Re: Ethan Ampadu
Aside from having another excellent performance, which are quickly becoming the norm, loved the grit--taking absolute no s**t from Millwall today. Loved the "bump" he gave the Millwall player that hip-checked Mes.

Re: Ethan Ampadu
Just hope he stays fit, his presence imo is vital to our continued success and we would be far less effective without him.

Re: Ethan Ampadu
Have we signed him on a 4 yr contract or is someone else I'm thinking of ?

Another masterclass from our no.4, his all round game is better than Phillips & Adams, definitely the case defensively. Just hope he hasn't picked-up an injury after the nasty tackle Ethan endured late in the game

Re: Ethan Ampadu - Over 100 decent actions vs Millwall, Hull & Watford.
An absolute steal at £7 million from Chelsea.
Re: Ethan Ampadu - Over 100 decent actions vs Millwall, Hull & Watford.
He also is doing a great job marshaling the troops from the midfield. Seems a natural leader to me.

Re: Ethan Ampadu - Over 100 decent actions vs Millwall, Hull & Watford.
Other than DF (who it's nice to know has still got it if we need him to play striker--Pete Rose, also known as Charlie Hustle, was a major league baseball manager/player who did both for a few years) Ampadu is clearly our best pound for pound deal of the summer. And, dare I say, future captain. In terms of tangibles and intangibles, he continues to impress week in and week out.

The similarities of our last three defensive midfielders.

QPR (h)
Good
34 successful forward passes
13 most decent passes

06 defensive headers
05 most interceptions
05 most tackles
04 most excellent passes
03 runs
01 defensive clearance
01 block
Bad
2 poor passes
1 lost possession
Summary
Normal service resumes for Ampadu du --- 51 decent actions in 90 minutes of football, Ethan is probably the most involved player in the team, this is more than what any fan would expect from a midfielder. Once again he is the glue that holds us together. IMMENSE!
His performance deserves much more than 7/10

Re: Ethan Ampadu - 51 decent actions in 90 mins - Extraordinary!
Couldn't agree more, '64. Aside from all of the other medals he earned, in particular I thought his passing was really on point last match--some really nicely placed and weighted balls. A thing a beauty. It's tough, as I'm quickly falling in love with all things Rutter, but if I'm getting a kit it's Ampadu's name across the back.

Ampadu was a bargain purchase @ £7m, he is so consistent, Amps must be a manager's dream.AcrossThePondAsh wrote: ↑Fri Oct 06, 2023 9:26 pm Couldn't agree more, '64.

Strangely enough I've always fallen in love with centre-midfielders, it all started in the 60s with my immense affection for Bremner & Giles. Turn the clock forward 55 years later, I'm drooling over Kalvin Phillips until he left for pastures new, then Tyler Adams came along, our best player last season up to his injury & then he departed, leaving a bitter taste in my mouth.
Now we have Ampadu du du, my love for DM's is rekindled & I'll go as far as saying Amps is a better all round midfielder than Phillips & Adams.
Ampadu is a good choice to go on any Leeds fans' shirt.
Oh, I think we are all falling for Georginio, a slow burner, but we love him now, a joy to behold
