Tomaszk Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 5 hours ago, WooJung said: I don't dispute that, but I wasn't talking about their skill set, but specifically about the performance. Ramsey had 38 touches on 95 minutes, no tackles, no interceptions. If you keep everything about the performance the same and just replace the name and the face, Conor would be getting accused of having no impact, of not getting stuck in, ecc. Ramsey covered almost 11km, the most ground of any Villa player and second highest on the pitch overall. I don't think Hourihane is physically capable of putting in that performance. I think I agree with your point though, it was a lot of unseen pressing work rather than anything flashy. West Brom is a game for Conor, not Wolves away. Great for us if Ramsey can become a realistic option for games in midfield. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would hate to see your reaction if he has a bad game. Also one PL substitute appearance and those in the cup. Are you saying that there isn't a possibility he doesn't become our most important player eventually? My reaction will be along the lines of 'still learning but I can see his ability and he has plenty of time' . Maybe you should see my posts on some of the other players who aren't doing so well and how I defend them before making judgement on what might or might not happen in regards to players who don't perform and subsequently my comments regarding them.

bose Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Lively cameo, nearly scored and won a crucial corner. Also shows how much Smith trusts him as well by being our first sub on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Can we stop the " be great if he gets game time with a championship club in January " silly bollocks talk now please. First team squad member who's getting minutes almost every game for the last month or so. He's going nowhere. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Would of been a very sweet goal from him the way he curled it round keeper but just went wide. I think Ramsey is going to play a huge part in Villa for years to come, very good indeed. Let's face it chelsea did alot of hanging on to the ball and they tried to keep it best they could and sometimes very efficiently side to side passing. So whatever our frontline players could get apart from counters was good to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is very much part of the first team squad. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Showed a maturity in his performance tonight. His defensive positioning off the ball was good, and he had some nice touches. So close with that curling shot, that would have been some entrance to the game so soon after coming on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Love how Deano is slowly drip feeding minutes and confidence into him. A start against Wolves, 15 minutes here and there in important games will give the kid plenty to take away with him from the experiences. Doesnt look out of place one bit. He has an eye for goal, good technical ability and loads of energy. Playing in a winning team always help. Being managed very well. You love to see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onmeedson Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Did well when he came on and looks like a player that is improving, help's having the Mcginns and watkins around to set the bar on what it takes. Lets hope he gets more game time and proves he is a player to add to the fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Having one of the world's best players (Grealish) come through is a compelling counter argument of course, but by and large we haven't been great over the years with youth players establishing themselves in the first team. Hopefully this kid will be the next one off the block, he certainly hasn't looked out of place when he's come in. And like noted above, he's not just getting a few minutes here and there when we're 3-0 up, he has come into high pressure situations. I think that shows the faith the gaffer has in him, and must do wonders for the lads confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Needs a bit of grealish-time on the weights, but generally speaking he looks really good and happy to see him develop and get game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Good feet, a good engine, good range of passing, tracks back, tackles, shoots. I like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
