Jacob Ramsey - Gone

[Risso]

I honestly think the biggest problem for JJ isn't the formation but just tiredness. His touch is normally excellent but in the last 2 games he's given away possession with sloppy control a few times. That's the sort of thing you see creeping in when players need a rest. He's still very young to be starting as many games as he is.

I think it's easy to forget how young he is, given how composed and at home he looks in the Premier League.

Agreed.  Ramsey wil hopefully have a brilliant career for us, but he's a bit off the pace and I really think Sanson should get a chance now.

I still thought he was solid last night and a few times gained us some time to recover with his driving runs, especially in the moments Leeds had the ball for a while.

He didn't play badly, but he wasn't at the level he was a month ago.

[Whiney MacWhineface]

He's not been at his absolute best, so perhaps time for a rest and to give Sanson a start? Sanson has impressed me every time he's come on recently.

My thoughts entirely last night.

I would try him further forward in place of Ings, has the speed, the skill and a great ball strike.

Ramsey has the ability to run with the ball which helps drag us up the pitch at times. Unfortunately yesterday he also lost the ball a few times a left us vulnerable to a counter attack. When he does carry the ball forward we need to get players closer to him.

He's going to have dips in form now and again, he is only 20. I like him a lot but he might benefit with a game or two on the bench at some point, he's played a lot of football.

Yep, it's probably an experience thing, but i thought he held onto the ball a bit longer than necessary, resulting in him giving it away and putting us under pressure. As has been said, he's still very young and i've high hopes for him, but it's an area to work on.

I thought he started well but once Rice and Soucek began to dominate he was much less effective.

I wonder if he practices taking free kicks. I think he could be quite a threat on free kicks around the edge of the box with the way he's placed a couple of his goals.

[Dante Lavelli]

The Totally Football podcast had a West Ham fan/journalist on and he called Ramsey a “Rolls Royce” player and reckoned he is an outsider to start in the World Cup.

High praise.

[eamonn]

He should be in the running for a Young Player of the Year nomination but the voting tends to be stupidly early on those awards, doesn't it? And he only became more of a household name to neutrals December-time.

Hes not really a Southgate kind of player, travels with the ball and he's not even a right back.

I think he’s more of a David Platt, quality finishes and intelligent runs. Not a set piece kinda midfielder, but he has time to practice that’s for sure.
