Ramsey's chance to shine

With Wenger being depleted of options at CM, Ramsey will be getting his chance in the middle of the park, pretty much by default.

The criticism and to be frank, hate, the player gets is beyond astounding in my humble opinion.

I agree his development has stalled recently, especially going by his performances in club colours, but there is no doubt that he's a valuable member in this squad. In some ways, he's the victim of his own qualities as his versatility and intelligence means Wenger has often shifted him on the right hand side.

Not to mention, fitness and luck haven't been on his side either.

I'm not his biggest fan by any means, but used to be shocked at the widespread over-criticism. He's got the potential to be a very good player for us, just needs to be consistent and cut out the silly flicks/passes in dangerous positions. In terms of his skillset and attributes, there are few players who are as well rounded as he is.

Hopefully now that he's in the middle of the park and with a top footballer in Xhaka alongside him, he'll come into some form.

I just think the fans need to go easy on the players at times. I am now (for the first time) a season ticket holder at the emirates, and the groans and moans can be so toxic sometimes. We can't have 11 Alexis Sanchez's on the pitch. It doesn't help to exaggerate a players's lack of form and weaknesses, and then label him a bad player.

Here's hoping he proves the doubters wrong.



PS Watch how he gets injured within seconds now
