Jack Wilshere was the Original Phil Foden.The technical ability and ball carrying was very non english like.I am a United fan but it was sad to see him struggle with injuries.
Better than Foden, Wilshere dribbling and defensive positioning was underrated
Nah, Wilshere was better that many would've thought he would suit playing for Barcelona.
But then again, it's just a fairy tale at this point.
@@kohikappu Except, Barcelona release better technical players then Wilshere, every single year. That’s the point Pep was reminding everyone about.
@@imconfused1237 The only thing Pep was reminding people about was that he was a sore loser who was unable to compliment an opposing player after a loss
@@Harry-mf6rq Have you seen Pep’s trophy cabinet?
Give your head a wobble 😂
That jack wilshere performance against Barcelona will remain one of the greatest footballing performances by an English player ever in the champions league
*Scholes has left the chat*
Gareth Bale has entered the chat.
@Jordan Schlansky He's also not English so he can exit the chat. 😂
@@jordanschlansky4093 he’s Welsh
Absolutely
I predict in about four years time we'll have one of these videos about Dele too. I'm really quite curious to understand what happened with him. Went from a goal scoring prodigy, by far the record holder for a young midfielder, you know providing an assist to get Spurs into the CL Final to a couple of years later becoming a totally different player, losing basically every ability he had.
Dele Alli is the most laid back person ever. He doesn't care that he's not maximising himself, he's just enjoying his life and fair play to him. Sometimes you shouldn't be judged for being the happiest you can be over social pressures and those of your peers.
The besikstas coach doesn’t play him because he’s not efficient
@@fplgregfrost Maybe true, but I see a David Bentley future for him. I'm not saying it's not right for him if that's what he's truly enjoying ... if something like Besiktas doesn't work out for him, where does he go next? This could be a League One to CL and back speed run record.
Deles problem isn't injuries, his mentality is weak.
The difference is Dele fundementally does not have a complete game. He plays a second striker role that most top teams cannot acomodate. He scored a lot in his first couple of years because he had:
Kane up top for CBs to worry about
Eriksen feeding him and taking away DMs attention
Dembele behind him to clean up when he lost the ball from his flicks
With Kane becoming more of a playmaker and feeding Sonny on the counter under Mourinho, Dele really didn't fit into the side and ofc injuries + lack of effort doomed him.
One of my all time live game performances, genuinely stole the show that evening. He also had a brilliant game Vs Brazil, can't remember home or away.
No matter what happened, he will always be remembered as a legend💯🔴⚪️
he is no legend
A West Ham fan as a legend 🤨
Not sure he can be considered a legend but cult hero certainly
It always broke my heart seeing him not reach the heights I thought he would. It was exciting to see Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere on the rise at the same time.
He used to be the go to for many in FIFA back in the day. Had a great left foot.
I think more of the speculation as to why he was injured so much would have been interesting.
I know that Brazilian Ronaldo's injuries were caused by a growth spurt in youth with inadequate nutrition. Something in the knee was thus always tender.
Prime Wilshere was an absolute baller. 💯
He never reached prime
Great player technically, poor player tactically. I remember seeing an Arsenal game, where Wenger played him in the Pirlo role, as a deep lying playmaker trying to utilise his vision and passing ability, but Wilshire just couldn't hold the centre of the pitch, kept chasing the ball out wide and exposing the defence on the counter. Technical ability on its own is not enough, players gotta have the tactical awareness to know which areas of the pitch to be in. Wilshire was really a ball chaser. Injuries ruined his career, but lack of tactical awareness didn't help either.
what happened to Ibrahim Afellay? for the next video, please
I play mobile FM manager 2016, and always make him the best player in my arsenal team (edit his stats)
I'm a foreigner, Liverpool and Premier League fan and I remember cringing every time Wilshere goes into (unnecessary) hard tackles knowing his injury record. I think his problem is that he tried too hard to act tough. But it's also hard to blame him as I know that opponents were always playing tough *cough Stoke cough* against Wenger's symphony football (as my man Klopp would say) and I think Wilshere just wanna show that he wasn't to be messed with (a bit Napoleon complex).
