The man I like to call “Mr. consistency,” Tomas Rosicky is having a torrid time living up to that title this season through no fault of his own. He seems to have fallen out of favour with Wenger which is strange since he was one of Wenger’s go to men off the bench last year and for many years before.

He was one of the first names on the team sheet when it was time to rotate and often got a place in the starting XI for big matches due to his experience and productivity in big games. He is always up for the occasion and it is a wonder as to what is going wrong for him this season. Why is our “little mozart” finding game time so hard to come by this season?

I can’t quite put my finger on it at the moment to be truthful. It is easy to say that Rosicky is a year older and is finding the pace more difficult to cope with, but he hasn’t been a starter for some years now so that doesn’t quite tell the story I’m afraid. Even if he indeed has lost a step, that is no reason for him to not see the pitch at all.

Even more strange is Arsenal’s current form and injury woes. With several players either injured or out of form, one would think Rosicky would be given his run of match time. With Ozil’s injury and poor form as well as Cazorla’s less than stellar form at the moment, Rosicky would be the natural successor to step in, and something tells me if this was the same time last year he would be.

So what has changed? It’s difficult to ascertain exactly. I feel for Rosicky and you never want to see a player frozen out of the picture. Especially one so deer to our hearts as fans and more importantly one so talented. He is not called the little mozart for no reason; the man can pick a pass and orchestrate in the middle of the park like very few in this world and I really hope to see him back on the pitch soon.
