Rather like Aston Villa, swashbuckling their way into a 3-1 lead before dipping away to allow Leeds to battle back for a draw, Steven Gerrard built up Jacob Ramsey’s candidature for an England call-up before asking us all to stay calm and let him develop.
Ramsey’s two goals, made by Philippe Coutinho who scored Villa’s first, capped a superb performance from the Birmingham-born midfielder who turns 21 in May and Gerrard was more glowing in his praise of his creative talents than he was critical of a defence that Leeds exposed too readily.
