Ramsey was playing okay, nothing special, but he was nowhere near as bad as Xhaka. And if not Xhaka then Mikhi should have come off. Slightly baffling decisions in my opinion.

Ramsey wasn't playing okay at all. Plus he wasn't fully fit. He was playing in an advanced role, so it was the obvious, and correct, sub at the time.
Torreira was almost certainly always going to come on for Xhaka - neither had a pre-season. Seemed planned.
If that baffles you then I worry for you.

Ramsey at this level is not good enough. Should go if he want 200+ a week.

You are crazy, Ramsey was playing like a man possessed chasing pressing high and looking to make penetrative runs all the time. A lot of the excitement in the stadium was generated from him closing down forcing mistakes

We had at least 6 players in the team that havent got any form. Against City we cant allow that.

Yes, running like a headless chicken!
There is nothing Ramsey does on the pitch that is structured. He stumbles when passing, mostly falling over when shooting and lacks the basic technique of a footballer. A 19 year old showed him up for the sheet his is today.

You guys honestly don't rate Ramsay? I've always thought he was one of your better, more consistent players?
Don't see him every week to be fair through 👍

But was still one of your best players
Ozil was dreadful as he usually is when you’re not playing a bottom 6 side

Really? Not in my view. We had some bad players like Xhaka and Mhiki but Ramsey not far off