And that ruined his career. Am I wrong?
Unpopular opinion.
Jack's minutes were also poorly managed. He started the 2010/11 season as an 18 y o and went on to make 49 club appearances that season. Players with his unique trait of never being afraid of venturing forward even if it means leaving themselves vulnerable to physical contact with the opposition must be protected from themselves by their respective coaches. The same is evident in the careers of many professional footballers albeit to varying degrees depending on several factors.
age of gerrard and lampard?? someone threw paul scholes out of the windows there.
My heart goes out for him...
What a talent he was!
He is Phil Foden
This reminds me of a FourFourTwo article I read around the time he tore up Barcelona that talked about how the England FA started focusing on technical ability over strength. There was quote that said something like "imagine the 2022 World Cup, where a group of technically gifted young English players captained by a 30 year old Jack Wilshire are going to play beautiful football and amaze the world." Always stuck with me
I think the crucial thing looking back is that Jack just came too early English football. If he came through anytime from 2018 onwards when the FA started to drive towards more agile and technically gifted players and where players received more protection on the pitch, he might have had a more sustainable career. As an Arsenal supporter, I can't even begin to imagine how exciting a young Wilshere would be in the Arsenal squad today. He was the first player I watched come through the academy and he was truly a unique talent. Let's hope he can bring that into his coaching career! Super, super Jack!
pocketing the likes of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets at just 19 years old, Wilshere was an absolute talent!
Pocketing? Barca had more possesion that game, in what way did he pocket them? Pocketing would be like if Arsenal dominated the ball and barca was forced to defend.
@@juanestebankruhsanmguel1960 Pocketing is a bit of an exaggeration, but a teenage Wilshere held his own and sometimes even got the better of three ATG midfielders - it really was an astonishing performance (from a Leicester City fan)
@@juanestebankruhsanmguel1960 more possession does not equal winning the midfield battle. Wilshere nullified Barca's midfield creativity
@@yupyuphaha he didn't lol, it was a close Match where both teams had chances. Barca had 11 Shots while Arsenal had 13, in what World is that nulifying. Nulifying is what Heynckes did to Barca in 2013 in both games which Arsenal definitely didn't do.
@@juanestebankruhsanmguel1960 yeah I watch the games back and Wilshere’s performance is definitely overrated.
Story of him is really something. Also a fairy tale ending, he is back with Arsenal working with under 18. Hopefully 1 day we can see him coaching the senior squad.
Would hardly call that a fairytale
@@jimbojimbo6873 well, the fairytales do not necessarily have very happy endings
still scored one of the greatest goals of all time that no one could forget
Would be nice if the video mentioned that he's back at Arsenal now working in the academy helping out the youth players.
I think Jack knows deep down he blew it by not working hard enough when things weren't working out for him. At least now he will be able to tell young players first hand that you only get one chance at footballing success. I think his experience will prove valuble to many youth players who assume the world is at their feet.
If Wilshire was Spanish, you wouldn't think twice about him. Very average player
As much as I love guy I think you have a point
was vastly overrated by the English media simply due to his nationality. Too many rose tinted glasses worn from the uneducated masses when looking back at his career. Was a favourite of casuals, fifa fans and plastics
Most talented player I've ever seen at Arsenal. I don't want to watch this video cause I know the whole story and it's sad. I pray he finds his way in management and achieves the success he deserved as a player. Players with 1/3 of his talent have gone on to do more, purely due to their good fortune.
Part of being a top player is staying injury free. A lot of luck involved of course.
So I take it you've never seen Liam Brady play......... shame as Jack was the closest we came to him.
Loved him at Bolton, you could just see his potential and vision that few others had
Both him and sturridge a level above and a crying shame we never saw them have full careers
I remember when they were at Bolton.Good times,good times..Come back up Bolton
Hurts my heart to watch this💔. So many players we lost because of horrible English referees. Diaby, ramsey, cazorla, eduardo, reyes and more. This list should’ve never been this big.
