The highs and lows of Aaron Ramsey

[Lilwizzle]

Of course he will captain us one day, must keep the tradition of selling our captain to a significant rival/competitor alive.

Vieira, Juventus - 2005
Henry, Barcelona - 2007
Fabregas, Barcelona - 2011
van Persie, Man United - 2012
Ramsey, Madrid/Barcelona - ?

A shame that Arteta has put an annoying halt to this trend, he will leave for a lowly team when his contract expires, and is not a pivotal player anymore anyway.

All this aside, I hope Wilshere gets the captaincy; he's a true Arsenal man, and I don't see him leaving in his prime years.

All he needs is one injury free campaign, and he's set.

That's the benefit of having a play come through the ranks, no substitute for it.

You forgot about the real legendary captain.

I just watched him play for Wales and he was awful.

He had the pre-assist for the goal though.

Yeah he was bad. But that's been his form for a while now. He needs to get his act together. He'll be consistently played though no matter how poor he's playing.

He got MOTM........ thought he was sensational in the second half

 

[RandyMarsh]

I stopped watching around the 65th minute mark so maybe he got better after that. But him and Bale were really bad up to that point.

I watched the entire 1st half, switched to Belgium match in the 2nd half but kept flicking between the 2 matches. I did't see him do anything sensational.

He had his moments, some of his movement was outstanding but his teammates never managed to get the ball to him. Even though his touch let him down on a few occasions, he never stopped running and put in a great shift for the team. The pitch didn't allow for good football either.

 

[RandyMarsh]

Can't say i liked Wales' set up too much though. Their defence is solid but in attack they look pretty toothless.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Imagine how powerful he can be if he wins MOTM while playing poorly.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

They essentially just stay solid and hope Bale and to a lesser extent Ramsey does something brilliant, it's worked for a while though so fair play to them.

I know how powerful he can be. He can be an incredible player. I just don't think he's in good form atm. Looks sloppy and not himself. He was dispossessed more than any other player in the first half (8 times).

Thought Williams was their best player tonight from what i saw anyway. He's an absolute rock at the back,

They'll be a major force when Joe Allen returns from injury.

Yeah he needs to simplify and be more responsible with the ball (talking about for Arsenal recently, I didn't watch the Wales game). But he always is able to make things happen with his energy even when not playing that well.

We need him to get back to his best though.

Didn't he win MOTM against Newcastle United as well? LOL Just goes to show you how much I think of that particular distinction.

Yeah Ramsey, Alexis and Giroud all need to get back to their best to see us regain top form again. None of them have started the season particularly well. No coincidence that our goals have dried up since these guys lost form.

What is going on with this thread? Posts keep appearing and disappearing.

I don't know what games you guys are watching if you think Ramsey's been poor. He was very good at Newcastle and tonight against Cyprus.

If this is Ramsey's 'very good' then his level has seriously dropped. He's been average at best.
