Jacob Ramsey

[Yorkie]

Tonali started the first game of the season against Villa!

 

Bruno took a bit longer for a start but was in the team by like the fifth game after he signed and never looked back.

The two posts I quoted are just exaggerated nonsense, that's all. There's so much to critique without making shit up. So tedious to read.

I think one of the most important things to Howe is that his players are tactically dialled in. It'll take some longer to get it than others.

There’s some truth to it for sure but I think everyone’s losing their heads a bit. In some cases giving people time is absolutely the right thing for the team. Someone like Elanga and Ramsey shouldn’t need a lot of time but like Prophet says, Eddie takes a decent amount of time to trust people to implement his tactics and once he trusts them he backs them massively. The narrative has gone a little too extreme on him not introducing new players though

There isn't a single grain of truth to the suggestion that new players don't play for a year. I could even get pinickity and say even Hall got opportunities early on and established himself as first choice before the season was out.

 

I agree with everything about Howe taking time to bed certain players in.

Agree.  However, this season we do not seem to have clear tactics or a way of playing.  We seem to have deserted the high-press, quick transition approach - so new players like Ramsey and Elanga seem to be struggling, much like the rest of the team.

[Ronson333]

Shame that shot didn’t go in, but he’s got a good shot like Barnes. Once he gets his first, it will do him the world of good.

[SUPERTOON]

Surely deserves a run over Joelinton. 

[Funtime Frankie]

Probably starts vs Burnley to get confidence and game time

[Pilko]

Can't get a game for toffee. Don't understand it, Joelinton isn't exactly playing well in there.

[janpawel]

He must be showing absolutely nothing in training 

 

For how poor Elanga has been, he's still had starts / minutes 

[nufc123]

Must start to wonder why he changed a bench for another.

[Sibierski]

Didn’t get the signing at the time, still don’t. Another player that will have moments, but for the fee, it’s really not sensible business.

We've spent £150m on 3 players that have provided next to nothing for us up to this point. Really need to his guy to succeed.

[Gallowgate Toon]

One of him or Willock really should start on Saturday.

Money?

[The Prophet]

The new Lewis Hall.

[Vaj]

I think he shows promise when he does play and you can see his strengths. Strange he hasn’t been given more opportunities but Burnley at home feels like a great time to give him a PL start 

[Lotus]

Guess he needs more time. That’s how it is.

[Danh1]

Why make a deal of signing overpriced Premier League players if they’re not going to come in and make an immediate impact?

Can’t remember timeline but if Willock hadn’t been injured in the summer he’d have been peddled IMO.

There's less risk of PL players needing time to adjust to our team, but there will always be a risk associated with new players regardless of their experience. We paid extra to reduce that risk, it didn't pay off. We just need to hope he can become an important player for us even if he doesn't justify the premium we paid.

[andycap]

This is the problem with having a stacked bench with bruno Willock and Ramsey on it we all know bruno will get on then the two wingers and it seems Willock now.

May well have been the case, but if Willock is now hooking it up in training where Howe is back to liking him, then what does that mean for Ramsey? He’s 6th choice CM until Willock goes (Willock may even get a new deal). We really need this guy to come good as much as Wissa and Elanga because we can’t afford to have money tied up in players that are not moving the dial for us.

Don't think Ramsey's pulled up any trees when he's come on either tbf. At least Joelinton gives you the physical presence, Ramsey gives off more Willock vibes.
