When is jack back. With Cazorla out for the season we desperately need him back soon
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do you keep saying he's out for the season
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He suggesting what some media outlets already came out with. Cazorla out for more than 3 months.

That's more believable scores.

I can. Ramsey cant do what Cazorla can do. Poor passing, not creative and yes try to make his mark in scoring when a pass would be a better option. Giroud in contrary never hides when all goes against him.

He was involved in Campbell's goal and looked better when we put some kind of pressure in the second half.

Sorry GT, but that is wrong.

I agree Giroud never hides, but neither does Ramsey. That's one of Ramsey's best characteristics, he keeps going even if he's playing badly.

You defend Giroud because he's not what the fans expect him to be.

You can't then criticise Ramsey because he's not what you want him to be.

Ramsey was also involved in Campbell's goal, assisted the other and scored the other. And also had a 92% pass success rate.

I get the frustrations when he becomes greedy, but it's because he's trying to make things happen.

You actually rated Giroud higher than Ramsey

Come on GT.

I do Tu Meke because you obviously missed to see Ramsey gives the ball away to many times in area's we couldnt afford it. You saw Ramsey involvement in Campbell goal's but you didnt see Giroud's who played with Özil before?

I haven't seen the game, but I have seen the highlights.

Of course I saw Giroud's involvement. He took a fairly heavy touch on a pass from Ramsey and had to scramble to get it to Ozil. It was nothing special.

From what I've read, Giroud wasn't great, but Ramsey was certainly better than him.

If you're mentioning Giroud's minor involvement, why can't you give Ramsey credit for a goal and an assist (FOR Giroud)?

It looks like I have always defend Giroud when we dont work as a team like we didnt play well in the first half. This is how some of you judge Giroud and make him a scapegoat when we created absolute nothing and should have concede first when Sunderland had the better chances. Giroud needs player around him as we all know. He didnt have that in the first half.

He did better in the second half when the team as a whole did better. Yes of course Ramsey was better as well in my view but I expect him to pass and move the ball around which he didnt do well in my view. And believe me....I am not alone.

Ramseys ball to set up Giroud was fantastic, yet the Giroud lover still only gave Ramsey 5. It was floated in exactly into his path putting it on a plate for Giroud. Still needed finishing but Id say the pass was beter than the finish.

Very encouraging performance from Ramsey. If he builds on this and keeps being a threat good things are coming for us
