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?

well I think Rosicky should start. He has been in good form recently and i think Ramsey needs some rest.
i think rosisky is more mature and his passing is incredible.just watch the pass to walcott that set up ox first goal..amazing..but for saturdays game,i fink ramsey should start..
I think its possible Ramsey’s best position is a little deeper, more like the Arteta role, whereas I think Rosicky can handle either. Rosicky is by no means the worlds best creative attacking midfielder, but we dont have anyone better at the club right now, plus Ramsey looked shattered to me. The only other possible is The Ox, but I would say right now he looks like a winger, but I could be wrong.
Rosicky is the better option at the moment….playing consistantly well & a fantastic work rate. Aaron looks slow both in decision making & pace. Having to improve his game to win back his place is no bad thing. He may become a very good player but could equally become Denilson Mk 2.
i prefer rosicky because ramsey is playing standard for now.
That’s actually the role Arshavin should play. That’s where he should have played or not at all.
Have to agree and Andre should be given the chance to prove himself with Rosicky on one side and Arteta on the other behind Ox-Chamberlain, RVP and Walcott.
Qambo really just like Ricky7 has good movement n
adds speed 2 our game n need games 2 get good for 2morow as u seh.as 4 saturday id go wit rambo so rosi7ky can star at milan
Ramsey slows down our attack
Rosicky is better than ramsey…..faster and skillfull, I think rosicky suits that role. Ramsey is more of a defensive midfielder…….so rosicky should start in that role as we wait-on young Jack’s return.
Rosicky is better at turning ahead and pushing the offence, whereas Ramsey works harder and covers more ground. Rosicky, I don’t feel is capable of playing twice a week right now, so I’d save him for the more important games and the ones against difficult defensive opponents. Ramsey will still get an ample amount of playing time. If Wilshere or Diaby ever return it will be interesting to see how the midfield changes.
Well done..this goes out to [little mozart], i think rambo should be rested..he lacks focus,he should sit on the bench and learn what a creative no 10 does.so r7 is the best option.
