The only place to be 11,313 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Think we two of him, Oscar and Willian on the pitch for the pressing to work at its best. Also can't look at Arsenal, they gifted us the game even with 11v11 and Schurrle was exceptional. Everyone pressed against Arsenal, and a lot of the time that was high up the pitch. But I agree we need more of it on the pitch and that's something the players are still getting to grips with. Schurrle is getting there after 6 months here and hopefully Salah follows suit next season. It's very much a building process and I think Ramires is currently a necessary evil, but I really hope that doesn't continue into next season. I'd like to think we have ambitions for more in midfield quite honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His work rate has been excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His work rate has been excellent. I agree, but I'm not really going to judge him until next season. He's young, it's a new league, a new country, a new system....just like I urged caution when he wasn't pulling up trees in his first few appearances I'm going to hold off on building him up too soon.But that speed CHOULO19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chels 2,502 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yes I am a broken record but his technical ability and decision making must rank as one of the worst for all the midfielders left in the CL, if not the worst. Was I the only one surprised not to see Mourinho substitute him?! Not sure whether that's because he thinks Ramires is really good or because the alternatives are worse; I guess we'll see next season but Ramires committed about 3 fouls after his yellow card, and with the best part of 40 mins to go, he was one more foul away from a red card which seemed pretty damn likely given how wreckless he is.

Matudi is the better version of Ramires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Why would you substitute Ramires when he is going to be suspended the next match. Matudi is the better version of Ramires. matuidi is not as fast as Ramires. Maybe slightly better at anything else including football brain, but Matuidi is not the level one should aim for either. The thing is who will we play at the bridge with Ramires out? We only got Lamps, Luiz and Mikel. Any combination bears huge risks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, however, Matudi is faster than most cms, its just Ramires is in the top 1 percentile.I would think we play mikel and luiz and lamps. However, I don't know how we plan to score goals with that lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Special Juan 28,141 Posted April 3, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted April 3, 2014 I was on edge as soon as he got booked, he is so fucking clumsy it's unreal.I don't know where we go with this bloke, I really don't. He can't pass, he struggles to read the game and apart from his pace I can't identify what he has to offer.

He can't pass, he struggles to read the game and apart from his pace I can't identify what he has to offer.He needs to become an often used squad player next season. We need a new, world class CM and use Ramires in specific situations and against certain types of sides.Your description of him is spot on. He's way more of an athlete than a proper footballer. We need a footballer.It's weird because remember early in the season he was one of, if not our best player and was undroppable. He's completely fallen off the planet.

Y123CFC 69 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 TBH I would seriously think about selling him this summer but I know Jose wont sell him.I agree, apart from the 2011/12 season, all he seems to do is run and foul. If we want to consistently compete at the highest level, we should look at a replacement, definitely much better players out there.

Milan 17,957 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Once again he puts himself out for the very, very important game because of a very stupid tackle. No thank you. Barbara and The only place to be 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodIsBlue 291 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I've tried really hard to believe what he has to offer is good, but he keeps proving to everyone that he is a problem. He's just not enough of a footballer, you have guys like Jordan Henderson that have been branded as just a runner in the past but if you compare him to our Ramires, Hendo is practically Messi compared to the technical skill of Ramires. He dribbles right into people instead of away from them (because he does not have fine control of the ball) and the guy can't pass for anything. I used to love Ramires' runs across the midfield but he can't seem to do that anymore without losing the ball.

Shaan 263 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Lol now Ramires is the new Mikel , considering people saying 3-4 months ago ' he would become chelsea's greatest midfilde player or oh! he is so criminallly underrated or oh! he is a machine a boss!! or oh !I'll take ramires over any box to box midfielder in europe ..real madrid can fuck off if they want to buy him or our most important player tooo we should sell him for FREE!!! :confused: Spyker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eligius 121 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 it's sad how fans have turn on him...Similar to how Madrid fans turned on Khedira.Mourinho team's need players like Ramires and Willian. Next week, when we have lampard/mikel as cms, let us see how well they do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
