He's been providing goals and assists, but is being played further forward. I'd prefer he stay in CM at all times.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
How bout that Jack Wilshere though, he's come out of nowhere.
Haven't watched every Arsenal game this season but is it just me or is he looking much more like the laughing stock of two years ago than the (arguably) best CM in the league he was last season? Was absolutely terrible last night.
Long may it continue anyway.

He's being played as a AM more, it seems though he is better as a CM.
Dunno about laughing stock but yeah I haven't been impressed with him either. I dunno whether he was hiding poor performances last season with goals or it's just a recent development, but since I've started focusing on him more he's looked underwhelming. Seems to be a sloppy passer when I had him down as a great one.
I don't think his role in the new system suits him at all. Wenger seems to be jeopardizing the team a little bit just so he can have both Ramsey and Wilshere in the centre and I don't think Wilshere is good enough to go to all that trouble for.

Ramsey
Sanchez
Ozil
Cazorla/Ox
Welbeck
That would look far better than the team they put out last night, IMO. I think it would improve Ramsey's, Ozil's and Welbecks's performances.

Yeah, he seems to be better coming from deep.
I think we should be careful not to draw too many conclusions this early. Especially with some of the matches being as tough as Man City or Dortmund/Everton away.
All-round performances were excellent last season, not sure what's happening to him yet this time. Think it's a mixture of struggling with a new position (infront of Wilshere rather than behind Ozil creating his space), trying to focus on goals/assists rather than the basics/ believing there's too much pressure on him to score our goals, and the misfiring attackers infront of him. Eboue's also right that some patience is needed, his performance in the Charity Shield was phenomenal.
Also, the midfield formation's been changed this season to fit Wilshere into the side and make us 'more solid' in the big games. Not convinced it's a good move yet.
All our techno midgets and midfield extraordinaires have been playing like drunks. Our possession has been well below the standard.
Wenger seems to want Ramsey to play the role Gerrard played at Liverpool when Torres was there, and so far it's not really suiting him and has made Ozil even more invisible by shunting him left.
He's reverted back to shit this season. Not sure why as he was tearing up the PL/CL just 12 months ago.
He's struggling again having started the season relatively well.
Just getting back from injury though, isn't he? Looks far from his best atm...
Our midfield is completely disjointed, it's like they'd never played together.
Just the two league goals so far this season. Does seem like last season's goalscoring exploits might just have been one of those seasons that players have where everything they touch turns to gold (A bit like that season where Rooney seemed to score a ridiculous amount of headers), rather then it being something he's permanently added to his game.
Not at all, last season the system and set up suited him perfectly. Well it suited most of our players. This current system is frankly a fecking joke, gets the best out of nobody and all our players are suffering as result. Ramsey in particular and now he looks hopelessly out of form.
So disappointing that he let the form get to his head. He Touré and Gerrard have taken massive hits to their form.
At least he has time on his side, unlike the other two. I think it's just a slump in form, unlike the other two who are declining at a rapid rate.
We don't know if that's the case. It's far more likely that the Arsenal set up this season, coupled with his injury, are the reasons that he hasn't hit last seasons form.
Doesn't seem to be very impactful at all this season. Has a couple of nice touches in games but nothing particularly noteworthy or effective. He was a joy to watch last season even as a 'rival' player. I wonder if he will get back to that.
He's muddled in the head and unfit. He'll be fine once he get back to full fitness.
Injuries have really hampered him.
He's always struck e to have a bit of an ego, then again thats not always a bad thing in football
He has looked on the way back in the last couple of games. Still giving the ball away stupidly though.
I don't buy it myself but I saw it suggested on a blog over the weekend that last year's form was him playing out of his skin to a level he's never going to consistently reach. Personally I'd say it's more that he's been moved within the system which made him so successful, not to mention he's been in a quite inconsistent side. I reckon he'll be fine.
I think he can be brilliant if he went back to his normal way of playing, plays way too selfishly now.
Really thought he'd push on and become truly world class this season. It's not looking at all likely at the moment.
I think totally the same. He has scored so many goals last season.....it looks like he wants to force goals....he tries too hard in the wrong moments.
He's a very good player and can make up the step to a great player if he plays his "normal game" again.
