Supermonkey92 1,428 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Absolutely missed him at united. If he played, our performance would have been more like what we were expected it would be. Against Liverpool he will be needed I think, if we want to go there play well and win. I think at the moment it's between him and willian/schurrle playing. Unfortunately, Ramires seems to be used as a defensive rm in the 4-2-3-1, as opposed to a mid 3 which is his best position IMO. That would allow cesc to get forward more.

Jase 43,479 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Since Ramires is back from injury, am hoping Mourinho plays him with Fabregas in the pivot. Curious to see how that will work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialistsInFailure 68 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Ramires is an integral part of this squad and the people who want him sold are crazy. His pace, intensity and stamina will be key in many games this season and offers something no one else in this team can. He is coming back fresh and will have something to prove. I, for one, welcome him back. 5354, NiclasCFC and iseah100 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hope he starts tonight, be good to see him back after a long lay off. Him and Mikel should be fine in this game for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His shortcomings are well known however; shortcomings which often become an issue during games. If we can find someone else to match Rami's strengths and to offer improved finesse in possession, that would represent a significant upgrade. That player may not be easy to find but we should be looking. Hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't say he has poor technique, we have seen he can be exquisite at times. Rather, his consistency is pretty poor technique wise. Plus he gives stupid fouls. But, his role I'm the team diminishes in terms if technique with the addition of cesc. In fact, all of his pros seem to match cesc's weaknesses. With matic and cesc playing centrally, those stupid fouls seem less dangerous. I think he is more important this year than last year.

Blue Armour 4,448 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 He has more assists than both of them in the league this season.No doubt, and if we had Ramires instead of Willian against Chris Smalling on the counter, we would have had a half-time lead at Old Trafford kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
