re: Arsenal 2014/15 Season Long Thread

A good look at Santi's play from deeper this year and why he might be our best option just in front of Le Coq.

Instead, Cazorla has offered something the side just didn’t have. Wenger, two weeks ago, praised the Spaniard’s recent transformation into the purest of central midfielders.

“For us, it was quite positive,” the Arsenal manager said. “He looked to find a new role and he is a team player, he works hard, has a good balance between attacking and defender. He is a better defender than people think he is. He loves to do the job for the team.”

That is actually putting it mildly. If Cazorla’s nine games in central midfield are enough to go by, he balances all the main demands of the position far better than basically any of the rest at Wenger’s disposal.

Also, Jack set for the bench this weekend. Will be good to see him play alongside Coq, who he has lots of experience playing with.
