Jacob Ramsey

[Risso]

Two weeks to get the injuries cleared up I guess.

[Bad English]

Two weeks for Ollie to lose the match sharpness he was building up.

I've seen that Watkins got the assist for the opener yesterday when it was all about JJ's clever run and cross from the free-kick. Can see why Ollie is so modest about his assists record from last season. He said something about a lot of them being crosses that just hit off him en route to the goalscorer.

[AV84]

You'd need to see a better angle of it to know what kind of a touch he did get on that one yesterday, but from all the main angles it seems as likely he was trying to avoid it as he was in control of it.

[Ian.]

The assist rule is quite ridiculous and should change. I presume it’s really only there to accommodate fantasy football really. Before that did anyone actually care who got the assist?

[AV84]

Depends on the style of football a team was playing but I imagine a player who created a lot of goals would have always been on other managers radars. Obviously that would be actually creating goals, as opposed to accidentally getting hit by a ball as you fall over it.

Nice to see he’s the face of September in the calendar - feels like I’ve had Diaby staring at me forever .

[brontebilly]

Thought he did well yesterday. Had a bit of a cob on him when he was brought off.

Rightly so when Rogers was losing the ball every time he got it. In any case, Ramsey was involved in both goals and was getting shots on goal in. Will start v Everton.

Yes

We beat Leicester, so no. Unless you changed it before Arsenal, then yes and no.

Yeah, I'd hope it's a fitness thing and Emery minding him. Rogers might be flavour of the month but JJ in full flight is still our best player.

[Dante Lavelli]

We’re going to need him to start getting among the goals again. I expect he’ll be starting now Bailey is out. JJ is looking very sharp, it has to be said.

In terms of the job they do, I'd assume Philogene would be getting Bailey's spot?

I’d think Unai would probably go McGinn on the right and JJ on the left.

And would be sensible to do so as they both offer much more than Philogene at the moment.

Yeah. Makes sense to give Philogene a few confidence boosting cameos against tiring defenders before starting whole games.  He can play both wings too, so emery can target the full back that’s booked or noticeably knackered.  Along with Duran that’s two natural “finishers” that could make a big difference.

Right now Maatsen and Nedeljkovic look like really good options for that as well. I wouldn't fancy seeing that much pace coming on as the opposition manager.
