Cazorla is not more creative than Ozil and he is not as good in possesion. He is not as calm or clinical. Ozil oozes class and is an experienced winner. Though it is good to have both options. Problem is Wenger will never use one or the other in the number ten role. For me Ozil just nudges it for me.
Again you are looking at the Ozil of Madrid.
Yes Wenger plays him out wide but Cazorla is also shunted out wide so Wenger can get his boys Wilshere and Ramsey centrally and he does a far better job than Ozil there also
Cazorla is a wonderful player and probably our 4th best. The problem is the 3 better? are the 3 behind the striker (Alexis, Ozil and Theo) leaving it hard to fit santi in in a magical scenario where everyones fit.
Ozil's time for us can be split equally 3 way. On form, off it and injured. The latter two being more recent. Ozils best game for Arsenal was better than Santis best, but there have been fewer of them.

________Shezza__________
Debuchy - Per - Kosc - Gibbs
_______Ramsey - Arteta_______
Walcott - Cazorla - Sanchez
________Giroud___________
The midfield might have a desperate lack of serious height, but could keep and run with the ball all day.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You nailed it with this lineup, but the defensive midfield has to be varied when on tough away games with double cover (Coq and Arteta)
Also between the Ox and Walcott I would go with the Ox
I don't understand people who have made thier minds up out Wenger out when we have haven't had a full strength team for nearly two years. Most of the teams speculated in this thread would be at least ten points better off this season imo. So many options and so much talent.
Laughable as the notion of having an un-injured squad is, surely a proper judgement can only be made when that occurs. Chelsea have been lauded this season but they have barely had one injury to their first team
Back five picks itself
I would go
Santi arteta
Theo ozil alexis
Giroud
Although for balance/retention I would go
Ramsey arteta
Theo/Sanchez santi ozil
Giroud
Giroud and Welbz interchange depending on the team and tactics.
