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?

rosicky is better dan ramsey in dat midfield.look at last match wenger start with rosicky we won.last time wenger play ramsey we lost and we drow.pls help me tell wenger he should be using rosicky insteld of ramsey.tell him dis too he should be using chamberlain 4 85 min.
Ramsey shifts a load of work but lacks the subtlety needed. He does not have the ‘ vision ‘ as yet to play the best ball. And if he does, frankly, his execution is too crude.
Rosicky should continue in that position.Ramsy is not arsenal type of player.
Ramsey is better in a more defensive role. Pretty much the same one as Arteta. The attacking midfield spot behind RVP should be held by Rosicky, Arshavin and Eisfeld. Arteta, Song, Ramsey and Coquelin are the more conservative, holding midfielders with Benayoun pretty much able to fill in wherever we need him to.
To me payer like ramesy sould be on bench 4 arsenal fc, or he sould be besaid rocisky b/coz no aqurat pasing no goal sence
rosicky is the player we need.he has the quick passing game which arsenal has been lacking in breaking down their oponents.without the quick attacking game then our passes are being read hence no scoring.
I agree with view that we play whoever is in form. Right now the team have no leeway for any member below their best? Which does put Coquelin ahead of Ramsey too, although his availability will depend on Sagna starting, and/or Vermaelin staying at left back.
Unless there is a fitness doubt with Rosicky, he is first choice for me. I think it will be the same starting line as last time, except Sagna at left back and TV with Kos in the middle.
Subs for AOC could see Le Coq move into midfield,Sagna switching to make way for Gibbs return? Ramsey or Arshavin could be next if you want to work either back in form, but for me, you stick with the winning team until it needs changing.
Rest AOC when Gervinho gets back and keep the momentum going that we got from Blackburn. If we can score early I think Sunderland will feel the effects of last night. But they do have a serious threat with pace if the do recover. this will be tougher.
Rosisck is more direct on the attacking and defending side he help out the strikers by hold on the ball he don’t play back he always go forword that means we put pressure on the other teem and lass pressure on our diffence I know what wenger like about him it is the ability of holding postion what he did’t c is when he hold position the ball gose on our half than on the other teem half. He prefer going back than going forward. But Rosicky is the man player that help is out on the win with blackburn so I like him better I think he should start more games than him
For me i prefer rocisky in dt position, ramsey doe s’nt hav pace let him sit down on d bench and learn from rocisky
When Gervinho comes back, The OX should be moved to that position. Arshavin is another option, but it seems Arsenal is determined to get rid of him.
Exactly!!!
Ox himself says he wants to play midfield.
well said! give any of ROSICKY, BENAYOUN, ARSHAVIN over the young lad as of now. it is better he learns from these seasoned individuals on the field of play. i imagine the RUSSIAN directly behind RVP plus THEO and OX on the wings
