You can play Meireles as a holding midfielder against some teams, but he will fail there against the upper tier teams like ManU, ManC, and Pool. You need Mikel or Romeu in that position.

You can but he isn't needed, Romeu can do the job against smaller teams and Mikel against the big boys, Meireles IMO should not play there again.

That would block the way for Lampard.. I believe. Which is something AVB cant afford to do

LOL

well, you cant say hes not improving

he has so many shots that misses the post by miles, i can't understand why he takes so many bad shots.

Quickly becoming a GOAT. Yaya and Barry couldn't handle him in the second half.

I'd like to see him and Danny have a race on the training field, would be a close one.

Without him we won't be in the form we are in now. He's absolutely essential even if he is not the best passer in the world.

Legend, not regretting buying his shirt at all.

Lol and Sturridge would be gasping for breath while Ramires would be just normal, whoever wins

Try naming a faster sprinting centermid ANYWHERE in the world.

You wont find one.

Excellent pressing midfielder and excellent counter attack runner. Put a midfield with him who can pass and create and your good.

That was always the idea, franchise. I remember people saying Ramires can't create and we all said he doesn't need to. All he needs is a creator near him and we have a classy midfield.

In all honesty, I am really hoping Josh does a Sturridge and becomes part of the starting XI next year.


That is one awesome and very young Midfield.

You summed it up. I can't imagine where we would be without Ramires because he is the guy that keeps the midfield going. People don't rate him because he isn't so technical but everyone forgets the valuable things he does which is ultimately why he almost always starts for us.

Surprisingly he already has 5 goals this season on top of that too, I hope he can get 12 by the end of the season. Who says he can't finish

I am still not sold on him tbh, maybe it is because my hate for unintelligent football players. ex: Kalou, Di Maria, and so on.

In the city game he made some really nice blistering runs, but all of them didn't result in any chances. Because he lost the ball in all of the occasions near attacking threat.

His biggest contribution was forcing Clichy sent off, and that result from Clichy poor judgement. Clichy didn't have to go for a challenge because Ramires lost the ball already, and surrounded by three city players.

He is good pressing, but he lacks discipline. The point is to press as a team, you only put your team at jeopardy when he randomly press.

I will never forget this in goal legacy history, but one Arsenal fan and he was actually serious said Wilshere.

I hope yesterday cleared any doubts about whether he's vital to us

There's a direct correlation about him performing well and us winning.

Agreed, I was thinking we were missing him yesterday.

I was too, the whole game we missed him.

8 goals already
of course he can finish :lol!:

best box-to-box midfielder alive

Alot of those goals are tap ins though. His finish for his 2nd was quality and I wish he would attempt more of those when he's one on one. He usually just hits it straight at the keeper though.

If his first touch and passing could somehow improve I'm convinced he would be the best CM in the League. Future GOAT.

Now to increase his Food Allowance and make him gain some weight..

Happy Birthday Ramires!

Great article on what Ramires means to us and is all about.

Honestly, he deserves the contract extension and show win player of the year.

For the love of god stop playing him at right midfield.

I was not a fan of Ramires in midfield as noted many times. But i am a fan of what he does on the wings. He is the only wing player we have who makes constant great runs. Sturridge, Kalou, and Malouda should take note.
