South Stand Seagull Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Hard to do accomplish much by himself. In Minnesota he was brilliant playing off a partnership..he’s decent alongside JET, the problem is JET wanders about the pitch so much, he’s not actually alongside Ramirez. i think it’s clear he has more ability than our previous strikers though Link to comment
DelMonte Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I just don’t see it with him whatsoever. What’s he good at? Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 4 minutes ago, Roberto said: How many chances when he has had service has he squandered? I think he's a player who's better playing off the striker. 1 I can remember and I've been to all games in Scotland and watched the others on TV. Fluffed a good opportunity against Hearts, other than that he's had nothing to work with. For me this has been a problem at Aberdeen for too long now. We lack creativity up top which was a problem under McInnes latterly and hasn't really improved under Glass. Link to comment
RUL Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 He's getting about one chance a game. He wouldn't be at Aberdeen if he scored every chance. Link to comment

Mr Brightside Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Like all strikers he can only score if he gets chances and a bit of luck/confidence . He showed in the first couple of performances he can score and hopefully with Watkins alongside him it will help. I'm being optimistic. Link to comment

The first few games when he had JET and Hedges playing alongside him, he was getting more space and more chances. Last night he was isolated and barely got a sniff of the ball without coming deep.

Yip. Said to my mate i felt sorry for Ramirez. Knocking his pan in, but nobody within 40 yards of him and no service. Link to comment

Thankless task More I think about it, I've nae idea how our midfield was set up last night. All over the shop Link to comment

But we've got literally nobody we could have taken on for him - and even if we did, until the midfield set up changed, i dont think it would have made an iota of difference. Link to comment
Big Hat Logan Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Yeah, if he was missing chance after chance I would be concerned but he’s literally getting one a game. The lack of creativity in the squad is the biggest issue. We saw last night how isolated Ramirez was and when a ball was played into the box it was easy for the keeper. The worrying thing is we have an attacking coach yet we don’t create anything or score any goals. Link to comment

When he got that dead leg it really hit home that we had no viable options. McGinn was a waste of a jersey as usual. Link to comment

We had to rely on Hayes and the full backs. Hayes worked tirelessly, but had zero product and we couldn't push Mackenzie and Ramsey forward al the time as it leaves us exposed. Hopefully with the two new signings, and if rumours true about longstaff then we'll be in a much better place attacking wise. Hedges back as well soon, that should give us plenty options going forward. Link to comment

Ferguson should be doing more IMO and Jenks is meant to be an attacking mid I think so between them they should have been more positive. Ojo at least tried to get things going but agree he was having to defend too much instead. 11 minutes ago, StandFree1982 said: He'll always be remembered fondly, and to me he's been one of, if not the, best player we've had in the past 15 years.

Totally agree, one of the best players we’ve had in a good while but it’s been years now since he was effective. I suspect he will be on a good wage too. Link to comment

Also, forever grateful for him staying on after his first season - first time in ages we didn't lose a player to EL1/EL2 the minute they became a standout in our team. For the next 4 seasons, we had pretty good record for player retention, and I think McGinn's decision influenced that. Link to comment

It’s almost as if 6 games in the opposition’s sussed press Lewis, force ball to non ball-comfortable Centre Half (choose either) double up and smother Brown and watch lone striker get completely isolated. Oh, and two full backs very comfortable in attack you say? Well let’s attack them (us) and force them to stay in their own 1/3Rd 60 yds from our goal then... Doesnt strike me as a particularly cunning plan. Just basic competence. Link to comment

McLennan isn't wired right and JET despite having some decent technique is just not going to influence us enough over the course of the season. He may be able to get a tune out of Ramirez, Watkins, Hedges and Samuel so see how that goes. Link to comment
afc1903mad Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Ramirez makes some very good, intelligent movement. His finishing however is poor. Link to comment

DelMonte Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 So turns out he’s shite. Free header 6 yards out and he made horrendous contact on it. He isn’t a good finisher, can’t hold the ball, runs about like a headless chicken. Aaaand he’s our only number 9. Fucked. Link to comment
RED_JOHN Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I am going to stick up here for Ramirez a bit. He definitely needs another striker up top with him. He will be our top scorer this season but I will be honest and say who the hell is going to get near him? Samuels, Watkins, JET etc are not strikers in a million years. Ferguson might be the closest in the scoring charts but that is only because he is on penalties. Cormack and Glass bummed about playing attacking football…..next time they both would be better keeping their mouths shut. Link to comment

I think he can hold the ball and be effective and hold the ball well, when he's not isolated against 3 centre halves like he was yesterday. He's running around like a headless chicken trying to influence the game. It's not for the sake of it. He's a good player, which is clear I think to most, he's just not got guys as good around him. Watkins and Hedges either side of him, and I think he'd be much better. Seriously have no idea how you think he’s a good player. If he came from England I’m not convinced you’d say that. No idea why he gets a free pass. Link to comment

cheesepipes Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Got a positive start againt European pub teams, got the social media compliments to the city and fans right from the start. So we had Superman comparisons and a very catchy ABBA based song on our hands very early on. Turns out hes very average and its not even driving sleet season yet. Link to comment
