Keyblade Posted Sunday at 05:30 Share Posted Sunday at 05:30 Philogene was better suited to this game. Ramsey's touch is slightly too heavy against a team that's parking the bus. Every millisecond needs to count in that scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted Sunday at 05:31 Share Posted Sunday at 05:31 He was bad. His game doesn't lend well to tight spaces and nowhere to run into and playing facing his own goal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytenjobs Posted Sunday at 07:08 Share Posted Sunday at 07:08 Thought he still was carefully, slowly "emersing" himself back into first resm football yesterday. A little tentative and unwilling to use hid bedf attributes of running with the ball and driving at players. It will come back, he'd too good not to. Just frustrated for him his much time ged missed, and the impact in his development. 3 or four games and he'll be back to his influential best!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejoker Posted Sunday at 07:10 Share Posted Sunday at 07:10 He didn’t really stand out against Fleetwood last week. I just don’t think he’s fit yet. But the only way to get him fit is to give him game time. He’ll be explosive again soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted Sunday at 07:12 VT Supporter Share Posted Sunday at 07:12 I thought he was just starting to glide again just before he came off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted Sunday at 07:27 Share Posted Sunday at 07:27 I think he has a brilliant relationship with Digne on that left hand side. For our first goal he helped create the space for the cross. Starting to look back to his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when Ramsay has been on the pitch the same time as maatsen they’ve looked great together. The common factor is that ramsay’s positioning, quality on the ball and general game awareness make him an excellent foil for any left back allowing them to push forward more. He attracts the opposition full back and has the intelligence to make underlapping runs which provide the LB with another option 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does exactly what he's told, has great personal attributes and makes others around him look better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chips'ngravy Posted Sunday at 07:36 Share Posted Sunday at 07:36 I thought he played well yesterday. Surprised to see some of the negative comments. It's a funny old game 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and McGinn might not have had the show-reel highlights yesterday but they both did plenty of good work stretching Everton's defence and providing space and some nice passes into others. Ramsey's got a slightly easier job in so far as Digne and Maatsen have the confidence to play beyond the midfield and work some of the nice triangles. McGinn's doing a bit more donkey work as our young RBs settle into top level football. It's not all about who is the most eye-catching player on the pitch.

useless Posted Sunday at 07:43 Share Posted Sunday at 07:43 He wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, kept the ball well, didn't give it away, didn't miss his passes, linked up well with those around him, early on created two very good opportunities with clever passes, he was one of the main reasons we dominated as much as we did, as he's very mature with his play, knows when to keep it simple or when to try and make something happen, I'd be amazed if Emery himself wasn't in agreement that he played well, not amazing, but he did a good job Because he plays wide left, I think a lot of people judge him solely as if he's a wide player in the Bailey mold, and as such if he doesn't have a game where he's going on driving runs, or scoring goals, then he's deemed to have had a bad game, but he's not in the team as that type of player, he's a central midfielder, playing wide, he has a completely different role in the team to what the likes of Philogene or Bailey have when they play wide Also not sure where this idea has come from that he's poor in tight spaces, seems to be one of those ideas that has caught on and people just go with it, when it isn't actually true, last night on a number of occassions he did well whilst in tight spaces with players around him, if anything it's something he's actually pretty good at usually, he's goood at one touch passing in tight spaces too, he might not be technically amazing, but this idea that he isn' technically good at all is greatly exaggerated 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted Sunday at 08:35 Share Posted Sunday at 08:35 Not had a bad start to the season with a couple of assists (one given to Ollie unfairly) but yesterday was his chance to impress and I don't think he did. When Bailey is back I think Ramsey drops to the bench again. He needs to get back in the goals but he isn't a winger, he's a CM playing out wide just like McGinn and I'm not a fan of it. Yes they both go inside centrally but we are always very narrow against low blocks and it can be a problem. I'd have liked to have seen a proven attacking option come in this summer, we signed Philogene but he doesn't look ready yet and Rogers has emerged but still lacks end product. I was hoping this might be Ramsey's breakout season where his numbers shoot up but so far doesn't look like being the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted Tuesday at 18:58 Share Posted Tuesday at 18:58 Our Jacob is well and truly back. Everything went down our left side. Put multiple crosses on a plate for our central attackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
