Cazorla needs a rest

20 April 2013

The guy has played almost every game for us this season and it showed today. He was sloppy and poor for most of the game.

Wilshere is back, should be raring to go, and although my initial impression from the start of the game today was that Jacky boy had been hogging the ball too much against Norwich / Everton (we were releasing the ball quickly at the start), he showed some genuine touches of class and directness when he comes on.

If our next game wasn't a particularly difficult game I'd rest Cazorla and even as it is, if I had to drop one of Caz, Jack and Rosicky it'd be the Spaniard.

Also, please don't appeal the , AFC.

Cool, my post was tongue-in-cheek anyway although neither had a good game imo.

I agree Caz had a bad game, Wouldn't say Ramsey did, he just wasn't as good as his last 2. He had 149 touches Also 3rd in voting for MOTM last time i checked.

Samir - if he is deployed correctly than him an Santi can play together. However, the way Wenger sets the team up he cripples our potency

I have never said I don't rate him. I just find it staggering how fans overrate him.

I'm sure he will be the star in a few years but if he is going to play that attacker midfield than he needs to do more

Agree, his final ball is awful. he has played #10 jsut about every game he has played. he has only 3 assists.

Cazorla stuck out in my head as being worse, Ramsey was middling, just didn't create anything of note and gave it away more than he has been doing.

Who got MOTM, Per?

If he plays as a deep playmaker then we won't need to talk about his stats but as an attacking midfielder you need to be influencing the finally 3rd

Ramsey has stepped up.

The dude has been played out wide, right back and never in a settled position.
