Thought he was very poor on the ball. Always runs a lot and was good tracking back today though. Bu still not seeing anything to convince me we need him.
In my opinion, the fact he runs a lot and can be a box to box midfielder who is also technically able means we do need him. Bar Elneny, we don't have anyone who can do that.
In a clear role i.e like he grew into it today or/and like the one he plays for Wales he is very useful. What we need is a variety of different players who all complement each other. Today's Ramsey, the aggressive box to box ball winner who also get's on the end of things in the opponent's box is perfect in a three in midfield. A real DM, a creator/technical midfielder ala Cazorla/Modric/Kroos and a box to box like Ramsey is perfect.
The problem is, we've often stuck him with Flamini or Xhaka who is still finding his feet. His below par performances have been as a result of regaining fitness or poor management. He would thrive under a Poch, Mourinho or Conte. Probably, less so under a Wenger, Klopp or Guardiola.
