His awareness of what's going on around him is quite something. I thought he played well too. Two assists so far this season. Apparently he's only ever had half a good season at Villa and the hype is from that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 9 minutes ago, Tom13 said: No, of course you're not imagining it. Just because I said his touch needs to improve doesn't mean he can't take good ones. Surely we're not oversimplifying things that much? But him and McGinn's touch is glaringly poorer than Tielemans and Rogers. Tielemans obviously has the best touch of the 4 players mentioned, but he is specifically in the side as a technician, and he lacks the athletic attributes of the other 3. I don’t think Rogers is noticeably ahead of Ramsey. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unai absolutely raves about the kid. No doubt once he gets into the full swing of things he'll be staying regularly Yes, Emery rarely misses a chance to praise Ramsey, I don't have any doubt about whether he rates him.

Shay Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 don’t know what some of you are smoking honestly. Even with everyone fit and firing, JJ will always make my starting XI. He has always started for Emery whenever 100% fit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexvilla4 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Watkins got the assist for Onana's goal for some reason. Should be given to Ramsey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 I was surprised to see Jacob subbed because he played well. It can only be that Unai wanted to go more defensive and felt that McGinn and Rogers were better on the pitch at closing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Ramsey is getting back to his old self, thought he looked good vs Leicester. Bodes well, he going to be a very good player. Like with Rogers, just waiting for them to start clocking up goals, it will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he looked tired tbh but we did need more defensive midfield options to calm things. I thought JJ did well and his one touch play is helping us build towards goals.

DCJonah Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 I only watched the highlights but he seemed to be involved in a lot of good stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 (edited) If he stays fit I'd put good money on him being in our top 10 outfield players for minutes played by the end of the season. As a ball carrier he is for me the best we have and his link up play with Rogers is already looking really promising as they are clearly on the same length. Having missed pretty much a whole season it was always going to take a little time for him to get fully back up to speed but he has already shown he is getting back to his best. I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised to see him in the England squad at some stage this season. Edited September 1 by markavfc40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 There's been many players, throughout the years, who have been lauded for their ability to run with the ball at their feet. However, a rare few have had the ability to somehow "Glide" with the ball at their feet, Grealish being an obvious one. Yet, I don't think I've seen a player glide so quickly, with the ball, as Jacob Ramsay. It really is a sight to behold watching this kid in full effect. That touch and movement, all in the blink of an eye, which led to the first goal was something very special indeed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 17 hours ago, Stevo985 said: Managing workload or not it’s still very rare for a sub to be subbed. Im sure it’s tactical, but it’s still not really a good sign for him. Unai has done it a few times when he has made a first half sub. Rogers and Bailey were subbed off last season after coming on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 6 hours ago, Tom13 said: I think Rogers is very noticeably ahead of Ramsey technique wise. At times it is. At times, like yesterday where Rogers had a bad game, Ramsey is ahead. Two superb young players. Ramsey being basically out for a year between age 22-23 is a real killer on his development. I think by the end of the season he'll have forced his way in and will be in the first XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
