I don't like how you frisco talked about Wilshere.What I've come to realize is that we always seem not to criticize some players.Let me give you examples.They are: Monreal, Cazorla, Ozil etc. I've watched several matches where Cazorls has not been efficient and at Arsenal lack of efficiency from players and inconsistency is the norm of the day for this club.Wilshere has not yet fulfilled his potential but the guy I admire him for his fighting spirit and he always shows signs of the old Wilshere when he gets a run of games.I expect Wilshere to be better than Ozil and Cazorla when fulfills his potential.When you watch him when he was 16 and compare to other players at the same age who are now stars he was far far better.The guy's potential is really really huge and of there's anyone Arsene must persist with then it's Jack Wilshere.He should play this week in my opinion because he looked good when he came on and we can't keeo that momentum on the vench.Arsenal fans are too interested in one player being better than the other to start.Okay well if you want me to say it like how it is then i'll say it.Ozil and Cazorla are much better than Jack Wilshere but in terms of potential Wilshere was more blessed than them.
