    The biggest joke of this board is that you are a mod of it. Mind actually arguing about what I wrote rather than throwing cheap shots (2 in a row now)?

    Pathetic person.


    And your obsession with "Jamrag" is childish. Let it go already, has it been a year or more since he's gone?

    Ramsey also my MOTM for us. Excellent again and with every game, he is showing that he might actually be the player that we had all hoped he would be pre Shawcross.

    I have 1 issue with Ramsey and Arteta. they're a good partnership, but they're too similar. If Ramsey can stay good (probably won't happen) then he can be Mikel's long term replacement, and we can have someone else vastly different next to him.

    The apple has fallen far from the tree when Ramsey's performances can be described as 'great'.

    Gladly . you said that Cazorla rarely tries to create actual chances anymore.

    I'd disagree with that, maybe you could expand instead of getting upset ?

    The next step for Ramsey is to rediscover his touch in front of goal. He used to have an excellent shot on him. Maybe he just needs one special goal to give that confidence in front of goal.

    Ramsey has probably taken the most **** from some fans over the last couple of seasons. I think now he's starting to finally prove that he's well worth his place in the team.

    Also as much as we love to slate our own players and manager when we do not win, we have to also give credit to the opposition. Everton are clearly a very strong team and I thought their back four was immense.

    You have to earn respect it should NOT be just given regardless of crap performances.

    credit comes where it is DUE ...and only then

    Baines and Jagielka would walk into our side.

    But he's not man of the match.

    'great performance' against Everton? that was near enough our first choice first XI and we got outplayed for large chunks of that game at home. It wasn't a 'great' performance... merely better than the drivel he's been serving up in the past 24 months. I'm not a Ramsey basher, I'm just frustrated we have so many average players compared to what we used to have.

    Ramsey wouldn't ever even get a sub appearance in our squads of 97/98, 01/02, 03/04, 07/08 etc.

    He's not 'great' and hasn't made any 'great' performances and it also frustrates the amount of extra support he seems to get from some fans simply because he had an horrific injury.

    He's better than he was but he's not great.

    Wilshere was also rubbish tonight but I can only assume/hope he wasn't fit.

    We need a new central midfield as Arteta and Ramsey are not starting material for title winners.

    Ramsey was good.

    It's our lack of cutting edge up front that cost us.

    He was brilliant today, one of the best performances from any player to play against us this season.

    He played great. Even his perennial critics are seeing it. EVERYONE but you is saying that so I think that maybe you should reconsider your opinion.

    He is OK as a focal point when we play teams like Norwich, but against a good side it is a completely different ball game, and he MUST score at least once if he has two chances. Because he will not have more than one or two real chances against a top team. He is a good 2nd choice striker, I think.

    Yah, like I said earlier, not a disastrous result. I would have wanted a win, and it would have put real daylight between us and Sp*rs but it can't be helped now. Everton are very strong defensively and have only lost 5 (FIVE) games this season so we were never going to roll them over. We need to get all 3 against Fulham away on Saturday and that will be tricky too. I really wanted to see Rosicky back, or at least Gervinho (Can't believe I am saying that). All in all, a fair point, not the best of games but we were never realistically going to win every game between now and the end of the season. I think we need at least 70 points to be assured of top 4. We need to win at least 3 more games and draw 1 in order to achieve this. We have more winnable fixtures against Wigan and QPR to come but we need to beat one of Fulham or Newcastle now. I can't see us getting anything against United.