All great talents that were unfortunately ruined, but it's Cazorla for me that's the worse. What a fantastic player, great with both feet, outstanding vision and could make a game play at his speed. I know he made somewhat of a revival back in la liga but never to the same levels I don't think
Next up Bukayo Saka
@@finnmoran Saka is very strong but have to see, ESR and Nelson is up there
Man’s blaming it on refs dkm
Grow up its sport injuries happen. Arsenal fans really are soft.
The same as what's going to happen to Saka if the refs can't figure out how to protect players
Bingo. Just said the same thing.
saka? lol isn't even better than foden
Saka is weak sauce, mentally and physically.
Arsenal produce fragile players
@@bibekkoirala352
No one was even talking about Foden
Saka needs to figure out how to stop diving
It's weird, I always remember hearing first about Wilshere, the same time as Aaron Ramsey. I remember they played Sheff United in the league cup in 2008, I think, which Arsenal won 6-0. I remember the build up was about Wilshere, but Ramsey seemed to me to be the better player in that game, even though Wilshere scored. Ramsey was playing on the right of the midfield and got a couple of assists. Vague memories.
That's not weird
Generational talent. Watching grow as a football was insane. Remember him at Bolton on loan. He had potential. When working under arsene he went on a whole different level. Sadly due to injuries after injuries.
Not really. Genuinely, not really. The reality is that he was a hype job who never made much of an impact at all. Of course he had the odd good game but those were the exception to the career of an otherwise very average midfielder.
The Wilshere’s of the world are ten-a-penny in academies. That’s what Pep was reminding everyone about. It’s embarrassing to compare him to genuine “generational talent” who creates a true legacy.
What’s Wilshere’s legacy? Mouthing off to refs whilst getting over run in midfield before being stretchered off with yet another injury. Yeah, truly generational 🤨
Yet again the word generational is thrown around way to much.
@@imconfused1237 being the best midfielder in a game against Barcelona who had Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets is already quite an achievement
@@imconfused1237 Looks like you've got nothing better to do then spread hateful comments about Wilshere on just about every comment on this post. You strike me as someone who is enjoying your life.
@@otto_jk Not really. It just means he had one outstanding game. Many average players have those once or twice throughout their careers.
Albeit a career blighted by injuries, he did enough to earn himself legend status at Arsenal. The skill, the bravery, the heart, the FA cup win antics. He's one of our own..
He’s a West Ham fan mate 🤨
Not sure he's an Arsenal legend...
@@imconfused1237 Do you think Harry Kane is still an Arsenal fan? No is the Answer.
@@paulj8803 He is. The Kane’s have a box at Emirates.
@@imconfused1237 you can support another club and still be a legend at a different club.
The two are not mutually exclusive.
Will never forget his performance vs barcelona, he was brilliant, consistently good performer for england aswell at a time when others around him really werent at such a young age aswell. Generational talent plagued by ill fortune. Liverpool fan wishing him all the best for the future
If the fates were kind, Jack Wilshere and Ross Barkley would be England's new Lampard and Gerrard leading England to international glory. But I guess that's just Football Manager 😁
😂
Man. I'm a Liverpool fan. But I'll always remember what he did that night against Barcelona. 19 years old. Against prime xavi and iniesta. Absolute class
Wilshire played with his heart on his sleeve which endeared him to many football fans. It's so saddening he couldn't kick on with because of injuries. I remember that Barca game where he skipped and shimmied past tackles and sent a heat-seaking missile pass to Nasri before he found Arshavin to score. Sensational player he was.
What's not mentioned in this video is that he also made a few questionable career choices. In 2016, he could've gone on loan to many bigger sides in Europe, but chose Bournemouth. In 2018, after his first decent season in years, he chose to leave Arsenal instead of accepting reduced minutes. Then he chose to go to West Ham, a side that were never going to let him showcase his best abilities. Again, instead of going abroad.
