In any case, that midfield will not be seen often as the season progresses.
Cazorla and Arteta are already spent. Jack will have to be in and out to manage his comeback.
They will all play, but expect to see a fair amount of Ramsey, Coquelin and others starting.
Don't know about starting, but hope the german Rosicky will give them some minutes rest.
I agree with Ricky this is all overly pessimistic, and that with Jack back in the rhythm we'll have much better tools to deal with Art's isolation, getting out of our half (and consequently, letting Santi play his game).
Just a bit of patience. With the nervousness around, really easy to forget Jack has only just returned from a year and a half out (and he's only played one year before that). Even the way things are we're in the positive scenario (think back to his return: some thought we're not even going to see him contribute significantly this year. That's just a month or so ago!)
