Ramires' performance

[Clevemayer 764]

I think Mikel is better than Essien at defensive midfield play. It is therefore the case, Essien and Ramires should be battling out to show Carlo which deserves to play - Thus bringing out the best of each other alongside Lampard.

Think about it as well, he is only 23 years of age and he will improve his shooting ten fold !

Essien was good yesterday. You seem to forget that Ramires goal came after a superb display of the african.

I'm very happy for Ramires, he has been playing very well recently and his first goal for the club was thoroughly deserved.

The difference between the Ramires of January from the Ramires of October is his own commitment to attack. We very rarely saw him going forward until around December time and the Tottenham away game - I genuinely believe he has found the confidence and belief to actually start attacking, which was something he was reluctant to do earlier in the season when played in a more disciplined defensive role. And with the return of Mikel, we could potentially be seeing a great player here. He reminds me of a refined Tiago; someone who is a very creative player, but unlike Tiago, Ramires also has the capacity to go forwards and be a genuine goal-threat, whilst Tiago was only really willing to commit forward when it was 2-0. Scored some great goals though!

reminds me of Colin Bell from Man City years ago ...tremendous energy and stamina . If we ever go into extra time these qualities will be an extra bonus

Ramires has certainly been very very impressive of late and could be a truly inspired signing.

Never stops running, bags of energy, if he were to run a marathon, i'm sure he'd win.

High hopes for him, more of the same please Ramires

Though i still think he needs to bulk up abit tbh, cos at the moment hes gettin the shit knocked out of him in matches and needs to bulk up to not getp ushed off the ball so easily.

Admire him alot though, gets the crap kicked out of him, and still gets up and has endless energy and keeps running. Superb.

Know we know why they call him the Blue Kenyan.

I taught in Kenya for 5 years and he does have the looks of one of their distance runners but I also think he is far stronger than his appearance

suggests , Dont think he will be easily bullied

No they've nicknamed him that from his days in Brazil because of his endless stamina and the fact that his team there had blue shirts.

ramires is nothing like tiago. tiago have good technique but is lazy and dont have half of the speed of ramires. i dont have seen many chelsea games lately but in benfica he played as right miedfielder and he was like a right defende right midfilder and right winger at the same time lol. he can run all the game and is the first one to go down when the team loses the ball.

He's deployed more in the centre of midfield now, but he does like to drift and come in from the right flank so I can see that's a big boost in his game. Hopefully if Carlo changed the shape of the squad now, Ramires will get to play down the right primarily.

I just have to like his playing since he really leaves everything out there. He is really worthy of wearing a blue shirt. Also, with Alex and Luiz he'll be feeling even better now at the club.

He surprised me though with his shooting capabilities, and I'm glad he finally got the self confidence needed to knock a few shots away from box. Shame about that post against Everton.

[Badboy 1,526]

I think its been fantastic he really has come on. I have seen the Torres thread so i counter that thread with this one.

[steve5221 91]

His energy is fantastic, is all over the pitch. Reminds me of Essien a few years ago in some ways. Final ball is sometimes lacking but he deserves to be in the side ahead of Essien at the moment
