Shocking player, everything I mentioned in my opening post was witnessed from the boy today, totally useless and shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11.
He has no awareness and was caught in possession far too often.
I think his confidence is rock bottom and has been for weeks. Ideally he would not be playing now but the midfield has few options. The multiple times he was caught in possession today - he just dallied and had brainfarts. When you have no confidence in your game it tends to go tits up. It's a tough time. He's a good player and we'll see better next season.
We'd be better off with Diaby or Coquelin playing if they are fit enough to start. As soon as we kicked off, Ramsey dallied on the ball came under pressure and made hasty pass which could have cost us posssession. He slows our play down because he doesnn't know how to make himself available for a pass and when he does receive the ball it takes him ages to pass it off. His positioning is so bad that he often gets caught occupying the same space as another Arsenal player.
He needs to sit and watch a tape of himself for that came. If he comes back with the same faults next season he has no chance of playing first team football next year.
My take on Ramsey is that he's a good young talent, we have all seen enough promise from him to acknowledge this. He's put in a few very good performances this season, though in general his performances have been below par.
I think we have two problems with him at the moment, the first is that Arsene has overplayed him this season, he's put too much trust in him. The second is that his confidence is and tatters and his general form awful. He absolutely should be nowhere near the first XI, in fact he wouldn't be if the likes of Arteta, Jack & Diaby were fully fit IMHO.
He actually quite like him as a player and think once he finds confidence and form could be a very good squad option, I just don't think he's good enough to start and certainly don't think he should be starting now.

:lol:
It's embarrassing innit.
How things can change in a short space of time...
Ramsey obviously deserves immense credit for getting himself to this point, but so does Wenger IMO.Quote:

Wow....those comments!
I want to see what newguy has to say?
lol newguy.
He's just won Arsenal player of the month for the fifth month in a row!!! Unprecedented.
Wenger knows. Newguy doesn't.
I think the comments in regards to Ramsey were spot on at the time, what has gone on with Ramsey this season has been nothing short of a metamorphasis and has been one of the form if not the form midfielder in Europe. 11 goals for Arsenal prior to this season, 13 goals before December this season.

To be fair, with hindsight, it's east to point fingers and laugh at those who got it wrong.
So I will.
If the assertion was that he was overrated back then, then it was certainly wrong. If anything, you can argue that he was underrated now, so in that sense the initial assertions were definitely wrong. Even if there were legitimate grounds for leaning towards that conclusion at the time.

I won't sugar soap history (even if i could but i think my past views on Ramsey are well known) i hated him, i hated how slow he was, how he couldn't pass, tackle, track back....now his passing is excellent, his first touch is exponentially better....his confidence in front of goal is marked...and closes down well (albeit in the more attacking third of the pitch which is where he belongs).Quote:

It's the sudden steely composure in the box which is the only surprising aspect of Ramsey 3.0. Everything else was already there.Quote:

The thing with Ramsey was that he always had this in his DNA. He was always trying out little flicks and tricks, ridiculous dribbles and passes, but it wouldn't come off. The timing would always be a fraction too late/too early which would fuck everything up. Now that he's completely sharp and accurate, everything is coming off as he imagines it in his head.
He was 50/50 in the early days. Had a bad habit of making blind passes that turned over possession in dangerous areas. Would almost result in the opposition scoring. He’s cut that out if his game now. He never controlled the park like Cesc. I’ve yet to see a player replicate that level of influence in the middle.Quote:

You could see he had talent but he's doing everything about 10 times better. In case you haven't heard he's feeling a lot more confident right now and you can tell he likes the responsibility of being the main man. Players (inc. Ozil) look to him to open up an opportunity and while Ramsey isn't Townsend he has become more selfish - realising he can probably do a better job near goal than anyone else we have.Quote:

Most of the negative stuff about his game came from the post-injury period. Much like Wilshere is being written off based on the last few months rather than judging him on his hugely promising first season before an 18-month injury stalled his progress.Quote:

Before his leg break he got better and was starting to shoot more. No idea what happened after the leg break. I think his confidence was shot because it wasn't a physical thing and he never looked scared in the challenge either. He's in beast mode right now. I never thought he'd make such a quick turnaround.Quote:

I generally feel chuffed for Ramsey, he's stuck at it and his talent is now showing, kudos to Wenger too. TBH, I thought he was very good when he first broke into the team when he was 18 so the potential was always there. ;)
Ramsey had another exceptional month but the player of the month should have been given to Szcesney IMO. he made some crucial saves this month. deserved recognition
Nah.Quote:

Sometimes you have to hold yours hands up. Thought he was a good young signing especially as Fergie was after him. But then we got glimpses of quality but just as much poor stuff. Last year I wanted him gone, he wasnt a player to improve Arsenal or help win us a trophy - as I said earlier, hands up,
Agreed, Chesney has made some stunning, match-winning saves. Those saves were just as important to us as the goals we've scored at the other end.Quote:
