Song basically knows where to pass and run because hes been playing with Cesc , RVP , Nasri week in week out last time.
Arteta doesn't really combine well with the Arsenal play yet. Guess hes still new but Ramsey is not. I expected a bit more from him as he now hes given the chance to play since Jack is recovering. If jack is back, I rather opt for Arteta compared to Ramsey. Hes soft and yet his creativity and teamwork isnt far better than Arteta.

Mikey's the one that brought balance to our midfield. He liberated Rambo and allowed the latter to play more in a more Cescy way. He took the burden off Song and allowed the latter to bomb forward more often. He keeps the ball moving, he retains possession, he knows when to go forward, he knows when it's best to sit back.
So far, Mikey's probably the best player from our last-minute summer shopping spree.
It'll be a headache when Jack returns. He offers more aggression and drive compared to Mikey, but less composure and of course experience. Maybe Rambo will be the one being sacrificed then, but Rambo has brought Cescy back with his vision and range of passing. However, Jack's playmaking skills are still underdeveloped compared to his other strengths such as tackling, dribbling, and individual attacking ability.
For now, Jack's more Paul Scholes than Zinedine Zidane.
But until Jack is ready, we shouldn't worry about who to sacrifice. In fact, it's better to have a luxury of choices rather than have not enough fit bodies like what we used to face in recent seasons.
