I don't think you understand why Ramsey is such a failure in the middle if you're saying that. Trying to rush forward to quickly leads to a disjointed midfield and we struggle to create quality chances. If we keep ticking like this we'll beat them.

Well you just saw the two passages of play where we were dangerous. Forwards, forwards, forwards. Very simple. Ramsey is a sideways and backwards merchant when he's in the middle. The fact he abandons the role is not the same thing. Possession is pointless if it doesn't progress the ball towards the opponents goal or unless you are shutting down a game that's already won.

Appalling cross from Chambers. Time. Space. To the keeper. Totally unacceptable.

idiot gabriel

Gabriel doing a Fernandinho. The only difference being, now it's a FK.

It takes build up play. You can't always find the forward pass or you lose it and get hit on the break. When we have no cohesion in the middle i worry but we look comfortable today.

oooooooooo

[Niall_Quinn]

Campbell too slow. No anticipation.

[adzzzbatch]

mertesacker putting in some good tackles, is he feeling alright?
