Angry & Miserable
You are correct. He should have idolised the Spanish playmakers instead of the idiotic British rough and tumble.He was good on the technical side. The loan to Bolton destroyed his career.
He learned to get tough in Bolton, instead of getting more clever on the ball.
He starts to admire the Gerrard hardworking physical type of player, instead of the Xavi/Pirlo technically gifted/super intelligent/extremely talented/flair type of player.
Since then, he stops developing in his football iq/technical play. He brings more and more physical side into his game. And his technical side is getting worse and worse.
Ramsey has the exact same problem. Ramsey before the injury has the potential to develop into a intelligent type of player who controls the midfield. After the injury, he decided to abandoned all his technical side of the game.
