Aston Villa suffered a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on Saturday afternoon and Jacob Ramsey was one of many players who underperformed. The 20-year-old started alongside John McGinn and Douglas Luiz in midfield but struggled to Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey.
Ramsey failed to create a chance, didn’t see a lot of the ball, was guilty of giving away cheap fouls, failed to make a successful dribble and didn’t have a shot of his own. The England U21 international was withdrawn in the second half and may benefit from a rest in Villa’s next game.
Cole Pettem of 7500 to Holte gave Ramsey a player rating of 4/10 and said he had ‘a day to forget’ at Villa Park. Matt Maher of the Express and Star gave the 20-year-old a player rating of 5/10 and said he endured the ‘toughest afternoon’. Ashley Preece of Birmingham Live gave him a player rating of 4/10 and said he ‘struggled’ to make an impact. Tom Gott of 90min gave Ramsey a player rating of 4/10 and claimed he ‘didn’t offer anything’ against Arsenal.
Ramsey has made 28 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring six goals with one assist. He’s been one of Villa’s top performers in 2021/22 but hasn’t been at his best of late and might need a rest against Wolverhampton Wanderers on April 2.
