DoubleO 192 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Such a bad performance from him yesterday. He could've been sent off like he has been several times before in important matches. I mean, when does he learn? When you get a yellow card, the last thing you should be doing is kicking the opposition players and moaning to the referee.Sometimes he just does this.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Thought he was appalling last night, yet Lamps is getting a massive amount of abuse across the forum.It's one thing to have a loose touch all night and almost get sent off but kicking a player off the ball when we're putting together a decent attack is absolutely boneheaded. Looked tired for the first time ever and needs to get back to his best against Southampton. Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Equally as bad as Lampard last night. Both need to buy some new studs, the amount of time they slipped was embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara 15,149 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Not only that but his ball control was horrific.I was nearly embarrassed for him and that nonsense foul that stopped our attack had me I get it that if he's tired his legs stop working... but at some point it seemed to affect his decision making too.I'd love to rest him against Southampton, then I look at our bench and the options are dreadful. Between benching him and Lampard, I'd go with Lampard, because of the age, but I don't see how we could bench both... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Well, looking at the stats, he's started 17 times, and come on as a substitute on two occasions - that's 19 appearances from a possible 20; and he's only missed 169 minutes of competitive action for us this season. But, again stating my earlier point, what other option do we have but to play him? We have four fit CMs for three positions in the 4-3-3, but with Essien out of the UCL squad, we only have the three! And it's not like we can move Luiz there, due to injury. Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 My word, 90 minutes of ridiculousness. Bad tackling, horrible touches, fouling for no reason.Another player that needs a rest, but not likely to get one from Mourinho. He is our best CM, but i'm sure we could have played one or two games with Essien or Luiz in midfield, instead of trying to burn him to the ground.I really do wonder what's the point of all the depth we have when we only use it in the CC. 10/11 players start every game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korea 734 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 He's getting overused....This is why you need to rest him... He does the most legwork every game at the highest intensity and you start him every game....He may have incredible stamina, but Rambo is human as well..

Jase 43,479 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Shocker today.Being overplayed IMO.An understatement. We have played 23 games in all competitions this season and Ramires has played in 22 of them with only 2 of those coming as sub appearances in the League Cup. Even that one game he missed was because of suspension in the Champions League. Otherwise, he would have played in all of them.
