Ramires' performance

[EskWeston 696]

Ramires has been great in the last few games and it is good to see. He along with Frank has added some much needed drive in the midfield. If only we could get Essien up to form then we would be sorted in the midfield and could concentrate on getting the forwards into shape....

Ramires is showing at last what he is all about and i am looking forward to seeing more progress from him.

He is improving and he is gaining confidence. I really all action displays and his drive, technical ability will improve with time.

I really didn't like him and thought He was pointless and a waste of money, but he has had some blinding games lately and I applaud him. Just needs to bulk Up a bit or he will get pushed around too easily

Yep, definately needs to bulk up, he looks about 12 lol.

Been superb in the last 3-4 games or so, improving every match and may just turn out to be a real gem of a signing.

Agreed. He's been much better than Essien lately.

But still needs a lot of work on his first touch and ball control. He flourishes whenever given space but can't find his way out of tight situations since his touch lets him down.

Exactly Rome was not built in a day and neither was Drogba or Malouda. We have a young player who is only 23 years of age, let him bed into the surroundings and then he will flourish, next season he will explode !

I did too

[zolayes 14,489]

I did too

I know you did mate but Ive criticised Badboy when Ive disagreed with him in the past ..

[Madmax 9,219]

Ah ok

[LDN Blue 7,903]

He's improving his technique and touch now. His control is also a lot better. In a time where we've needed players to step up, be confident and smart with the ball, he's played a good role. Essien, it's been well noted, has not been himself lately. Perhaps it's because he's still nurturing an in injury or something, but Ramires has been solid in filling those shoes.

I don't want to pass full judgement yet though until into next season. That being said, he is adapting quicker than Malouda did, so it's encouraging.

I kind of want see him more attacking though. With Mikel sidelined, relegating Essien to that holding role, we're losing some attacking flare. I know, I know, Essien hasn't shown that either, but we can't keep expecting Lampard to find those killer balls to unleash the attackers. Ramires is showing all the signs of being a great player for us, like I said his holding of the ball has been a big improvement in his game, but if he takes that one step further to create chances for the strikers, he can pip Essien with a regular role in the starting XI

[Lampards Bitch 21]

With Essien I think he is scared to touch the ball for fear of being booked or sent off! He will be back to the same old player soon

[Jose M 140]

Ramires is gonna have a good game today! Cant wait for him to score and show Chelsea his true ability.

[zolayes 14,489]

So all it takes is 2 good (or even great) games out of 13 to turn valid criticism into slagging?

you can't EVER admit even the possibility you could ever be wrong..do you live on Mount Olympus
