Agree with mostly everyone here, Ramsey looks like an excellent player. Will ease the pain for Arsenal tactically and emotionally when Cesc leaves this summer
Bit unfortunate yet predictable to see West Ham eventually lose. They were putting in a huge physical effort and doing a good job of shutting down Arsenal's play...yet they got more and more nervous in the 2nd half, playing too deep as the commentator said.
If they had someone better and more decisive (probably more experienced) than Nouble up front, it could have been over by the 60th minute. When he had a shooting chance, he'd dither on the ball. When he had a passing chance, he'd dither on the ball. When he had a chance to run/dribble...yep, he'd dither on the ball.
Diamanti looks excellent though.
West Ham need to get some new owners in that can provide some funds to Zola and support him...this short-passing-with-lots-of-movement style that he's implemented will be very successful with some better players. It's just a matter of time before a bigger club comes in for him.
