To be fair, although he has been ****** amazing at times this season and has made some fantastic saves (Both in that match and all season), that header was pretty awful (Not that I am saying it was an easy save, but he should of put it nearer a corner).
I doubt he'll keep this form for the whole season, to be honest.
People have been saying that since those Champions League qualifiers. Still going strong.
That's true, but can you honestly expect him to keep up this form for the whole season? Maybe half a season, but a whole season? If he manages to keep this up, he's basically as good as Messi.
Yes? He works harder than any other player on pitch every game. Covers most ground, usually most tackles etc. Also the way Giroud plays allows our midfielders to charge forward as especially evidenced by Ramsey's first and then Flamini's goal yesterday.
Some will keep saying this is a purple patch, but aswell this could be the new norm. We will see.
I doubt that, all of a sudden, a formerly average player can suddenly be transformed into one of the best players in the world. Because on his current form, that's exactly what he is.
These form arguments are irritating, to say the least.
Form is basically focus, confidence and belief - but you need to have actual technique and ability to be able to get in the right positions, to see the chances and to have the ability to take them. Ramsey is well on the way to beating Lampard's all-time record for goals scored from open play as a CM, so if/when he beats that, if his form drops, he's still going to be an average player, right?

I don't doubt for one minute that Ramsey's not a good player with good technique, but he's playing well above average (for him) at the moment.
Who says he was average? Says it all when Cesc left he said Aaron was the next player he thought would really break through. Took bit longer for him to find his confidence, but now he has that again.
Perhaps average was a bit harsh, but he definitely wasn't anywhere near his current 'level'.
Well he's more fitter now than last season, but aside from stats which came from that ( tackles, challenges, covered ground etc ) only real difference is that he's taking his chances and that's purely down to confidence.
And what happens once he loses that confidence then, eh?
Once? Why should that happen?
Confidence comes and goes for every player, even for the likes of Rooney and Gerrard...
