Pathetic attack on Ramsey. I'm not his biggest fan, he's very frustrating to watch. But how the feck can you say he should pass to Joel Campbell at the end!? He done all the hard work and JC wasn't even in the picture till very late. The fact he didn't finish it is why he should be criticised not because he didn't pass.
The thing with Ramsey is that he gets caught in possession in silly areas and needs to cut it out. That's what will stop him from going to the top. He's never going to be the type of player to control possession. Never was and never will so that's another thing people have to get over.
" As soon as the goals start going in again from him, this whole article will become redundant."
Except that it won't as he's general play will still be shocking.
It's not just about goals you know.
"He's never going to be the type of player to control possession. Never was and never will so that's another thing people have to get over. "
Thank you for clarifying this complex algorithm.
I'm sure everyone's aware of the fact that Ramsey isn't a Fabregas.
But keeping it simple and not going gong ho at every possible opportunity is something that is expected of a CM at this level.
Someone made a great point about Ramsey reminding them of Song. So very true. Song like Ramsey also thought he was Ronaldinho with his fluky punt through balls to RVP.
"It's not just about goals you know."
Yes it is. How is Frank Lampard remembered despite being an extremely limited footballer?

Difference being Lampard made LATE runs into the area and could actually shoot.
Ramsey makes early runs in anticipation of tap-in opportunities that might never materialise, leaving us at the mercy of the opponent's counter.
Lampard mastered tactical overloading. Ramsey's just a glory chaser.
Still livid he didn't just square that ball to either Joel or Hector. Guarantee they pass on the opportunity when the shoe's on the other foot.

Lampard and limited? Get out of here.
Ramsey needs a solid partner alongside him, one that can either usher the midfield or a passer. He is like Gerrard, who also needed Alonso to have his best years.

Nothing wrong with this statement.
Doesn't anybody remember Ramsey at his peak? Week after week he was the most exciting, prolific player in the league. There were plenty of people suggesting he was on course for POTY.
So how can that be 'luck', or a mistaken perception?
I'd love to see Ramsey back to that form, and banging in goals.

it was 2 years ago, stephen ireland was the best player in the league too once
How as Lampard exactly limited? He could do it all.
Yeah couldn't really describe lampard as limited. Could score, assist, good passing range. Suppose he just couldn't dribble past loads of players with close control and turns of pace. But then you can't do everything as a player! Like saying messi is limited because he can't defend well.
To be fair Messi defends well too! Nicks the ball of defenders quite a bit
Ramsey is more suited to being a CAM than a CM at the moment, however he is rightfully miles down the pecking order in CAM.
Still it's harsh to purely judge him at CM against Cazorla (alongside the Coq) while Ramsey is alongside Flamini who for all his effort is nowhere near the Coq's level.
Ramsey as a CAM. Hahahaha Good one.
The guy who refuses to pass is to be played as a playmaker.
Ridiculous suggestion.
If I was suggesting he'd be a CAM who's role is to play intricate through balls that would be almost as reeetarded as suggesting/thinking he could be a player who can dicate the tempo of a game from CM.
Think a CAM that shoots from distance and plays one twos with strikers rather than threading balls through (if you can understand that not every CAM is Ozil)...
Yes. Not every CAM is Ozil. There is no CAM that just shoots from distance or just plays one twos with strikers.
Wilshere who was more to his game than Ramsey was unable to play in that position. How is freaking Ramsey gonna?
One is either a direct CAM with speed and directness to his game. Essentially a second striker. Or one is a creative playmaker. Ramsey is neither.
