I was a bit worried that we'd actually rely on him but Rosicky's fine as a squad player.
The thing is that Rosicky was NOT 'fine' as a squad player. He was quite poor actually. It wasn't until he was given a run in the team as a STARTER that he actually started putting in better than average performances. Even during that run, where he was pretty good IMO, he failed to score or assist enough for the position he played.
That was at a point in time when he was not a good player full stop. Mostly because he didn't have a position in the first team, until last season Rosicky was never a CAM.
The way I see it is that Rosicky is behind Cazorla(?), Wilshere and has to slug it out with Diaby, Ramsey and possibly even AOC for one spot in midfield. He's about as good a player as you can get to fill that role in the squad.
Of course if he starts on the wings ever again I'm going to kill a kitten.
