Jase 43,479 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 he was not a 100% fit when we played pool at anfield in PL. but he is so important that he should be starting these games. Mourinho took a risk then and look what happened after that. Ramires has hardly played since then. The result went for us that day but playing him aggravated his injury situation.

Blue Armour 4,448 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Ramires needs to start in big games. His energy is impeccable and although he is not very good with the ball, he is great at retaining possession, something we struggled with against Liverpool. For me, Ramires has always been a priceless player for us. He is not the flashiest, but he makes a big role in big games. Mikel can only offer interceptions, and today he failed at that with terrible positioning. In a game where we are struggling to win the midfield battle, a player of Ramires' capabilities is an absolute must.And not to forget, Ramires has the balls the take important goals in a pressure situation.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Needs to play more. Offers more defensive cover than any player I've ever seen because of his work rate, he even makes Essien look lazy. Offensively he can be a nightmare, yes, but in big games when you need to cover that backline? Ramires every time. iseah100 and Beigl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Crazy how last season so many people wanted him gone, now they're all realizing how important he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Crazy how last season so many people wanted him gone, now they're all realizing how important he is.Kind of the same with Willian, wait until he is out for a few weeks and we are forced to play Schurrle and Salah regularly. Only then people might appreciate his work rate...etc more even though the complain about his productivity is accurate too Stats and Tomo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethos1 802 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Crazy how last season so many people wanted him gone, now they're all realizing how important he is.Still want him gone, but if I'd have to pick between him and Mikel or him and Willian I'd pick Ramires atm.

Willian clearly isn't good enough to be a starter for us imo. iseah100 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 is he still injured or did something that upset Jose? never seem to be playing anymore.Mourinho is never going to break up the partnership of Fabregas and Matic unless he has to while the option is playing him on the RW, which I doubt we would enjoy very much. Playing him as one of the 3 midfielders in a 4-3-3 is another possibility but Mourinho has hardly played that these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why Jose now prefer Mikel to Ramires in some big away games though, surely Ramires can do everything Mikel does but better.

Think Ramires isn't entirely fit yet, hence why Mourinho prefers to go for the safe option of using someone fit and healthy like Mikel. Ramires should start against Bradford.

CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Agree, we would probably got out of Anfield with an open play goal if it was Mikel - Rami - Matic, unfortunately the pivot doesn't work with 2 sitters in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1988 1,348 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Same frustrating Ramires but the kind we are used to seeing, bursts, tough, pace, woeful finishing, terrible decision making.Jose "MY ramires is back." The Chels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Love his fearless march in duel and even if opponent bypasses him, he continues tracking him down.I dont know why people still complain about passing and shooting, it was never Ramires strength. But his power and pace is clearly required in our midfield in big games and he adds just that. killer1257 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He bossed the game, only Hazard was on his level today.Shit finish but at least he had the bottle to pull the trigger unlike Costa and Hazard. kellzfresh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nadavTKL 1,787 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Same frustrating Ramires but the kind we are used to seeing, bursts, tough, pace, woeful finishing, terrible decision making.I dont know... he was a wonderful finisher in around 2012 (FA cup final, Camp Nou for example).We need a good Ramires, always good to have him in those big games.
