TheBrownBottle Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 29 minutes ago, Mountain said: It was heat of the moment stuff, very few players have the compsure to square it there, but it WAS on. Certainly not going to blame him for that as playing a deft pass when through on goal in a packed stadium in Paris is not exactly the first thing that comes to mind when you have 0.01 seconds to think of what to do, I don't know of a player on the planet that would consistently sqaure it in this circumstance. But it was on, simple as! Yep, nowt wrong with the lad having a crack from where he did, but it was definitely an option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fak Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Wasn't on like. That pic has the ball under Ramsey's feet, as well as the fact he's running away from Woltemade. He'll need another touch to set himself (by which time he's starting to stumble as he does take his next touch) and to look up for the pass to a player who's behind him. It ain't happening buddy.

Thought as much, in real time. On reflection/replay, he would've had to become prime-Beardsley and put his foot on the ball, let the defender slide past then pass or shoot.

Smal Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 18 hours ago, Lush Vlad said: Small sample size. But when he has played deeper in a 2 or had opportunities to drop in from the midfield 3. It’s when he’s looked at his best. I wasn’t expecting that at all. yeah, for sure. It might not even be his ideal position, but it's definitely what we need from him. Bruno can play out of pressure but gets caught quite a bit, Ramsey looks like he can do similar but with far more agility. It's something we sorely need in the team. I'm not sure why he hasn't played more recently. Joelinton has been playing really well but I'm sure most of us could've foreseen him getting injured like he did.

Newcastle Fan Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Really annoyed me today, he just dosn't influence games at any level. Even with Willock you feel like he's trying to do something for the team but Ramsey is so passive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I really like him as a player but tactically it doesn’t look like he knows how to play in a 3 at all yet really. When he gets the ball it’s good but he went missing in and out of possession after the equaliser. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he gets the ball it’s good but he went missing in and out of possession after the equaliser. He seems to play in bursts. Don’t think he had a touch for 10 minutes. Then started getting on the ball and building play out from the back, turning people for fun like he does. Had another spell in the second half where he did similar. Then disappeared again. As poor as Tonali is on the ball. He is still constantly getting on it and trying to do something with getting it forward. Ramsey needs to be more aggressive in possession. Even when he gets near the box. He’ll try the odd through ball. But it always feels like it has no conviction. Like he doesn’t believe it will actually find a black and white shirt I actually really like watching him as a player. I just wish he could find a way to impose himself on games more. I hate to say it. But it feels like yet another summer signing that doesn’t quite fit into the system and he has looked at his best when we’ve changed formation. Hopefully some time here and some actual training sessions will help in that regard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
