@ Berth:
Am pretty sure the education of Wilshere through Wenger & Capello is to give him defensive grounding before moving him higher up the pitch.

Cesc started very deep, went to the middle and is now at the top of the midfield and I think Jack will follow a similar pattern.

Good response Dev. And am not the type that go harsh on a real talent. My point though is that a talent should be harnesed at areas of strength and not weekness.

@ Thierry Bergkamp-Wright:
Good news is that Sagna has come through unscathed. He is fit and will surely play on Saturday considering he is suspended on Weds!

@ Berth:
I think you’re being harsh on Wilshere – he is a real talent and his passing range and vision was excellent yesterday. He had to play so deep and in the words of Capello “play as a centre back”…

I think Jack will be the heir to the midfield when Lampard / Gerrard leave and will play much higher up the pitch.

@ Josiah:
Indeed Djourou is fine now (Thank God!)…
He is back for Saturday’s game and if rested on Sat will definitely feature on Weds.

@ goonerman:
I saw the comparisons too – Erikson is 18 and Jack is 19, they play in similar roles for their clubs, so there would obviously be a comparison!

As you said, Jack was playing a DM role when he is an AM, and it was his first start for England.

I wouldn’t worry what you read in the papers – Jack is an incredible talent, and TBH, we are lucky to have him at the club!
