Ramires

Or one of the other youth players, can't be worse than Mikel/Ramires.

Yes, yes they can and will. If we are to let go of Mikel and Ramires then we must buy someone like Kroos. We need more quality not less.

Ofc we need to buy someone like Kroos, I'm saying the 4th choice should be like a youth player or something. Unless we buy 2 CM's but that won't happen.

Europe's best players wouldn't get on Brazil 90s -00s team except Oliver Kahn and the italians/French (Maldini, Nesta, Fabio, Thuram, Viera)....

I disagree even if we exclude french and italians.

firstly your best goalkeeper taffarel is vastly inferior to goalkeepers like Peter schmeichel, Van Der sar and Cech.

centre backs: Stam, ronald koeman,, Mathias sammer, Fernando Hierro,Puyol,JT, just to name a few

central midfield goes: lothar matthaus, rijkaard,Roy keane, Pirlo, Davids would get into the 90s and 00s squad/team

Attacking midfield: Michael Laudrup,Dejan Savicevic, Nedved, Seedorf, Gerrard could get into that team. Laudrup definitely would but not sure about the others.

as far as strikers and fullbacks: you can have those two positions. hard to disagree.

Should have been replaced at half-time. Mourinho was probably giving him game time thinking he wouldn't get any...but he's not the right person to have on the pitch when the opposition sits back.

From his body-language in recent games, you can sense his frustration most likely borne from his poor form and that frustration isn't helping him at all.

Chalobah is nowhere near ready or good enough to be a Chelsea player.

Traore is....

I would rather start Chalobah than Ramires right now. Chalaboh isn't likely to lose the plot like Villa or Sunderland.

I will rescind my plea to oust Ramires - IF - he seeks sports therapy and gets some mental coaching on keeping his cool. He is adding to the problem, rather than reducing it... As an 'experienced' player he should be leading by example - not pulling stupid stunts lie he is doing!!!

[OneMoSalah 8,776]

Everyone makes mistakes, he lost his cool and fucked up once sure but sell him hahahahaha pathetic or play lesser players like Chalobah against smaller sides because of this, hahahahaha, even worse. If we are going to want to hound players out of the club for stuff like this then surely it won't be long before someone starts posting shit to try and hound Jose out for some of the shit he pulls in pressers and interviews and touchline incidents etc? Embarrassing really.

Anyway on to Ramires as a footballer, I personally think hes had a bit of an up and down season, but until we get a better player to play next to Matic or in a midfield 3 with him and Matic he will start every week as he is the best we have along sides Nemanja and quite right.

[Beigl 1,387]

Lol at the people who want to start Chalobah,who struggles in the Championsship,over Ramires.

Come on rambo. Please play like the rambo of old

[haranr 485]

I think we all agree he has to go in the summer.

[bethos1 802]

He can't even controll the ball anymore pff all he does is making annoying fouls and shitty passes. Let's hope there's a team thats willing to pay money for him.

[didierforever 7,349]

good game from him. amazing workrate. dint let filipe luis be effective at all. not at all suprising that luis almost got a shot on goal after rambo had to be pushed back into the mid. hope he can continue this. will have to be played in a 2 man mid cos mikel and lamps are suspended for the next match. hope he can redeem his season then.

Good game overall but only because of today's approach. Offensively @ his worst this season. I usually am patient with our players but adding to the fact that he is a villain this season makes me want to kick him out of this club.

Another not great performance gives the ball away way too easy and should have passed to Torres for a tap in and an operant away goal.

Ramires stats against athletico:

Comp. Passes: 56%

Interceptions: 1

Tackles: 3 out of 7

Clearances: 2 of 2

Crosses comp %: 0

avg performance for me not so much great consedering our cautious aproach but still expect him to see come out of his recent slump in form

Against Swansea, when he left in the HT Comp. passes stats was about 90%.

There is no villains. You are watching too much B movies.

[Special Juan 27,422]

What the fuck was he playing at when he was put in last night? His first touch was that of a school boy on the playground and there isn't anything you can say good about the ball he played.

He's fucking useless right now.

[didierforever 7,349]

sometimes i doubt if people watch the same match.

[Special Juan 27,422]

My opinion is not just based on the match, but his whole season.
