We judge how midfielders play by goals now?
He won a couple players of the month awards the end of that season. It wasn't the basics, it was his confidence returning.
I don't know when he has had a partner that could provide positional stability and build in the first phase. He has it now and I think a return to form will happen. 18 months is not a purple patch, especially when we saw him break into the side with Fabregas and co. He was also good on his return back to the side this year.Has he breasted on anyone since? Was this just a purple patch? I don't think someone doing the basics further back field will help his game. He doesn't need freedom. He needs to be pulled in and told to keep it simple and the rest will flow. It's not as if he's lethal and consistent in the box either. His touch and finishing can sometimes let him down. He used to get it badly wrong at the other end of the pitch and we've seen some of that this season. I really don't know if giving him the freedom to roam further forward is the answer.
I think he needs a coach to get in his ear so let's hope he has a good Euros. I think his run off goo form started at International level and was totally different to how he was playing at club level before his purple patch. Again, I'm just saying I think it's more down to coaching and Ramsey sorting his head out over him needing a specific player next to him. As said, I'd you were laying attention to his best season with us you'd see he was playing well with Flamini and even Wilshere in the middle with no Arteta in sight? What does that tell you?
I think we will see a return.
I thought you argument was Arteta being the man that provides stability in the first phase?
I'm not judging Ramsey on his goals, I'm just going off this premise that he needs 'liberating'. It's part of his duty to build play from the first phase as well. It just seems to me you're suggesting we need a player like Xhaka to 'liberate' him so he can play further up the pitch. Correct me if I'm wrong.
But again, I say in the months where Ramsey showed his best form, he could have played with any player in the midfield. It didn't matter. Once he started helping out and making the simple passes deeper on the pitch, working the ball forward, he started to find space and the goals came. Now it seems like he's trying to bypass the first phase of play and just wants to be involved in the final third action when we're in possession. He'll rush forward after making a pass without thinking he may need to support the build up play. It's what Elneny and Cazorla do very well and what Ramsey neglects. That's my main problem with him. We'll see if Xhaka makes a difference.

Finally confirmed.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Sell him, he's shit!
Get in!
We've signed Granit? Are you sure? Is it written in stone?
Love left footed DCMs.
What a man.
