cazorla as a wide player?

[Master Splinter]

If we have all our midfielders fit (), it wouldn't be a bad option, especially against 10-man defences where some guile would come in useful. Cazorla has played for Malaga/Villareal there and for Spain too, so it's not alien to him and would certainly not be a case of Wenger playing a player in a 'wrong' position. He's playing more in a wrong position now. In the big games, having players like Wilshere, Diaby, Cazorla and Rosicky in the same team allows us to dominate the midfield too (like Ramsey allowed us to against Man City).

Arteta/Wilshere/Cazorla is obviously the most gifted and trusted midfield. But Diaby, Rosicky (when fit), Oxlade-Chamberlain, Coquelin and even Ramsey on a good day are players who should theoretically give us options. Wenger's inflexibility is one of the things he's criticised most for, so if he did decide to rotate some players on the basis of what challenge the opposition is posing, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
