You must really hate winning.
And our win record in all competitions with Cazorla in the starting line-up -
Whether he can return and still reach the same high standards still remains to be seen, but this sideway passing malarkey needs to end if you want to be taken seriously.

At best he is backup for Ozil at CAM or Ramsey at CM against mid table sides.

His lack of consistency also makes him a liability and he is second rate every Arsenal fan knows that. Even though he plays with Sanchez and Ozil he has never been anywhere near their calibre.
Let's not make players a distraction from the real issue though, Wenger wouldn't win the PL with Real's front line it's as simple as that. Blaming the players is a sideshow in a circus. Wenger has consistently failed to beat teams with far inferior players, therefore clearly, the players are not the issue. First we have to cut off the head of the snake before running our players out of town.

I'll exclude City considering it was the game plan. Chelsea away, 'Pool away, Spurs home and away, United home and away, Monaco at home - all these games we didn't control the middle as much as we're reputed to. We boss the smaller clubs, but gone are the days when we actually dictate the tempo in big games.
We can't control the tempo like the good 'ol days...coz none of the players have the physicality to do it.
Back in the good 'ol days....we had the likes of Paddy Vieira,Petit and G.Silva all of 'em over 6 feet tall... not afraid to play dirty and bully opposing midfields
Now we have midgets like Arteta,Cazorla and Ramsey and you think we can dominate the midfield with them?

I think he is a bit overrated. A CM/AM that only got 1 goal from open play in 42 games? We can do so much better!
He also take a lot of wrong decision cause he allways takes som few extra touches on the ball. Yes, it looks nice when he takes a double piruette between two players, but it isnt effective, and the man don't know how to shoot. Sell him, and bring in Reus.
Øzil is much better than Cazorla btw.

lol
i usually prefer the better players tbh
Matter of taste.
I prefer Rosicky's uptempo, energetic style of play which sees him push us forward as quickly as possible. With him everything is frenetic and sharp, none of that pass, pass, pass lemme pass again bullshit. We don't have anyone in our squad like him.
Unfortunately Wenger is intent on continuing with our faux tiki-taka so Rosicky doesn't get much playing time as his style is the antithesis of Wenger's ultimate square passing vision.
