Arsene Wenger believes that Aaron Ramsey will soon hit peak form again after going back to basics.
The Arsenal manager has been pleased with the 23-year-old’s contribution, but feels that he may have felt under pressure to score following his sensational season in 2013/14.
Ramsey has been on target three times this term, and Wenger is sure that more goals will flow over the coming months.
"He is a Lampard type and when you watch the picture again, who is in the box? Oh, my friend Aaron is there"

“He is back now,” the boss said. “He had a little moment when he was not at his best but that can happen. I am fully confident that he is back.
“He always wants to play. He has a terrific engine and on the pitch he never hides, so when he sometimes makes a mistake it is [noticeable] - but if you look at his overall contribution to the team, it is always fantastic.
“Yes sometimes [he may have been trying too hard]. I believe he felt a bit more pressure to score. You always have to come back to basics. What is my job? Midfielder, win the ball and give a good pass.
“After that, with his natural engine, a consequence of that is he will have chances. But if you play like [you believe that you] have to score, every time you want to be in the box you forget a little bit of the basics of the job.
“He is a Lampard type and when you watch the picture again, who is in the box? Oh, my friend Aaron is there - but he has to start from midfield.”
