Rambo 1,729 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Ever since watching him play in his first start vs West Ham I knew he'd become my fav player one day. He's not the most gifted technically but his work rate is just as fun and inspiring to watch considering his size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Great to see that people are finally starting to really rate this guy. It was criminal how underrated he was by our fans.Just wait for people to turn against him when he makes a mistake. The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Imagine what he will do when Van Ginkel is in the line up. he will have more freedom to counter which can only be good for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I love this new Ramires we are seeing, consistent and better first touch, more consistent passer, seems a bit stronger. Jose has obviously worked with him over the summer. Ramires v Villa: 104 passes, 94% pass accuracy, 1 key pass and 4 tackles won.I wouldnt call him "new Ramires". The differance is that we are no longer playing him out of position as a winger. OneMoSalah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The differance is that we are no longer playing him out of position as a winger.I'd call him a "mature Ramires" perhaps. or "down to earth Ramires" ?

Gilvorak 3,734 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 He's an excellent footballer and disgustingly underrated. Just needs a capable partner, can't expect Lamps to be as consistent as he once was at his age.Oscar looked good playing alongside him towards the last 20-30 minutes.Van Ginkel is a beast defensively but his passing is still inconsistent. nachikethas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styles 9,790 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Ramires completed 94% of his 105 passes against #AVFC with 41% going forwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleed_blue 136 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 That was Mikelesque passing game from Ramires yesterday.Always taking the safest option and hence no penetration. If it were not for his defensive contribution, I would have been furious with his performance yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 One of the few players that were actually good yesterday (along with JT and Cech). He was excellent on the ball. Off the ball I thought he could have been a bit better. He got turned a bit too easily in midfield a couple of times and he late to track the runner in a couple of occasions as well. But overall he's doing that holding role much better than I expected. But I still prefer by some distance his contribution as a box-to-box midfielder.

Manuf 1,448 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Makelele was much better in terms of pace, Ramires is more agressive, Makelele barely tried to shoot. I think they are two completely different animals.I agree on the shooting part and maybe Claude's distribution was a little bit faster, but in terms of pace I don't know which played in our midfield, current or past, matched Ramihttp://i.minus.com/inQHrOlcaS4bB.gif yuvala, Despiadado.Maleante and OneMoSalah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was criminal how underrated he was by our fans.This x100! Remember having to defend him to the hilt last season on here with you. Forgot who it was, but I remember somebody saying Chalobah was already better than him The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDRECHO 432 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 He was poor with lampard today , bad passes together . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kojo 4,676 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 He was very bad yesterday, really didn't help us keep the ball.Ramires lacks a lot of composure, he's not very the on the ball, he worries me every time he's holding it, especially when there are players around him. I wish Mikel played yesterday instead of him and that's saying something. He may be good at winning the ball back and running around but his first touch and ball control in general is poor.He had a good game against Villa but near the end he almost fucked us over with one of the doggiest back to the keeper passes I've seen in a while. Almost played it perfectly in for Benteke to equalize 2-2 with about 7 minutes to go including the 5 minutes stoppage time.You may all think he's underrated, but for me he's not a starter, as I've always said we need a player for him to rotate with because he lacks technical ability to play in the pivot, it's that bad that it's costing us.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 He can't play the holding midfielder role against a team like Manchester. And we're only figuring this out now?!You need a genuine holding midfielder if you're going to play 4-2-3-1 and challenge for the title and Ramires is not one.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 A tough one last night. Worked fantastically hard in defence and put in some fantastic tackles but couldn't find a pass at all for much of the game. I've criticised him for that before, but this was a bit of an aberration for him considering his recent form and he wasn't the only player who struggled with basic 5 yard passes.Needs to improve but still an important player for us, and it's early days for this team.
