Ramires' performance

[Guest justin_3d]

Yeah you could be right, thinking about the start of the season now. We all know how blind management became back then, ignoring the fact we'd lost our sense of creativity

It was because they where going to be give a chance to the youngsters...and that did not work, so Chelsea had to buy.

Only one remains in the team, and he hardly plays...

[Badboy 1,526]

Yeah I still stand by that comment. We could've got a much better player instead. Not knocking Ramires, just thinking tactically.

The thing is that position is crying out for Josh ( the creative midfield role ) we could of signed Hazard but that would of probably blocked Josh's development.

Yeah, very true. However, he seems to be perceived as too young, which then creates an underlying problem. Of course the board could not predict Lampard would be injured for such a long period of time and that Essien would have his share too, but the naiveness of the board to not prepare for such scenarios should be something the board should fix asap.

That being said, we do have to look forward to Benayoun's return. Several fans have stated, he will fix our problems (like had been said like Lampard & Essien). So let's see if that will solve our problems..

He's been our best midfielder this season in my opinion.

can't argue with that! He will only get better too!

[steve5221 91]

Will Yossi play again this season??

Will Yossi play again this season??

I'm sure he will! His return is long overdue I reckon. But One question springs to mind... Where will he play??

[steve5221 91]

If it was me i would drop Lampard and play him there. He can however play on either flank of the front 3. Would Carlo have the guts to drop a fit Lampard though?

There was one game I remember in the FA Cup of 2005 when we lost 1-0 to Newcastle (Kluivert goal in the 3rd minute). Mourinho brought on Lampard for the second half, and I remember us performing a lot better, despite the fact that we couldn't score.

Should Carlo drop Lampard, I reckon a 3-man midfield behind the attack like this sounds pretty good

Mikel

Ramires - Essien

Anelka - Drogba - Malouda

I cant agree with you on Anelka mate, I wish Liverpool would have took him as part of the deal for Torres.

Well, he's only here for one more season.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

:lol:

If believing that every single deal Chelsea make is a good one helps you sleep better at nights by all means don't let me stop you.

Right now you're no better than everyone writing him off in October.

I hope this is a generalisation...

The fact of the matter is I believe Ramires is a superb signing. He has adapted quicker than I anticipated - and at 23 he can at least continue to perform at this level, or even improve.

[Kostas 1,468]

I hope this is a generalisation...

Wrong choice of words. I meant all those who were.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Carlo has admitted confidence is once again low and that there are only three players in form, or at least anywhere near their best - Cech, Ivanovic and Terry. I think this is unspeakably harsh on Ramires, who has, without fail, been our stand-out player in at least the last half-dozen matches. The fact of the matter is when you have only a goalkeeper, two centre backs and a midfielder in form, you can see why we've had such a bad season in comparison to last year. Form has gone out of the window for the most part, and confidence is non-existent.

[steve5221 91]

Ramires is an Essien clone - it has to be one or the other for me.....

[BlueLion. 21,491]

If that's the case, it has to be Ramires on current form.

[steve5221 91]

If that's the case, it has to be Ramires on current form.

Agreed

[Peace. 4,352]

If that's the case, it has to be Ramires on current form.

But at Chelsea we don't play players according to their current form

His speed is really good ! and I see he can go to the balls before Everton's Player in last match. And he isn't effect by No.7 's Curse !!
