Arteta has to sit deeper than Song in our formation because it appears that Wenger likes Song to win the ball high up the field, or at least pressure the ball carrier up the field. When Song does win the ball up the field, (a la the Norwich game away this season) we have fast break opportunities we otherwise wouldn't have. Having Arteta sit deeper also allows him to read the game and make key interceptions and tackles (a la the Man City game home this season). I wouldn't prefer him playing that high up the field to be honest, as Arteta has become immense to our ability to build attacks and dictate our play.

This. And it sure as hell showed in the games he missed.

That's why I don't see Arteta playing anything higher than middle of the park.
Wilshere I thought was a box to box, not a true out and out AM?
Rosicky made strides but he still isn't the best at actually shooting on target or that final accurate assist in the final 3rd. Plus his health is always a concern. I'm not a big enough fan of Ramsey to keep giving him chances at AM, but at least that's better than having him play wide in respect to who we would have to sit.
I wouldn't mind Ox playing AM, I feel he needs to get a good amount of minutes, plus he loves to press forward and attack. Dribble players, take shots from distance, he's just threatening.
