Believe it or not, there was an Arsenal blog yesterday criticizing Ramsey for "carrying the ball forward and trying to make killer passes, when the simple option of a sideways pass was available!!"
Aaaaarrghhh!! It is that perpetual sideways and backwards passing (the simple option) that drives me nuts! We take so long to build an attack, that all the opposition players have had time to trot back into defence, get themselves organized and block off any chance we might have had of scoring. All credit to any players who are prepared to take responsibility for penetrating into the penalty box. That is exactly what we need to start creating again.
I 100% agree with you.

Well done Mr. Ramsey. You certainly have my vote.
