Your support makes all the difference.Steven Gerrard has given Aaron Ramsey his highest praise, calling the Arsenal man "the best attacking midfielder in the Premier League". Ramsey has since tweeted that he was honoured to hear Gerrard's compliments.
The former Liverpool captain was speaking as a pundit for BT Sport last night during Arsenal's 3-0 win over Olympiakos, which sent the Gunners through to the Champions League Last-16.
In that game, Ramsey was back playing in his favoured central position, not on the wing. Gerrard says that Ramsey must continue playing centrally, as he is at his most effective.
"I don't think he'll be happy himself playing out wide because he hasn't got the legs - his qualities are all in the middle," Gerrard said.
"For me, when he's in that form, he's the best attacking midfielder in the Premier League.
"You should play your best players where they want to be and I'm sure that'd be in the middle."
