The problem with having a midfield of Ramsey, McGinn and Luiz is unless they're all completely on it it's really weak Totally anonymous apart from the crucial flick he made when getting clattered which allowed us to score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Lacks a little self - belief at times. Once he gets over that and can add goals to his game then we'll have some player on our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 For as good as he's been in recent weeks, he was terrible today. We can't afford to have midfielders perform like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do, but the entire midfield 3 looked shite. Your point stands we should have changed it a lot quicker, but it wasn't a case of just taking off one underperforming player. It wasn't just Ramsey, and any criticism he gets should keep in mind he's a kid making his twenty something PL appearance. Very few youngsters just slot in and make a spot their own in the way he has over a few games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. He was absolutely shit today. But fair play for making a 10 yard pass in the build up to the goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 2 hours ago, AV82 said: The only player in our 11 today who could take the ball and carry it further than 3 yards. This is true, an average game from Ramsey today yet he still carries the ball well and is direct with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz was comfortably the best of the 3 midfielders although still wasn’t great. Didn’t think Mings did much wrong today. Hause was the weak link in our defence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Simon Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 He won't play against Wolves, Buendia will be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted October 3, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 3, 2021 On the whole he's developing well, but for me he's too similar to Douglas Luiz to have them both in the same XI unless Dougie is playing as the holding midfielder - which I'm not in favour of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 He struggled today but I don’t think he was as bad as some are making out. It does feel that the odd poster that have previously said he is shit went quiet about him after the last 2-3 games but are quick to pipe up again today. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 He had a poor game, but even so, he didn't hide and was still trying to make things happen and played his part in the goal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VillaJay Posted October 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2021 Reactionary bullshit in this thread today, the lad has played 20 odd games and was far from the worst player on the pitch today, he was positive when he got the ball, always had his head up looking for a forward pass, but it didn't work out today. Luiz again only 23 was poor and McGinn the senior of the 3 was poor too. This guy is a player, and the same posters who write him off, I've no doubt they wrote grealish off early days(His first 3 seasons!). 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 It's very impressive that he holds down a staring place at that age, hopefully much to come in the future, but he is not good enough for where we want to be at the moment. He is neat and tidy in his passing, but he is not good enough defensively, doesn't show enough urgency, and attacking wise he doesn't do much at all, he picks out Cash to the right with some good passes now and then, but we need a proper midfielder. Either someone who does the defensive part, or Buendia who creates things. With Ramsey we get neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I've not been a fan until recently. Not great today - but still looks an option for us. Wouldn't be surprised if he starts V wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does at least have age on his side and the potential is certainly there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
