These are just my thoughts on the subject and have felt Wenger have been safe
guarding midfield position for both wilshere and ramsay, when both do not deserve it

midfield position????? Wenger has practically make a joke of ozil (the best playmaker in the world, having highest assists and key passes) by playing him on left wings.
Pedro and Willian would serve as better wingers as we saw in the league last year and Matic is a massive improvement on the Defensive
midfield position compared to Elneny and Coquelin.
