Ramires

[didierforever 7,349]

Realy dissapointed with him recently, last year he was beast.

Also, Im starting to doubt in Mou work with players. Oscar and Willian show very little end product and consistancy. Luiz was much better last year. Dont need to talk bout Mata. Torres or Ba? To me, they were better last year (for their level at least). Ashley Cole lost form. So did Ramires. And Cech. Hazard has become player that Mou expects too much IMO. Azpi, Terry, Cahill generaly impressed. Iva is another who hasnt realy stepped up.

And yet we are top of the table. Even if it is for less than 24 hours. We don't play in a way where players like oscar have a free role. It is a system where we play as a TEAM. Where we play in a particular system. That is precisely the most important aspect of mou's work. Hence, I think mou has done a very good job.

Sure after many millions spent on William, Andre, Matic, salah, not saying he's not doing his thing but his squads aren't cheap either.

The problem is...our team isn't complete!

What I would love to see with Mourinho:

A solid goalkeeper (Courtois/Cech)

A solid back-four (Azpi - Terry - Cahill - new LB)

Two defensive mids ( Matic - new player)

Center-midfielder... (Oscar)

Two attacking mids ( Willian/Schurrle - Hazard)

A quality striker (Costa/Balotelli/Bony?)

Big, big miss for PSG. I can't believe he picked up that YC in Paris

Well its no surprise really.. what was suprising is that he didnt get a red card in that game.

interesting stat, for me the best option next to Matic is Luiz without a doubt

Remember the time when this guy was actually good and undroppable? Now he is more of a liability than help

I think we should try to trade him for Michael Bradley at Toronto.

That'd be a downgrade....

I am beginning to have depleted confidence about ramires...ffs! he aint getting any younger...d game against psg iz a typical and epic way of playing against teams that are technically packed in deir midfield...motta-matuidi-veratti...yeah ramires is technically deficient he should be applying his brain in situations like that...if mvg is fully and getting minutes in d season so far... i would prefer pivot combo of luiz-mvg as matic is ineligible...ramires is becoming more of a liability...

Can you please stop invading every thread gushing about your stupid crush over Michael Bradley.

Why don't bring on Heskey and Altidore aswell?

He owes Cfc a supercharged effort for end da season,hopefully rested to the max

Just realised that if he picks up a yellow card against Swansea tomorrow, which is pretty damn likely given his wrecklessness, then he will have accumulated 10 yellow cards and hence have ANOTHER (LOL) suspension - two matches this time. As another poster recently showed, our statistics without Ramires are unsurprisngly far more impressive so here's hoping he gets booked!

To be fair Ramires has played alot of times out of position ,Hope Gerrard gets booked as he is boat as Rami

Even if he isn't booked Luiz and Matic would most likely start together anyway

Ramires is only on 8 yellow cards, not 9.

This is not aimed at you but I know Ramires hasn't always been great. However, wishing him to get suspended and/or miss games for us is absolutely pathetic, especially at this point of the season where we need everyone fit and available to be able to juggle between two huge competitions. Never know he could still provide some vital contributions in games when we least expect it.
