rayv36 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I hope Ramsey continues to be played as a winger and actually performs, just to make sure he is never put back at LB again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rass Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Considering the deserved shit he has copped for his LB efforts this year, I actually thought he was good tonight and looked quite dangerous at times. Best game I've seen him play for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strider Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Yeah looked very comfortable on the wing. Gotta love his cheeky Ronaldo chops and step overs even though he's 8 meters away from the nearest defender. Solid shift 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jovan Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 There was one passage he picked up the ball with a lot of space and did some step over then decided to cut in and then doubled back to where he just came and ended losing the ball pathetically. Seriously who plays left in the youth team, must be better until Duff is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Got the feeling it was somewhat of a last chance saloon for him tonight, considering his struggles in defence and his questionable attacking prowess.

NewConvert Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Both Garrucio at LB and Ramsay on LW had reasonable, if not unspectacular games. Indeed the pair surpassed my expectations. Lets not forget that both players have been tried at LB and found wanting. Both have played LW and been OK. So the question becomes can they keep this "good" form as a pair?

kingofhearts Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Last night just proved what everyone already knew. Ramsey is just not very good at soccer. Regardless of where you play him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Ramsay probably had his best game of the year, had some good moments, BUT that chance at about 39 minutes - edge of the 6 yard box and he puts it out for a throw in. OK the angle was narrowish, but a pro hits the target every time and a class player scores. He's quick, he's got talent, but he does stuff like this all the time.

NuggetsMcGreggor Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 i thought he played well. used his pace well and worried their defence. obviously his finishing on the volley was poor but he's also low on confidence as a result of JVS playing him at LB. i'd be happy to see him line up at LW against perth and see if he can build on last night.

Has become a scapegoat, but I do believe he has been unfairly potted for his game last night. He was solid and was prepared to help out. I thought he played his part.

NewConvert Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Furthermore there were two occasions when he ran up the left flank with Geria on his inside and he was looking to cross but no one was there to give him support. I think that if anyone had to look at the game clinically (and I certainly hope that the coaching staff do) you will find that all players screwed up at one point or another. Ramsay was no different in that regard but he troubled Geria several times and Barbarousses was by and large ineffective - and he is the kind of player that cannot be contained for the full game.

GreenSeater Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Agree with the above posts. I think he was actually decent last night, and I think it will take time for him to regain confidence after JVS almost killed his career by sticking him at LB.

I really like Garuccio and think he needs to be persisted with, at least until we get some natural FBs, but he's getting a lot support from further up the field. And that's just fine with me, as long as it continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 IMO Ramsay is copping stick unfairly. It's really unfair to be picking on his faults time and time again. Our forwards have hardly covered themselves with goal-scoring glory in recent weeks. The last time one of our forwards scored from open play was against Central Coast on 16th November (Dugandzic). Since then the scorers have been Paartalu (3), Williams (pen), and Mooy (pen). Paartalu is actually our leading scorer (3). Followed by Dugandzic (2), Villa(2), Williams (2 incl 1 pen), Wielaert (1), Hoffman (1), Kisnorbo (1), Marino (1) and Mooy (1 pen). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Followed by Dugandzic (2), Villa(2), Williams (2 incl 1 pen), Wielaert (1), Hoffman (1), Kisnorbo (1), Marino (1) and Mooy (1 pen). Yeah, it's a fair point. We just don't look that dangerous in open play, moments like the Mooy shot last night notwithstanding. Maybe with Duff and Koren playing a greater role and definitely with Kennedy about to come in, that will change. But there is a bit of a feeling (with me at least) that I'm sort of only 75% interested when we have the ball in the attacking third, until we earn a set piece, then it's like 'Here's a chance'. Shouldn't be like that. My only real beef with Ramsay, now that he's on the wing, is his complete absence whatsoever of a right foot. That mid-air kung fu shot in the first half would have been our best goal since Engelaar's 50-yarder if it had gone in. Wouldn't have an issue with an unchanged lineup for Perth and it will be interesting to see who sits out if Koren does come into the first XI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofhearts Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Did he have a good game? Maybe. Is he good ebough to ppay for a league winning team? NO Pretty much this. Supposedly we're going to sign another player or 2 in January if you believe what JVS has been telling us. Most likely it'll be a LB, and that'll push garrucio up to LW meaning their is just no more room in this team for Ramsey. Unless people on here think Ramsey is better then Garrucio? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay provided a lot of good pressure and hustle last night. As for his finishing, this was pretty much his first start in a forward position this season. Ramsay will get more confident and finish better after a bit more game time in a forward position. Right now Ramsay is pretty much like our forwards, Williams and Dugandzic: they are providing impressive hustle and defence, but their goal production could improve. So I don't think Ramsay deserves to be criticised more than Williams, Brown and the like, as he is being.

I'll say that Garrucio and Ramsay are on par form wise. The advantage that Garucio has is that he is younger and therefore has more potential. So far Garuccio has had one good game prior to last Saturday's derby and so has Ramsay (after all Garuccio has not been able to displace Ramsay from LB the only position available). And if we were to be fair we would leave the Garuccio/Ramsay combo in place this week and see how they go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Fair? I get the concept but if duff is fit he plays ahead of pretty much everyone and that includes Rambo of course. Benny has been much better at lb, though I do still see him as a winger long term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriente Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Thought he was alright actually. Put in more tackles playing on the wing than he did collectively over 9 weeks playing at left back. Obviously not as good as Duff, but I was just glad to see the wingers playing on their correct sides for once. Hope JVS persists with it once Duffman is back. Would be happy to see Rambo off the bench to run at tired defenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewConvert Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Well if Duff is not quite fit then I would leave the existing combo. BUT if Duff is fit wouldn't that mean that he would return to play on the right side pairing Duff with Hoffman? So that would still leave Garuccio and Ramsay on the left... So confused.

gunheart Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 I'm done with Ramsay. Finally done after this arvo. I can only laugh at him now. The players warm-up before the game where they gather in a circle, stutter-step a bit then turn around and present themselves for a pass or header. Good warm up. In the (approx) 83rd minute this arvo, a throw-in we had and I saw Rambo do this exact drill. I fuckin nearly died. The ball wasn't thrown to him, and forgive me for laying the shit on him, but jeez, I nearly split my sides. And for the other step-over, fancy bullshit he tried to pull off today, I'm over him, he just makes me laugh. I can't believe he played a full match today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rass Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 hmmmm like last week, I actually think he was ok today, especially as the game wore on. Thought his confidence grew and was involved in some good linking work with Mooy, Koren and Garuccio at times. Sure he continues to throw in some real shit along with the good stuff, but his wing looked far more dangerous than the other one today. oh and I saw that drill move as well and thought wtf....

NewConvert Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Well from where I was watching, I thought the whole team was slower than their direct opponents. Willo, Ramsay, Duff, Garuccio, Mooy were all out sprinted at one point or another. Them PG boys are big and fast and mean; that is why they are on top and right now I think that they will win the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrot Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) He tries, but this doesn't make up for his limited ability. He was very ordinary as usual. His ambitions on the pitch far exceeds his limitations, such as trying to take on some players and go past them with the ball - problem is these players are quicker than him plus alert to what he is trying to do and so Ramsay loses possession.
