I can't really answer that. What's the point in speculating? We're in the here and now. You won't find me putting up much of a fight when it comes to Wenger. I've lost a lot of respect for his ability and have zero faith in him. But I don't think the players are as shackled to a philosophy as we assume. Look how Elneny is playing as CM and contrast that with what Ramsey's been doing. How comes it's so damn drastic? How comes they function so damn differently but are supposed to be playing the same role? Why is it that Cazorla is able to step into that role and adjust his game to sit deeper and not always look to be in the final third/box but Ramsey can't? Now that Elneny has arrived, how comes he knows what that role requires but Ramsey doesn't? I blame the manager for not slapping Ramsey and not correcting him but where is the self analysis from Ramsey? It really does piss me off.
