CM. Most of his good moments came in the centre of the pitch even today
Sell Ramires or loan him to Real Madrid recall Essien
Ramires's role is that of the typical box-to-box midfielder, any other method of utiltising him is a butching of his natural attributes. Neither RDM or Benitez appear to trust him in the middle of the pitch in matches where tactically we look to appose ourselves on the opposition by shackling them down, kinda makes sense i guess because of his lack of strength.
All i can say is if i was the manager, he's one of the few players i'd go out of my way to accomediate in the team, i've liked him ever since we signed him approx 30 months ago. Great footballer, exceptional athlete
Defensive sweeper or box-to-box in a 4-3-3
People make too much out of his passing ability
Fully agree with the idea of putting him in CM/DM, and giving him the freedom to roam. But as pointed out, much of the time, Benitez seems to trust Lamps, Mikel (probably), and natural CB Luiz more. It is kind of a suboptimal utilization of Ramirez not to deploy him in the center, but he's not as defensively strong as Luiz or Mikel - so maybe he's gotta improve his defensive skills to be a regular there.

Heard he's doing great there!
The actual thought of rami not in our team sends shudders through me
In my mind he is soooo important to us in the centre of our midfield.
He is our engine and provides so much more of an option than anyone else in our team
He has the touch of a baby elephant
With luiz now making that role in midfield I feel Ramirez has to step up. His long passing is weak
I think his best ability is bursting forward with the ball in the opposition half with options left or right of him, he seems to be able to thread his way through their defense, just needs to improve his shooting when he gets within range or have the confidence to go all the way and score, on the downside he has a heavy first touch at times and can easily lose the ball. Overall, he is good player who has been key to our success last season and can still do better, good option to have in the team, gives the manager a lot of options and always a threat to the opposition but sadly doesn't provide as much cover to the defence as mikel or close down opposition as Oscar does.
His passing is woeful Don Mata. First touch hit and miss, sometimes brilliant on other day shocking.
Maybe Ramires can be our 15+ goals box to box midfielder when Lampard departs(If we revert back to 4-3-3/4-3-2-1), certainly got an eye for goal and can burst past any player, positioning is alright as well when he drives forward from CM.
Essien is finished, need to get rid at the end of the season as much as It pains me to say.
