Veltman is a better defender but not as good attacking as lamps .
B-right-on

Veltman. Lamptey always looks like he’s just stepped up a level and isn’t sure what to do.
I’d be interested to see the goals and assists comparison.
Veltman is so reliable

With March and Mitoma dominating the wings, there’s less need for two attacking-minded wingbacks, in my opinion.
Pervis is the absolute perfect balance, and is incredible playing both the defensive and attacking roles.
I like Tariq a lot and would love to see him be great, but he’s not near the same level.
Veltman is a solid and reliable RB.

I get this but in terms of balance and solidity I know where I stand.
Simple really. Totally depends on the oppo/game situation- it’s not a question of one better than the other, both are good.
I do love Joel though

Yeh I’m probably with you. But sometimes against lower opposition Lamptey is a great option!

Two very different players, but I feel more confident when Veltman is playing.

If it was a question of who to keep in the squad I’d definitely lean towards Veltman.
That said, I feel like people have been unnecessarily hard on Lamptey lately when he’s been filling in for Pervis on the left and not being able to deliver the same quality of crosses with his weaker foot. Not an ideal situation, but the blame surely must fall in the lack of a second natural left back, rather than young Lamptey who tried to make the best of it.

simple really. though this leads to a conclusion Lampty is best as wingback with a back 3.

Why can’t we just love both of them ?
I do.
Velters for his calm demeanour and streak of class and Lamptey for his playground football loving gung-ho madness… coats for goalposts and never ending arguments about where the imaginary crossbar actually is.

Veltman is ultimately experienced, has seen it all, and defended and succeeded against the very best in the world. Tariq by comparison is a super young novice but one with some very exciting attributes and plenty of promise. They both have a role to play but comparing them is pretty unfair at their completely different stages of career.

Exactly. One is a full international mega-experienced less-than-a-million pounds phenomenon and the other is a young bloke, full international who is still learning his trade. Also worth remembering that Lamps is now playing for a coach where the ball produces the pace (listen to Lallana) and any supposed diminishing of his hamstring strength shouldn’t be a huge problem.
Whatever Bob DZ thinks, I'm IN!
