I think that we all need to remember that he is only 21. I'm guilty of forgetting, that to be honest he is one of the junior members of the team (probably because he doesn't look anything like 21 in appearance). I expect he is fully aware of the expectation from the club and supporters on his shoulders. Yesterday he played like someone who was feeling the nerves.
Ramirez will be an exceptional player for us when he is fully fit. His touch,control and flair will all return and he will provide that extra dimension we are currently lacking. I am more concerned about RL who is fit but has lost his touch and things are just not happening for him. I hope he can score against QPR to get that confidence and belief back which will be just fantastic for us
Rickie is a confidence player who needs to be loved. Once he gets on a roll he is a monster. He has found himself sidelined initially this season for tactical reasons and he hasn't got his touch back. A hattrick on Saturday should just about do it!
I think most of us have learnt not to make knee-jerk reactions when things aren't going our way, but occasionally someone gets frustrated and makes an ill-informed comment in the heat of the moment. Take a look at the Newcastle board if you want to see what ours looked like a few weeks ago.
Very good point, I've been guilty of this a few times this season, like after the West Ham and Leeds games in particular.
The stream I watched wasn't exactly full on shiny HD, but I'm still willing to stake a few pounds on Ramirez, Puncheon and Lallana being the players highlighted on MOTD2 for their all round contribution tonight.
I didn't comment on this at the time because I knew it was a heat of the moment, knee jerk reaction that would come back to bite RLGB in the arse. It happens to the best of us, although some of us wouldn't be quite so quick to make a thread on the matter. I'm sure he's just as happy as the rest of us to have Ramirez prove him wrong.
I am honestly delighted. You can tell it was heat of the moment. Very blunt article with no explanation until later in the evening when I had the time and effort to back it up.
