Tomas Rosicky wants extended run in the Arsenal team
Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky is frustrated and as a result, wants an extended run of games in the Arsenal first team.
Rosicky has been suffering from recent injuries and has made only three starts and eight substitute appearances for the club this season. As a result, the Czech play maker has been seemingly replaced by
the likes of Jack Wilshere.
"I would like to play more.
I could imagine playing more even though I have been involved in a lot of fixtures. At the moment I am in the starting XI, then I come on as a substitute and then again in the starting line-up," Rosicky told
iDNES.cz.
Of course, it's frustrating for any professional player when the chances of playing against the best sides in England and Europe are limited.
But Arsenal has been a good side this season, and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will be unlikely to change a winning formula.
"I want to play in the big games; Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City
because in those games I have only come on as a sub.
I must be realistic because the players I replace score goals.
I have not scored in four months, so I can't be that surprised," Rosicky added.
It's clear that the Czech is not very happy at Arsenal right now. But as he has not made it clear that he wants to leave, the emphasis is on Rosicky to change his current
situation. Only he can break into the first team and if he starts to score a few goals, he should stay there.
"At the moment I am half-satisfied. My performances are okay and I am
healthy, but the goals worry me. I have a bad record."
Betting advice
Rosicky is not a bad player by any means. He is just a little unlucky that he is being kept out of the side because of such good players. When he does start to hit his
form, there should be no hesitation to back him to score decisive goals later in the season.
