Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has suggested his midfielder Aaron
Ramsey is focusing too much of his attention on scoring goals after his
indifferent start to the season.
Ramsey was the Gunners star performer last season and end the
campaign on the real high as he fired the winning goal in the FA Cup
final against Hull at Wembley in May, but Wenger has claimed he needs to
get back to basics as he looks to cement his place in an Arsenal
midfielder oozing with attacking talent.
Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil, Jack Wilshere, Santi Cazorla and Mikel
Arteta are all pushing for a starting spot in the Arsenal midfield, with
Ramsey being encouraged by his manager to appreciate his role in the
team.
"You always have to come back to basics," Wenger told reporters when
asked about Ramsey's indifferent form this season. "What is my job?
Midfielder, win the ball and give a good pass.
"I believe sometimes he felt a bit more pressure to score. He is a
[Frank] Lampard type and when you watch the picture again, who is in the
box? Oh, my friend Aaron is there, but he has to start from midfield.
"He has a terrific engine and on the pitch he never hides, so when he
sometimes makes a mistake it is [noticeable], but if you look at his
overall contribution to the team, it is always fantastic.
"After that, with his natural engine, a consequence of that is he
will have chances. If you play like [you believe that you] have to
score, every time you want to be in the box you forget a little bit of
the basics of the job, but he is back now.
"He had a little moment when he was not at his best but that can happen. I am fully confident that he is back."
