TRO Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) 8 hours ago, MrBlack said: He has played some lovely football this season. Deserves a start based on the lacklustre offerings we've had from our midfield 3 recently and the fact we've looked brighter and more progressive when Ramsey has been on the pitch. I can't work out if he's a replacement for Barkley or a replacement for the more offensive of our our two CDMs. Anyone able to shed a light on his preferred position or where they would play him? I am being told on here, that we haven't got 2 CDM's.....its 2 x 8's...? Edited February 25, 2021 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im so glad there seems to be a renaissance of using positional football terminology instead of **** football manager talk! The inevitable dumbing down of the English language gets a kick in the knackers! Edited February 25, 2021 by Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I'd like to see Smith be a little more daring in his team selection the rest of the season. We aren't getting relegated and not much else is realistically on the line. Start Ramsey, if not v Leeds, then Sheff Utd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some might argue that insisting with barkley is indeed daring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be quite happy if he scores the winner tomorrow. The only problem is the next 5 games will be guaranteed starts and more empty chambers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted February 27, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2021 Great news, just needs to go out work hard and enjoy himself and the rest will happen. Reckon he will cause Leeds issue with his movement. No pressure UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Good learning curve for him but he's struggling a bit with the physicality of the Leeds players - they're all huge compared to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got enough experience from football to know size is only a hinderance if you make it, i.e. by tactics. You need to adapt to the physicality and be bedded but that goes for all players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just needs to release the ball quicker to avoid getting caught. Guile can beat strength but he'll learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't just need to release the ball quicker or adapt to the pace of the game. That's not my point. He needs to adapt to the beating. Anyone coming in with talent can adapt to pace. Adapting to being roughed up when playing is something else. It will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
