Ramires

Delighted he signed a new deal. I love Ramires, such a nice guy and always tries his hardest, you can always tell by watching him play. I can see him becoming a true Chelsea legend.

I really like his professionalism and attitude. Some players could learn a lot from him.

I'm really happy that he signed a new contract and I wish the lad all the best

^ Luiz says Ramires actually speaks decent English. He must not be confident in front of the cameras. You can tell his comprehension is good because he has thorough understanding of what Lee is asking him.

Any word if he's been given a raise or anything?

[Naked Mole Rat 437]

He's been really poor recently, and I think it's because Di Matteo has been switching his role way too frequently.

[termninja 5,290]

I miss his crazy runs across the whole pitch on counter attacks

This is a problem with not keeping Sturrige on the right. No-one else can play there except Sturridge. We might criticize his decisions not to pass, but Ramires can not pass at all. At least when Danny does fire in a cross it's got power and hopeful. If he's making a selfish run it's going to either get him a goal, or close to one. Ramires has the pace to play there but not the end-result.

Made one yesterday and should've gotten a pen for it.

As I said in the Spurs game thread, by playing Ramires at RW against City and Spurs, we seem more concern about containing them rather than letting them worry about us. By playing Sturridge on the left and Ramires on the right yesterday, we looked like a complete broken team going forward!

Dear di Matteo,

As you seem to be a little visually impaired, I'll spell it out for you;

Ramires is not a right winger. He cannot pass, nor can he cross. His shooting is also terrible. His assets are his tackling ability, his pace and his dynamism. Three qualities that suit the role of midfield enforcer.

Thus, before I go fucking mental, play him in centre midfield you douche.

Regards,

Alex.

LOL, he did not realise we won the game even though he set up the winning goal.

[francozola 2,040]

Lol. But understandable since he was injured and probably blocked everything out during the celebrations. Must have been weird for him to see the team react so happily to what he thought was a draw

[Jase 43,479]

LOL So, for the remaining 15 minutes of the game and after that, he didn't look at the scoreboard or no one told him anything. Poor fella.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Hahaha, I hope someone finds a link of that interview

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Just lol!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Haha bless him, that must have been really embarrassing! Glad he and Luiz played well, Benfica fans now know exactly what they're missing.

Welcome to my world Mr Ramires.

If I had a pound for every away trip I was so bolloxed that I didnt know what went on -I'd have about £50.

Probably
