Ramires

[BlueLyon 9,359]

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.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Same frustrating Ramires but the kind we are used to seeing, bursts, tough, pace, woeful finishing, terrible decision making.

Jose "MY ramires is back."

Frustrating? 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.

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.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Finally!! Just needs more of these performances...

He is an unreal finisher 1v1 but give him any other kind of shooting opportunity and he's pretty crap.

Also Jose talked about how he 'scarified' for the last few weeks/months. Looks like he is still on good term with Jose and was simply accepting the bench role because Matic/Fabregas partnership.

[Rom2013 446]

He is a really good player. Really important last season, and I hope this season he can be as important in another role.

I hope Cesc will be playing as the 10 with Ramires next to Matic v City. His energy has been missed, he and Cesc can interchange to give him the opportunity to get into the box and score goals.

FAR from it. And I'm not just saying that because of the chip he scored against Barca.

He most likely will be out, injured today so Ramires will play alongside Matic and Oscar

Tbf I can see where it coming from, a break away today and then that shot horribly wide

[BlueLion. 21,491]

He was epic tonight. Changed the game.

“My Ramires is back, that’s the second best news of the day. The first to be in the final but to have our Ramires back after weeks of work and sacrifice.”

He's actually not a good finisher but he can score amazing goals.

[bababoom 4,478]

He was good but his end product (finishing in particular) was poor, not going to lie. I do love his energy though, to constantly go from box to box is amazing. I hope he regains his form because tacticaly he gives us so many options.

For a deep midfielder who hasn't played a lot of football its to be expected. We can nitpick all we want about what he can't do, the fact remains he is indispensable to the squad.

Love him, cracking game today.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Energy.... Him and Matic in the pivot should prevent people running at our Defence.

[didierforever 7,349]

this is what we have been missing for a long long time. need that energy. good that he is back!!!

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Wow we started playing football again properly as soon as this guy hit the field. Really contributed to winning so many balls in midfield, exactly what we have been lacking in other games like the Liverpool and Spurs away games. I expect to see him start at Etihad on Saturday.
