Ramires - Fabregas at pivot

'We are dooomed'

'We will lose'

'We are f***ed'

Where is the optimism of 'My Ramires is back' people?

It seems Ramires has been written off already......

It's not Ramires himself that's the worry, its that pivot and understandably, it's a defensive disaster that even Bradford ruthlessly exploited.

It's not about Ramires, he's the perfect partner for a CDM (Matic/Mikel). He's a box to box player with great pace, strength, great abilities to support the defense and attack.

It's more about Cesc in the pivot, we had Matic-Cesc pivot and got thrashed by 5-3. So can you imagine what will helpen to a Rami-Cesc pivot?

We need a solid CDM in this game plus Rami supporting him and Cesc, with Cesc having more freedom to create. That's the point.

Yes, against Spurs of course I prefer 433. We're not convinced at all using 4231 against team with speed and have a decent counter attack.

But against small clubs it is not a problem imo. Shouldn't had to freaked out already.

Ramires was great tonight. Unlucky with the post.

Idd, he had a really good game.

The real big chance was the free header he missed. He really should have scored that. Apart from that, one of his best performances of the season.

[Laugh1ngMan 393]

The fact he just gave one of the best right wing performances of the season says alot to be honest. Hope cuadrado wll be able to deliver something similar.

Today he made our counterattack look so much more dangerous simply because he ran into the space which is something we lack from alot of our forward players bar Costa.

Therefore when we plan to play on the counter we can't play Willian at RW imo, we need runners and Willan waits for the ball too much just like Hazard which often just kills the momentum (+the fact

Ramires is actually quit good at finishing off chances)

Great points made. Willian kills counters because he's always standing centrally, and when he runs with the ball he needs at least 10 seconds to make a decision.

Ramires stays in his position and stretches the defence.

[Laugh1ngMan 393]

Also why we will miss Schurrlle since he would do the same attacking wise. Havent seen enough of cuadrado just yet but from the things i did see i was not overly impressed yet.

His performance tonight came as a pleasant surprise to me tbh as he's always had terrible games on the right. It was quite refreshing.

[WNDS 502]

An excellent performance, reminiscent of the displays he used to provide us with quite regularly during the 2011/12 season.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Brilliant player again. Him at full strenght, Matic back and both GKs in top form, we should be able to do well against PSG. We missed that energy and pace in midfield, now with Rambo, we have that. And he is born to play well in bigger games too.

I would seriously consider playing

Rambo-Matic-Cesc

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Please Mourinho play a 4-3-3 so that ramires can bomb forward on the counter. No pivot, just Rambo and fab in front of Matic.

He's better than everyone in our team on the counter

[iseah100 5,612]

He'll be so important for us if we want to make a CL run.

[didierforever 7,349]

ANOTHER brilliant performance.

[Special Juan 27,429]

All over the place last night. He chased, harassed and pressed all over the park.

Keep it up please.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

We've got our Ramires back

[Fernando 6,464]

Now that he got a yellow I would take him out since Ramires is very clumsy at times.
