Most of the time he had to deal with 3 attackers, with little help from his team mates espically our midfield and attack right sided players

Liverpool had this great move - seemingly well-rehearsed - which ended up with three of them bearing down on our goal. Tariq didn’t have a chance! Luckily in the first half Steele made a couple of decent saves.

That’s usually more about who the particular sponsors of the game want to meet rather than anything performance-based isn’t it ?
Agree, although sometimes it has a ring of truth about it.

However Lamptey certainly had an impact on the game - attacking and defending.
 


Will always be one of my most well-liked players but I see Fab really tightening up the defensive shape the longer he is here - and that will leave him a fair way from starting 11 maybe even the bench. A difficult decision ahead for everybody over whether he accepts very limited minutes as a squad player like Webster etc or goes somewhere where he'll play reasonably regularly. Not a spring chicken any more so may want regular football

The best I saw him was when he played as an underlapping LB under RDZ (out of necessity). Besides being a fantastic crosser with either foot, he has a knack for finding the right pass on the edge of the opposition box. So, he should definitely just play further upfield.

A good thing about him is that he looks to play the ball quickly which puts the defence under pressure.

Unfortunately these days, rather than under GP, we seem to look to play one on one at the back without cover. This will not work for him, or us, with his diminutive stature.

Yes as a wing back with a solid back three would suit him more.

Nailed on. Comes across as really likable but there's no room for sentiment if we want to progress and win things. I'd love him to turn his turn his defensive skills around but it's just not going to happen and of course the injuries have really been an issue in his progression.
