That "push" in the back is never a foul - honestly, please don't call that a foul. It just isn't. As I said to @lexicon though, I didn't notice the heel step.

Ramsey is so positive with the ball, always looking forward. Great to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Carried the ball well and got stuck in defensively. Bailey should have finished the ball from him and he missed some other passes. Still getting up to speed from his layoff but much needed in the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 He was involved in everything today apart from the goal. Adds a much needed pace to our side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Even sky still haven't picked up on the heel stamp the clowns. The pen was for the heel stamp, not the push which is why the ref went back to check after originally giving the goal. Anyway, bit indifferent for JJ today. Gave possession away cheaply at times but very involved in much of our good play. Hopefully getting back to match fitness we'll start to see him impose himself in games again.

Johnnyp Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I think Emery is getting him to calm down a bit more when he receives the ball. Under Smith and Gerrard he just took off the minute he got the ball at high speed and more often than not, ran down blind alleys. He’s passing it a more ( nice passing range too ) and seeing that everything doesn’t have to be 100 miles an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) He is the only midfielder we have who can break the lines and carry the ball 50/60 yards up the pitch. The game we really missed him in since Emery has been here was the Liverpool game, it was the perfect game for him.

gwi1890 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Think he’s improving defensively, his positioning and pressing was good yesterday, starting to become a complete player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost as if he's been trained more than 'have running power' 'use running power' ' have legs' Ramsay has some wonderful gifts and athleticism but if wants to kick on further he needs to be more visible on the ball, take a lot more responsibility, I've said it since last season. He can do it he's got all the ability in the world....and now even a coach. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
