half, and anticipated very little, basically reacting to everything.
However, has always been better offensively and that is his strength.

Because he read very little and so was always reacting…..

Lamptey, still a god impact sub for his pace but not a starter....

As a defender he shouldn't. Unfortunately the 3 ahead of him at RB are all injured

Consistently one of my first names on the team sheet if available. Raises the levels of those around him. Massively underrated player

Exactly.
Tariq's still exciting going forward but he's still utterly lacking when it comes to the positioning & anticipation that Joel's a master of. After 4 years he still looks like a winger made to play full back in an emergency

Anyway, does anyone have any clue about Veltman's injury?..
He really wasn’t mateOK if you insist.
Lamptey was f***ing FINE, OK?
I don't know what your trouble is.
Was that better?
He did ok. Could not understand an attacking FB was replaced by a CB when we are looking for a winner.
Whooooooooooosh!
Edit: I was replying to a reply to my post. The reply was 'defensively?'
So I reiterated my point defensively.
That was it, really.

It's easy to defend against Lamptey attacks as 99.9% (made-up stat) he checks back and makes a Stephens pass (sideways or backwards). He never seems confident to take on defenders anymore (permanent loss of his blistering pace?).
Apart from the assist for the goal, which should have been a confidence boost, he just seems more intent on keeping possession and playing low-risk keep-ball.
I don't know if we will every see the Lamptey of 2021/22 again?
Not venom. Just candid assessments of a player who struggles defensively at PL level to say the least. In the opinion of some fans. Haven’t seen anything hateful or nasty.
This has happened previously, opinions that Maty Ryan and Jahanbakhsh weren’t good enough, were deemed treacherous.
Thankfully the club have acted with Ferdi as back up to Velts.

It's not reliable at all, because there are four weeks (and 3 days) in December.

Which is such a weird take after he had a really solid game.
Still this is the forum that wrote off Igor, thought Rutter was way overpriced, decided that the Ferdi signing was going to replace Estupinan, seems to want to pension off Dunk, bemoaned the sale of Gilmour and assumed Ayari had no role here.

Not true. He made an error to let the winger go in the first half and yet was back in place to block his cross out for a corner in the blink of an eye.
So “Velts” and Ferdi are injured, so we bring on our final line of defence: Lamptey, who provides a sublime assist, and you then lay into him as “struggling”.
