He was brilliant as a winger he went past the RB several times in tandem with Kerkez.

How come Iraola didn’t mention Ramsay, when he was talking about the RB position/options?

Bad man management again?

:wink:

No, because we like him :grin: :+1:

Ramsay is the kind of player who gets better in people’s imagination. He’s rarely fit and when he is he can’t convince anyone to play him. Klopp and Slot both said no, Iraola only turned to him towards the end of a game against what was essentially Sunderland’s U21 team.

He is not without talent but I think athletically he’s just not close. His body failed him at the wrong age unfortunately.

And crucially he’s a third choice right back, if that, who takes one of your non-homegrown spots and doesn’t really look to have the ability to kick on and challenge for a starting spot when others are fit.

Another for whom untimely injuries have stunted his development at just the wrong time.

strange thing about Ramsay and his injury record…

according to transmark

Ramsay has had 4 injuries in his career at Aberdeen and Liverpool,
1 of those injuries is listed a knee injury which kept him for the best part of a year, and only he recovered from this injury 6 months before Klopp quit

in total Ramsay has missed 68 games through injury/sickness

meanwhile Bradley has had 9 injuries and missed 83 games

i hope their bodies can 1 day be up to rigours of the top level football
as it would be a shame to see their talents go to waste

So maybe we look to appoint Dr Frankenstein to the medical team and hope there are enough bits still working between the two of them to make a functional right back

I’m not sure Ramsay is going to make it here as he missed too much football at a formative stage, and now (if I have this right) he would hold one of the foreign spots in the squad, and probably is not worth it to us at that point.

Bradley is further along and has shown his worth more, so we are right to persevere with him and see if he can overcome the injuries and solve our right back position long term.

In the meantime it feels like it will be Frimpong, or maybe an academy promotion, or more likely, a new signing. And if we don’t sign a dedicated right back, then at least sign a central defender who can also play at right back, while the question marks around the position for the longer term are resolved.

Felt uncomfortable hearing that awkward exchange between the greetings from the social media person responding to Gakpo asking ā€œgood summer?ā€, as it’s known that Cody lost his unborn child.

It’s politeness but needs a bit more thoughts sometimes (from the social media person).

ā€œWhen we play games with three or four teams he calls it ā€˜consequences’ and the losing team and the team that finishes second has to run. How much you have to run depends on what he decides in that moment, but there is always runningā€¦ā€
