This is a concern, though probably to be expected.
As a result of being a bit "gunshy", I think that next season, we may well see Ramsey in the front attacking midfield trio where he can focus on his short passing and runs into the box, rather than deep central midfield next to Song, where Wilshere will probably continue in a more combative role.

Not tackling head on never stopped Pires from being class however ramseys game isn't the same ,i fear the worse but pray he makes it
