he has played centrally in the Russian national team, and he was also played centrally at his former club Zenit. In the recently concluded League Cup match against Coventry, Arshavin was deployed in a central role, and perhaps unsurprisingly he performed well. Now with Cazorla being deployed in the center attacking midfielder role, Arshavin won't get a look in that position till the Spaniard remains fit. But what if Cazorla is injured, who will be his replacement in the team? Tomas Rosicky would have been Wenger's first choice to replace Cazorla, but he is yet to gain his full fitness. Wilshere and Ramsey can play in that position, but they are more effective in a deeper role. So all might not yet be lost for Arshavin. He will have to wait for his opportunity, but it is also important that Wenger deploys him in the position which optimizes his ability and maybe the beloved Russian can wind back the clock once again.
