One of the most bizzare assists imo
Just shoot...
After the replay it looks like a pass is what he intended . Hmmmm
Don't tell me I'm still on this feckin island!
I think it was a fantastic decision to pass to Lacazette - Ramsey hitting it first time at close range could easily have been blocked by the keeper. The deft lay down gave Lacazette the chance to control it and pick his spot.
Huge credit to Ramsey - especially for a player who is usually quite selfish when they have any chance of scoring.
Ignore the photo caption writer, Herb. He never intended it, you could tell by the way he looked at Lacazette when the ball went backwards.
I'd also add that any professional footballer in that position who instinctively thinks to lay it back to someone 5 yards behind him rather then controlling it and sticking it away also needs a new hobby.
I think he meant it if only for the reason that otherwise it would have been the level of touch and control of a very average Sunday morning player, and despite whatever views or reservations you have of Ramsey he is not that.
The doubt exists simply because it was him, had it been Ozil or Sanchez or Bergkamp in the distant past there would be no debate.
Well actually there would with Sanchez as he would never have done it.
Wd AR.
