Well it was always going to crop up, especially after the Blackburn game where Aaron Ramsey was rested and Tomas Rosicky stepped into his role.
Currently, it appears that the Czech midfielder is playing better than the Welshman. Now this could be because Ramsey was tired, slightly injured or overworked. In any case, we’re going to throw it out there and ask the question – who do you think should start in that Cesc Fabregas role behind Robin van Persie.
In my opinion, Ramsey needs time to develop. He has been playing well for us, but has been slated by a few Arsenal fans as of late, which may have caused him to lose focus in recent games. Rosicky has stepped into his position and, for me, has looked more comfortable and assured in the attacking midfield role
I do rate both players highly and there is no doubt that the Welsh international will become a fantastic player for the club, but for whatever reason it is currently not happening for the 20-year-old – it could be the pressure, it could even be a hangover from what happened with Gary Speed and the Wales team. Nobody knows, but something isn’t right with him.
I’m not sure how to bring back the old Rambo, whether it will just take time or if playing him through it would be the best course of action, all I know is that we bossed the midfield against Blackburn and that we seem to play better as a team when Rosicky plays.
Ramsey looks like the long-term option for me. However, currently I just see Rosicky bringing more stability and creativity to the side and that can only be a good thing. So for the moment I’d stick Rosicky over Ramsey, as I feel the youngster needs a few games off to get back his sharpness and recharge his batteries.
So who do you think should start in attacking midfield role – Rosicky or Ramsey?

What i “ve to say is rosky.ho the man is best at the rol . He can tech so many balls in a minute and he can asist to goal…..but aron have losing vison .he cant going to fait some times he sleepd at the ground ..,so rosky shold have start so far.
Rosicky or Arshavin should play in that position, Ramsey’s decision making is too poor. If i may digress alittle, Arsene wenger could be blame for Arshavin’s poor display on the pitch, ask me why at my twitter handle@ zoldima
Gunners for life.
ROsicky should play in place of ramsey. Ramsey still has alot to learn.
it’s not about who you like it’s football and the ultimate goal is for us to win games, so to that we need to play the player that at this moment is in better form playing that position. I think i will have to go with rosicky.
After watching Ox last game, I really am starting to believe he should play midfielder (the position he says he wants to play). I can just see it with him occasionally flipping in and out with both Gervinho and Walcott on top of Walcott and Gervinho switching sides. Not to mention he is defensively responsible. Now all they would need is a premier passing midfielder and we are set.
And of course Ramsey loses out!!!!
