IMO it's the best formation to play to our strengths & cover our weaknesses without compromising the attack or defence. It also allows us to exploit our short pass & move in the attacking 3rd.
But the key is to get the ball to Cesc/Nasri quickly and settle the ball from inside their half & then either look for the runners or work the short pass & move amongst the attackers with movement off & around the ball, and utilise space.
