Ramires

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Absolute beasting for Brazil right now.

The midfield of Gustavo-Paulinho-Ramires is brilliant. Their high workrate not only allows Bernard to cut inside for easy passes with Maicon bombing up the flank, but gives the rest of the attackers ample time to pick out the right person even against a team which has looked to shut up the game.

I know its just Australia, but these 3 could do some things next summer.

Ramires should be less agressive.

perhaps he should have some coaching from Torres

They seem in direct competition with each other as judged by the sub just now.

I think Paulinho serves his purpose well in the team and was one of the better players at the confed cup. From what I've seen from Fernandinho so far he has alot more work to do before and get a call up in the team and then he can worry about displacing Paulinho

Surprisingly created our best chances yesterday. Had a pretty decent game, and on another day he could've easily grabbed an assist or two.

[Sheva. 5,373]

His first touch is disturbing. Very good player in almost every aspect, but there aren't many top midfielders with this kind of inconsistent first touch.

Back in the deeper role now ,he would have dealt with Barkley yesterday much better than we did and driven him away from our goal with his ability to intercept and counter .

He was looking very good in that role considering it was early days and when he wins the ball he is positive and our counter attacks are much quicker,this was obviously lacking yesterday and we were back to slow,slow and another negative outcome as result of that.

Not sure what game you were watching but Barkley wasn't threatening at all. Like it or not Mikel pretty much had him under control for almost the whole game.

[Phil Driver 503]

I was watching the one where we lost 1-0 . What did you see?

Is that lucozade what gives ramires all that energy??

Will have to get some

[Phil Driver 503]

If any proof were needed that he is vital to us ,last night was it ,no energy and no bite in that team ,one too many tippy tappers a bit like Arsenal for me .
