Ramires

i know it was not on purpose, it was kinda joke and mata was more at fault than him. Still s.o. with better body control would not have slipped there...

Think it's more gotta do with the wet pitch as opposed to body control. Ramires wasn't the only one that slipped yesterday.

Yea.. after Ramires' slip, Oscar slipped like 2-3 times in the same attack

I always liked the idea of him as a right back. Let a more technical player occupy his role in midfield and let him be a beast at right back.

He's played right back and he wasn't anywhere near good enough there. There was a wide consensus that instead of a makeshift right back, we need a permanent and natural player there (we got Azpi). There was also wide agreement that his skillset was wasted over there, because he is a natural box to box midfielder and he couldn't utilize his strengths in that restricted position. Rought around the edges, but still a midfielder.

Ramires rides Good Luck and hard work to make it to Europa Cup final with Chelsea

As a teenager, he helped his uncles work as bricklayers, even though he didn’t enjoy the hard labour. “I remember working with the hot sun in my face, carrying stones, sand and bricks,” he once said. But the family needed money and Ramires was providing.

He would work for eight hours every day before his football training in the evenings. “I worked from 8am until 4pm. Training was at 430pm. I cycled home from work, got changed then took the bike out and would train and then go home.”

That's inspirational stuff!

Several players(opposition also) have fallen like that before at Stamford Bridge.I think it would be wiser to blame the pitch than the player as this has happened many times.

He could be sent off in about every second match. Too bad this is the match when he got the red.

Have we ever had a stupider player? Great enthusiasm but an absolute idiot.

Luckily, his stupidly aggresive play did not cost us the game. It would be really bad going to the Everton game needing a win and without him.

Hopefully he will have a point to prove in Amsterdam.

I have not said this a lot of times but today ramires let us down.

[Peace. 4,352]

As long as that these rashness and recklessness in is defensive interventions don't disappear from his game, and as long as he will have problems with his decision making, he should not feature in our hypothetical futur starting XI — I say. That's not the first time that he flirts with the red card, and today it could have cost us the game and maybe the Champions League qualification as well.

I think we are being very harsh on Rammy here ,you need some bite in midfield ,someone who is a little bit nasty ,look at Keane and Scholes,thought his sending off was harsh as he pulled out of the challenge and did not make contact,somebody who is as committed as Rammy will always mis time the odd tackle and with experience he will learn ,had Scholes made that tackle he would not have gone,hopefully Jose will bring that kind of influence to us next season and in the future,because ref's are very easily penalising our players at the moment with no recourse.

he was probably being reckless and charging around like a madman to make up for everyone elses lethargy

I didn't think it was harsh in the slightest and if he didn't get a second yellow for that one, he would've got one for something else. It was so obvious he was going to get sent off and how Rafa, JT, Lamps or any other player didn't just have a word in his ear is ASTOUNDING to me.

I love his attitude and I was overly harsh on him earlier in the season but he can go into headless chicken mode and then he's absolutely worthless to us.

I don't think he's all that nasty as a player either, like Keane. I think he's just a little bit thick at times. Keane could be sneaky about it at times and he had a real dark side to his game....Ramires is a lovely bloke.

The problem was that despite his recklessness yesterday he was probably the only player in the first half trying to do something with our play. Ba was anonymous, Hazard and Mata were in a daze, Lampard wondering around the pitch like a lost puppy and Moses unable to trap a bag of cement that had been stuck to the ground. Ramires was the only one trying to break up their play (if doing a bit of shit job at it)

It was only when Villa had a man sent off and they lost all sense of composure that we were able to do anything with our play. Laregly down to Hzard who managed to realize what to do with the ball once he got it.
