Kiwivillan Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 He looked better than last few games. He had a big dip last season then came good so I'm optimistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reivax_Villa Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 He needs to diversify his game.. I would like to see him improve his passing in attacking positions.. Can he switch play? Use outside of his foot to put the ball into the box? He is a top 8 player but he needs to improve his passing and movement off the ball.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's getting there. His ball carrying ability is superb, but I think you'll find his touch will be inconsistent even when he's got every bit of sharpness back.

Farlz Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 It was another Villa performance against a low block where we look rubbish and void of ideas, if anything Ramsey was probably our best attacker I thought. Obviously he hasn't reached the levels of last season yet but he's getting there. Just slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he hasn't reached the levels of last season yet but he's getting there. Just slowly. Ramsey is absolutely not the player you really want against a low block (hate that expression) side. He’s not technically brilliant and doesn’t have that guile and weight of pass to really unlock a defence. This isn’t me saying he isn’t a very good player, I think he is, he just suits fast paced, open games where he has a bit of space to run and arrive late into the box. What we need is a Grealish, Maddison, Odegaard type to either play off the left or behind the striker. I think Tielemans could be that player, but not quite at the top level. Not sure. Either way, Ramsey gets into our best XI, comfortably for me at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for the "Mings / Buendia are finished at this level" posts four games into their comebacks. It's going to be great. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 A learning curve probably. He struggled in a few bit of low block matches last year but usually had strong second halves when teams were chasing. How many times has JJ seen a low block in his career before this year? A different mindset and different patterns when playing against two rows of 5.

thabucks Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Said in the FFP thread just now the sad side of it is that would be better to cash in on Ramsey than say Bailey to aid the bottom line being homegrown and full profit… we need him back to his best to aid our top 5 aspirations but just as importantly boost his value.

Thing is who do we have coming through to sell which will make an impact. I also wholeheartedly agree with you BTW !

Steero113 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) Unai said he has a "small pain" and is poorly on Sky just now. Edited January 14 by Steero113 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 12 days to to the next game, plenty of time for him ( and Pau ) to recover more fully. And even then, that's a cup game so, if they're going to take time with the niggles, let it be now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano & Dalian's Umbrella Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I can understand why people are saying Ramsay was ill because Unai said he was "unwell" but, when you look at what he said and before that, which was something like. "He had a small pain yesterday and we didn't want to risk him. Today he felt unwell. We will test him after the game. Let's hope it isn't too serious", then my translation is: "He had a pain in his metatarsal again yesterday. We thought oh my god, not again. We are taking him for a scan to see if it is another stress fracture. We will then show the scan to Dean Smith to see how many "one more week"s he will be out for". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
