Country: Wales
I never said Ledley controlled a midfield by himself. Ledley AND Allen do an awful lot of work to allow Ramsey to play the way he enjoys. Its Allen to whom control mostly falls.When Allen went off injured in that match,Ramsey had to curb his style. Wales failed from that moment and for once the fans weren't fooled. Incidentally, Hoddle was talking about Alli and said he's not the type to control a midfield and he needs to keep the ball better if he wants to move to a top club. The same is true of Ramsey tbh.
In any case, I'm glad I made you laugh
Except we weren't fooled though? The truth is Allen is one of the only midfielders we have apart from Ramsey who's Premier League standard.
Ramsey and Bale have carried our side for almost two years. The disparancy between them and the rest of our players is huge.
Incidentally we were exposed last summer when Ramsey missed the Portugal game. This notion that he runs around doing what he wants is ridiculous. He links defence to attack and is or chief creative option as well as getting involved in all phases of play.
Expecting Ramsey to carry our side singlehandedly to the World Cup is ignoring the wider context.
