Aaron Ramsey has admitted he has not been at his best for Arsenal so far this season. Speaking to reporters in Wales while away with the national team, Ramsey says he is still recovering from a few early knocks and will soon be back to his best.

“I’ve had a few injuries this season and I’m just getting back” he said.

“To be honest, I’m still not 100 per cent physically there and it does take a bit out of me.”

“It will take me a few more games to be back to my best and I’m not worried. Certain criticism from people is unfair.”

He may have been referring to Charlie Nicholas’ claims that he is too concerned with “Hollywood football” alluding to selfish pursuits in front of goal.

Those comments are a bit unfair, and I think Ramsey should be given some leeway given his injury problems. The season is still young and this is no time to panic. He has been a shadow of his form last year that’s for sure, but then again so has the entire team at this point and Ramsey will soon find his form again.

I haven’t seen him bursting forward as much and that is probably due to his lack of full fitness. Once his engine returns, his form will too I have no doubt. Wenger has been playing him sparingly recently as well so Ramsey is correct about not being 100 percent.

Good on him to acknowledge this, and worry not, he will soon be back. As will Arsenal.
