Ramires

I'm watching the Pool vs Chelsea game and I don't know why I haven't noticed this before but Ramires is a fouling machine. I mean he just runs around and fouls the crap out of anyone close to the ball. I don't remember him playing like this at Benefica, I remember him being a class player with great ball skills.

I know this may be a little harsh as he is a good player, but am I way off here?????


PS. I have nothing against Chelsea and I actually want them to win so please don't take this as a bash Chelsea thread.

He's basically pressing by himself...not surprising

Rich man's Lassana Diarra.

He's a pest. Probably has the best stamina in the PL.

I just find it weird that he doesn't really show any of the skills that made him a 20 mill player at Benefica, and just runs around and fouls.

Like I said I remember at Benefica where he had great ball skills and passing ability and would pop up and score from time to time. IT's like he's morphed into an EPL destroyer.

Nice, judge him after 1 game....

Three lung Park may have something to say about that

I'm not judging him after one game. I have watched Chelsea play a bunch of times over the last couple of years as when you live in the States there one of the teams that's on every weekend plus we have to watch there games vs Genk in the CL over better games because there Chelsea and even non football fans in the states know who they are.

Now instead of being negative I asked a question and would like some feedback from Chelsea fans, am I wrong, is he not a totally different player then you bought from Benefica? Did you think you were getting a destroyer when you signed him?

He does go on saloming runs sometimes though defences, but not alot. More is a hard worker who gets around the pitch, does foul a bit but just due to him being rash sometimes I think.

This.

I have not really been impressed with Ramires. He has great workrate but for a Brazilian, he's awfully English, technically.

Iceman: Wilshere

Gary Neville: Ryan Taylor could play till he's 45 with Jonas covering him.

Hes a runner,will be good to close the game but as a starter no way..

And LOL at Ramirez having great ball skills..

:lol!: if true. Anyone with a news with interview from Portuguese site?

"this foreigner Ramires, doesn't even know the score of a game he's playing in" ~ 'Arry

lol.. still he works his ass off for Chelsea, one of the good guys in the squad.

I read it earlier on Goal España, but there's nothing about it on brazilian or portuguese papers.

ROFL

What's wrong with fouling? It's his job and he does it well IMO.

i really think dailyfail are spewing BS

Worst Right Midfielder of all time when he is in fact playing right midfield.

Always in acres of space....always finds a way to screw it up.

He was a beast vs /\/apoli

Been a beast most of the season.

Huge fan of this player. Been so ever since he burst onto the scene back at the Confed Cup. He doesn't have that typical Brazilian flair and probably never will, but that's quite all right for what he brings to Chelsea's play.

Has energizer batteries for lungs
