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?

Ramsey is astonishing But Rosicky must have the plenty time of playing as we need wins,Ramsey can fit in the FA cup team to improve and develop…
Rosicky gets marked out of games by good midfielders
–no-one can outplay Ramsey– he runs them to death. Look at the Opta stats! He ought to be tired- he does the work other midfielders should do! Last week they got their fingers out. About time!
ARSHAVIN ,,… Simples!!!!
rambo on the bench and Rosicky is man to play,Gibbs on the left WING Vermalen and Kosc 4 n 5 and keep the German defender on the bench,CAUSE the black cat do play on the break,we need fast response from our defenders to destroy the counter been played by the black cat.Pls guys do the same to the black cat by beaten then 4 us,we the supporters want victories upon victories.
Ramsey has been trying too hard and so lost his composure;its up to him to regain it. At the moment Rosicky is a better choice and this is a relevant topic of discussion for Arsenal supporters.
Long term though I hope to see Chamberlain there in the attacking midfield role and play Jack for Arteta.
Honestly i prefare the little mozat rite now on that position, nt that rambo is nt a bad player, he is jst tired of playing every week. I think with this resting time he is getting, he can rediscover back is old rambo, bt for now, my no.7 should stick in there. Up gunners
With not much words i think my no7 should carry on with the play cus ramsy gets the ball track 2 his romatic foot 2much nd don’t pass on time.do hes a future player 4 d gooners…thank u
i think rosicky is the best mildfilder we need for the rest of this season because he’s in a very perfect form to move the attacks in the box 18. He’s very fast, he has accuracy and he is not selfish. But as for ramsy, i think he still need to learn how to play with his team mates so that they can play as a team.
1st of all–i cngratulate the writer fr zis gr8 piece of writing…I’m personally a big fan of TR7 bt as an arsenal fan,,we shud support all players bcos they r dfending our team’s honour,,and that is itself a very big thing…i wud suggest let rosicky play n later in 2-3 years,,,we’ll have our YOUNG KILLING ROSICKY in ramsey..love arsenal
Rosy is better than Rambo in every department he always plays the rite ball and can defend way better than Rambo but the squad needs to be rotated due to the Milan game so we just wait see how it goes
