So you are supporting my argument for what we should be expecting of a quality (for our league) level striker now? ie. 3 chances & maybe 2 of them should be on target & 1 a goal. Something Ramirez has been consistent with ? Link to comment

The manager, the tactics and some of the other players are a bigger problem He's bloody ace. Stirs up shit and rattles defenders, great finisher, always smiling and loves Jesus. Best striker we've had since Frank McDougall IMO. Believe he's on 15 goals this season. Doesn't take pens either. Given how complete shite we are I'd say that's a pretty fucking good return. 2 Link to comment

He gets frustrated and drops deep to see more of the ball, not his forte, and he gets shit for dropping deep. He'd be in a lose-lose situation if he wasn't putting the ball in the net despite all the obstacles put in his way. At some point every striker goes through an extended barren patch, and then he'll be the scapegoat once more. I'd like to see us pair him with Bez for a few games, just to see how that works out. Exactly what I said last week about him. Link to comment

That's a fair old statement, considering since then we have had Shearer, Gillhaus, and Jess (first spell only - he was midfielder in his 2nd). * Actually, I see Hans only scored 27 goals from 78 games in his 4 years with us. - that's a lower return than I'd expected to see. (0.34 per game) ** So looking at the others, I see Jess scored 50 from 201 games in 1st spell, and then 30 from 113 games in his 2nd spell - meaning he was more prolific (slightly) from midfield. (0.25 per game and 0.26 per game) To complete the set, Shearer got 55 from 152 games (0.36 per game) - not bad considering he came off the bench a lot towards the end of his time at the club (as far as I remember) and I think Christian is currently 14 from 33 (0.42 per game) So, maybe not such a "fair old statement" as I had first thought Also, I should make it clear I am not having a pop at the guy, I am a massive fan of the happy Ramirez.

South Stand Seagull Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Another great game from Christian.. carried the team on his back, almost single handedly kept us in the cup. He deserves better. Link to comment

I'm genuinely asking as I don't know myself Admittedly I didn’t watch the game to day Millertime, but I don’t agree with your negativity towards Ramirez. In my view there are much bigger issues, such a our defensive shambles, tactical frailties and arrogance, together with the fact our football operation have put in place the most lopsided squad with no obvious foil for Ramirez. I think he’s a decent striker, and would be banging them in for a properly functioning team, and actually his return in such a team which is so ponderous going forward is actually half decent. Not world class I grant you, but half decent nonetheless. Link to comment
DelMonte Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Thought he played well today. That chance at the end is a sickener though. Link to comment

Thing is, he is our sole striker and plays every single minute kf every game, so yeah, unless he is absolutely rotten he is if course going to score some goals Shall I regurgitate the very apt RvN analogy again?

One of which I clearly remember as Ferguson’s Ramirez is still a one in three level striker at this level & easily good enough. If he really missed six chances as you say then you might have an actual point but I don’t think Ramirez has ever missed 6 chances in one game let alone after scoring his first chance then doing so I promise you, he had 7 chances today Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Ramirez’s stats overall for us easily have him at a consistent 1 in 3 ratio. Concentrate on slating Ramsay for controversy Millertime. You will get better milage. Link to comment
Watson Oh The Bar! Scanlon Yes! Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I’m not aware of what the RvN analogy is admittedly, but you nail my point. He’s our sole striker who plays every game. No club should be relying on just the one striker. Negligence on the part of our football department. I don’t blame Ramirez for that. We are incredibly one dimensional. Link to comment

To slate Ramirez shows a lack of basic football understanding or outright attention seeking. I suspect both. 1 Link to comment
Terrorfex Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Considering our issues scoring goals over the last two seasons, it's pretty incredible anyone is seriously suggesting a strike on 15+ is in any way deserving of negative focus given the current disaster and the other 10 on the pitch with him at any one time. 1 Link to comment
