He's got his own thread on the Sunderland board after this week's performances so people are sitting up and taking notice.

Really?! Link ?

And one for Gerrard which includes a marvellous 'Beheadie Howe' reference.

Isn't it good to read people being positive about us??? What a change.

His awareness is excellent.
His goal vrs Norwich, he was looking around for options before committing to the final drive and shot.
Coutinho‘s goal he took the time to look to see a better option before he thought of glory. All in a split second.

This. Showing where he wanted the ball and a quick look over to pick the cross just before the ball ran into his path. Superb.

[ROBBO]

He is strong on either foot and level headed with it, Oh and he's from Great Barr another advantage.

I wouldn't say his old man is a Villa fan, boxed out of Small Heath amateur boxing club, and wore royal blue and white shorts when fighting.

Well he bought his family up in Great Barr, so he must have seen the error in his ways somewhere.

The Guardian:

7) A new home-grown hero at Villa Park

The glamorous debutant who struck a late equaliser understandably took all the headlines at Villa Park, but there’s a fair argument that Philippe Coutinho was only his side’s third most impressive midfielder on Saturday. Emi Buendía, whose place looks most obviously threatened by the Brazilian’s arrival, put in a probingly creative display and showed enough flashes of link-up play with Coutinho to suggest that the two playmakers needn’t be competing for one position. But Villa’s star performer was Jacob Ramsey, who scored one and set up the other in a riveting all-action central midfield performance that would have had the manager furrowing his brow in approval. Ramsey has already started more games since Steven Gerrard took charge in November than he did over the whole of last season, and the early signs are that the new boss’s judgment is spot on. After losing the beloved Jack Grealish last summer, have Villa found a new local hero? If so, then he’s already got the perfect mentor. Alex Hess

I'm not sure Alex Hess will be his ideal mentor...

In fairness Deano was playing him regulalry before Gerrard came.  The article makes is sound like Gerrard discovered him.

Bit like Buendia in that the upside of his game is getting better as the weeks go by, but still makes a few too many inforced errors.  Understandable for a player do young, but he is starting to look the part.

I'm not sure Alex Hess will be his ideal mentor...

Especially if he's related to Rudolph

I don't mind the sentiment of the piece but that bold bit is just fucking stupid, he's 20, playing more games this season than last is literally exactly what you'd expect and what happens with almost every young player that breaks through.
