 Jack Wilshere has suddenly become spinal

By Myles Palmer

 

Jack Wilshere is one of  Arsenal's key players.

It's happened quite suddenly.

We now understand why Owen Coyle was so keen to extend his loan at Bolton.

On what we've seen recently, I'm prepared to believe that story about what Wenger allegedly said to Danny Fiszman three years ago : "He's better than Fabregas at the same age."

An instinctive and cunning footballer, Jack Wilshere is still learning, still doing a few things in his own penalty area that he shouldn't do, and it's important to protect him from burn-out.

But the Arsenal team has now reached a point where, as I see it, if Fabregas doesn't play, Wilshere has to.

What Wilshere brings to the team is more important than the fact that, at 18, he isArsenal's least experienced player.

He was always going to be crucial in Belgrade, and that's why Wenger rested him for the West Brom game.

When Arsenal were 2-0 down, he brought Jack on, West Brom scored again, Arsenal got two goals back, then got on a plane to Belgrade, where Jack played an anchor role in a 3-1 victory.

Suddenly, the teenager has become spinal, along with Vermaelen and Fabregas. The team should be built round four players, those three plus the goalkeeper that Wenger didn't buy. At least one piece of Arsenal's spine is still missing.

In general, I don't pay much attention to what footballers say, but I always read Fabregas. Two years ago I was slightly dubious when Fabregas said the 16-year-old from Stevenage did not need his advice.

In September 2008, Fab4 said, "I do not think Jack needs any advice because his family are taking care of him and his head is in the right place. If it went the other way and you could see things were not going right, then maybe you could say something to him, but we are not worried about Jack because he has got the qualities and the head to do it."

I'm now beginning to see why Fabregas said that. When is the captain coming back ?

Last night I saw a film about an inspiring musician.

C’mon free man, I’m sure Little Bee will come visit soon.

 

Nasri has also been tasked to do Cesc’s job in his absence.

 

Sometimes Nasri does brilliantly and sometimes he disappears.

 

I am not sure how I would describe Nasri’s behaviour and performance.  He is a talent, I am sure, but he does fluctuate, and if you ask me I will not give him the captain armband.

 

Jack Wilshire has a brilliant football mind and he has huge potential, but he seems to love the night life, so …

Wilshere and Szczesny give Arsenal far more authority and guts

By Myles Palmer

Arsenal 2 Barcelona 1

Villa 26, Van Persie 78, Arshavin 83

____________________________

The key player in the Nou Camp will be Szczesny.

So pray that nothing happens to Arsenal’s goalkeeper between now and Tuesday, March 8th.

Barcelona’s style is cleverly-timed runs onto sharp little passes, which c reates a lot of one-on-one chances with the keeper.

Wojciech Szczesny’s fine positional judgement makes him a master of making opponents shoot into the side-netting or just past the post.

On the goal, he was a bit unlucky because David Villa, a razor finisher in these situations, slotted between his legs.

By contrast, he got lucky on the loose ball after his save, when the scrambling Messi headed in but was flagged offside. Messi wasn't offside.

For me, Szczesny was Arsenal’s best player last night for that reason. Making Messi miss was the name of the game.

Yes, Koscielny played his finest game in an Arsenal shirt.

Yes, Jack Wilshere played with remarkable authority at the heart of the team. England need to play Jack football, Fabio - not Capello football.

Yes, of course, CL knock-out ties are a game of four halves.

Arsenal lost the first half 1-0 and won the second half 2-0 and halves three and four will roll round 20 days from now.

Arsenal raised their tempo after half-time and the game turned on 68 when Keita and Arshavin came on.

Keita replaced Villa to stiffen Barca's midfield, which was running out of steam, and allowed young Busquets to go ball-hunting further up the field.

Arshavin’s arrival (for Song) allowed him to link in a cool manner with Clichy, who played a killer ball forward into the box with his right-foot and gave Van Persie a chance to hit a mighty left-foot shot on the half- volley inside the near post of Victor Valdes for 1-1.

Valdes has always had flaky moments. That blunder by allowed Arsenal back into a game that Barcelona were still playing mostly in Arsenal's half.

Still, defending deeper can be good. You can only counter-attack if your opponents are in your half of the field. You can attack too much in a game. If you attack less, you often score more.

Frankly, Fabregas, Eboue and Walcott had been crap.

All three played crap. Only a blinkered, badge-kissing nincompoop would say any of those three played well last night.

Arsenal had nothing on the right flank but now, suddenly, that was where the winning goal came from after a fabulous move.

The cool Koscielny picked up the ball in his penalty area, passed to Bendtner, who passed infield to Wilshere, then quickly forward to Fabregas, who instantly released Nasri with a superb ball down the right flank.

Nasri could have tried the obvious with a low cross to the far post but chose instead to play a lovely pass which allowed Arshavin to curl his sidefoot shot behind Abidal and into the net from 15 yards.

That quality goal gave Arsenal their first victory against Barcelona and it set the seal on the pulsating, rocking, thrilling night that the Emirates has needed since 2006.

Sporting Gijon was a factor last night because game was much harder than the Wolves game was for Arsenal .

After two and half years of staggering success, and intensifying pressure, Barcelona are showing signs of burn-out, so Pep has to husband his resources very carefully.

Coming back off an international break, which is mostly where Barcelona d rop their points, he conceded an early goal at Gijon in a game that was very passionate, intense and physical, since Gijon are fighting for their lives just above the drop-zone.

 I was really enjoying the game but as the second half went on I was thinking : This is taking a lot out of Barcelona !

Indeed, it was a helluva battle that was taking a lot out of both sides.

Just as the commentators began to say that David Villa was about to be taken off, he glided onto a wonder-pass from Messi and chipped the keeper from the edge of the box and it finished 1-1.

Success brings a heavy schedule.

The more games you win, the more the pressure is on you. To handle that you need character and guts. Wilshere and Szczesny have given the team a lot more personality and authority than it had last year.

Big characters, big difference.

As Rufus Thomas said, age ain’t nothin’ but a number.
