Played really well, our kid. Had another couple of great late runs before the "goal"

Surprisingly (for me) started Juventus’s biggest game of the season against Milan so must be considered a first teamer on that evidence....but was inexplicably played as an orthodox left winger and was completely anonymous. Well, bar playing a suicidal cross without looking across the edge of his own area that gave Milan a good attacking opportunity. Subbed off shortly after the 2nd goal.
Not really sure what the point of playing him on the wing is, are they that hard up for genuine left wingers?

Not really sure what the point of playing him on the wing is, are they that hard up for genuine left wingers? I doubt he was playing as an orthodox left winger because it was the same setup as with the last few games I've watched him play in. It's fluid with him moving centrally when in possesion, but then stays out wide when they're in their defensive shape. Didn't watch the game, shame to hear he had a poor game, he usually steps up in the big crunch games. He's been good in previous games though, so still generally in a good vain of form |

I watched the game, he played well, he didn't stay on the left wing, drifted around the pitch, made good runs into box as per usual. 6/10 performance!

He's been good in previous games though, so still generally in a good vain of form Yeah good observation because I recall he did appear centrally a couple of times, one when he had a chance for a shot on the edge of the box but didn’t get hold of it, but I have to say for the most part I saw him out on the wing and he had no real influence on the game, by contrast Chiesa on the opposite wing cut in, got involved and got two goals. On the whole good to see he started in the big game but the way they used him didn’t work (at least on this occasion) |

Switched on from the point he played that crazy ball across the box to a Milan player, wasn't playing LW, more of a free roaming central role.
Poor performance by his recent standards - didn't look confident on the ball and quite a few sloppy mistakes. Had a good chance to score but on his weaker foot sliced it a bit. Strange game all round.

Yeah he was definitely asked to defend out wide on the left and was popping up there to help build up play, but also came inside dropping between the centre backs, offering in midfield, and even made several runs down the right hand side
To me it looked as though they were defending in a 4-4-2, and then attacking in a 4-2-2-2, with Chiesa & Ramsey given free roles in possession
I didn't think he was poor and I didn't think he was particularly good. It's obviously a new role for him so perhaps it was just adjustment, or perhaps it was that Milan are a good team at home. Either way I don't think he was bad, just didn't dominate the game like we've seen him do against Barcelona & Udinese
Good to see he started, and was only taken off in the final set of substitutions when Juve were ahead. Pirlo clearly trusts him, and looking at Juve's squad Ramsey seems to be the only central midfielder they have with forward drive, so I'd expect him to be important moving forwards

Back amongst the goals!
Comes on at half time with the game at 0-0 against 10 man Sassuolo
Heading into the last 10 minutes with the game at 1-1 and a poachers finish from Rambo puts them ahead - more than likely the winning goal!

Came on after only 19 mins after an injury to McKennie. Played very well again, created a handful of gilt edged chances for others and was their most composed player overall. Could have scored a couple more had CR7 and Kulusevski jot gotten in his way. |

See England have now got an Aaron Ramsey who plays for Aston Villa.
This could be confusing.
Headline popped up on phone
"Aaron Ramsey to Celtic?"
But it turns out it was this other Aaron Ramsey!

Disappointed if we can't get the Canton singing 'Two Aaron Ramseys' at some point in the future. |

Interesting take on how Ramsey is perceived in Italy: I can see why they think NK that. Obviously there is more to his game than hard work, but he does work hard. And being known as 'the assistant' might sound unflattering as translated, but I think the sentiment behind it is that he does a lot of the important stuff that goes unnoticed, without necessarily grabbing the headlines. Which is how I see his role in that team. You can see Ronaldo really enjoys playing with him and always looks to give him the ball |

Starts in their biggest game of the season to date. I think we can certainly say he is considered a first team player at the moment and I think he can still go up another level. Starting tonight ahead of Arthur and McKennie.

Fantastic. If he's fit and firing in March we'll have one of Europe's best players at our disposal against Belgium. Yeah they have several like that, but we can stand up to them.

Very disappointing stuff. Subbed off after 60mins with Juve 2-0 down. He wasn't bad, but Juve were just completed outplayed and seemed to be really poorly set up. They were on the back foot throughout so ramsey never really got into the game.

They were on the back foot throughout so ramsey never really got into the game. Same as against Milan then. Certainly against the bigger teams picking him on the wing with a mandate to drift in is not giving him the opportunity to have any influence on the game. That being said the Juventus forum makes grim reading. I don’t think Juve is the best team for him right now especially with the mess they are in at the moment after all their dominance. I suspect Pirlo will be sacked soon and Allegri will return |

I think they need him back, they seem to have lost their solidity with Chiellini and Bonucci ageing. Perhaps he could bring it back - after all, he was the one that signed Rambo so he must be a fan To be fair I think Pirlo deserves a chance to show what he can do, but he clearly is still figuring out his best system |

They might not even be in the race this season and for that to happen, especially after Sarri (not a great manager) winning it last season is as catastrophic as it can get. I guess the big issue is that Pirlo is not exactly displaying signs of having good game management potential, It doesn’t look to be a case that he’s just being let down by the players. The Juve squad isn’t great, don’t get me wrong but I don’t feel Pirlo is fulfilling his end of this adequately. Probably way too soon for him to have taken on a job where a league title is the baseline requirement I recall Juve fans being glad Allegri left as they thought they could get someone to push them one step further to being champions of Europe but “careful what you wish for” has been the lesson they have learned. I think they would welcome him back now. |

90 minutes last night in the cup, but I'm really starting to feel for Ramsey over there.
It seems that the Juventus side is full of players playing for themselves.
When Ramsey got the ball he'd play an unselfish pass to try and put someone else in. When any of the other players got the ball they'd try and beat as many players as they could and get a shot away.
Ramsey made some great runs but it seems the others just don't want to pass to him.
It's a real shame as he's being seen as a support player, when he's more talented than the likes of Chiesa and Kulusevski.
But he either need to accept that support role, or be more selfish and risk the fans getting on his back.

Playing very well recently! Let’s hope we can have the gift of having him fit & firing in time for the games in march. Would be a huge start for us to have all the boys fit and ready.
