All well and good, but fans shouldn't complain when he starts running on an empty at a crucial stage in the season. We've seen it happen to the likes of Fabregas before. Besides, there are 2 other reasons why I believe we shouldn't start him against Dortmund.
Fabregas never had a decent engine on him for a CM. Ramsey could out run him any day any time. Aaron's fitness levels have always been remarkable. I think we saw it first when a couple of years ago when we beat Chelsea 3-5, if replay the end of that game, you'll see Ramsey sprinting forward full pelt in the 95th minute, after giving a monumental shift in the 90 mins. Cesc had and has many qualities but that wasn't one. We should be careful not to overplay him and I wouldn't have started him in the league cup but I'm not overly worried about him running out of steam. That's the main advantage he has over everyone else.