I've always felt his body couldn't handle the physical intensity of the PL, and in a slower more technical league, like say Serie A or La Liga, he could've rediscovered his game while slowly regaining the fitness he sorely needed.
A loan to a bigger European side might have meant reduced minutes, though, when the purpose of the loan was to get him fit again! Plus, I think it's fair for a player to want more minutes so I wouldn't say his move away from Arsenal is questionable either, although I do agree about the poor choice of club
No ambition happy to float around English clubs. Typically English
He had pigeon feet/ankles turned inwards so eventually he couldn’t keep going at the highest level.
a young teen showing xavi and iniesta how to run the midfield is something not really can boast..........
That goal vs. Norwich will stand the test of time as one of the best we have ever seen.
I almost shed a tear watching this.. I'm very sad for him..
Next: What Happened to Freddy Adu and other former Wonder Kids from Championship Manager and Football Manager from the past that never quite made it!!! 👍
A great podcast to listen to about Freddy Adu’s rise and fall is “American Prodigy” by Grant Wahl !
Daniel Braathen was my favourite player ever who wasn't quite as insane as he was on CM0304 HAHA
@@fplgregfrost What is insane was that when he got back to Skeid, his boyhood club, in 2020, he was one of the best defenders at the club. During his last run of games, he played literally everywhere on the pitch, except in goal. Often as a wingback or central defender.
@@Taeerom Legend
Well gutted for him, he was absolutely class
Let's not forget that other teams targeted him with rotational fouling because they couldn't get near him otherwise. The refs did not do their job properly (or were too biased against Arsenal), allowing opposition players to try and stop him violently and basically grind him down physically over time. But of course that is not how this is discussed. Instead everybody just calls him "injury prone". These lessons have not been learned and I'm afraid we'll see something similar with Saka. The exact thing can be observed with him. Defenders basically kicking him out of the game since they can't live with his speed and dribbling ability. The refs almost purposefully overlooking the fouling on Saka, even booking HIM for "simulation". It's infuriating.
It didn't help that Arsenal back in 2010/11 were so weakened in his breakthrough season that we had to rely on Jack for too many minutes of game time which was likely too much load on a young player who was just growing into his body at 19 years old.
Can’t sum it up better than this. And not just at arsenal.
In the run up to the euros, it was something like 9 of the 10 matches in qualifying he was motm. He could control games like carrick or drive the team like gerrard.
Injuries were the killer
As a Scotsman and someone who doesn't care either way about Arsenal, I always find it strange people forget how good Wilshere really was. When you saw him playing he really did look like a midfielder who could have been up there with the best in the world. Damn shame what happened to him, one of the great what if careers in football.
I'm not sure people forget, there was a lot of hate and jealousy around Jack, a lot of people just deny how good he was.
@@onelove101unity This 1000%
Watching this after seeing a clip on Talksport about Dele Alli. Alli's career is a more curious one because while Wilshire was hammered by injuries, Alli just seems to have lost something which he can't quite seem to get back. A special player he could've been.
Wilshere’s first major injury has never been properly explained. I remember watching the game, he just randomly limped off the pitch not to be seen again for over a year. After that he was doomed. You simply don’t sit on your backside for 15 months and then recondition your body back up to the demands of top level pro football.
Wenger destroyed him by overplaying him at a young age. Mismanagement.
Wishere play on the wrong position, small and technical player like him should have played wing position
Wilshire walked so foden could run.
I remember getting frustrated but mostly worried with his tendency to bait tackle in unnecessary situation. He would delay,holding up the ball and invite oppo to tackle..then just before the opponent kick the ball..he would nick it or pass it and won a foul. It was daring and good demonstration of awareness and anticipation but risky and totally not worth it. The miss timed tackle would lways hit his ankle. He should just release the ball and contribute in other phase of play instead of toying with oppenent winning foul at non critical area.
I was at the Emirates that night against Barcelona. It was an absolute masterclass. Wilshere dominated the midfield. Every time he got the ball there seemed to be 3 Barça players harassing him in a split second, but he always managed to get his way out of trouble with calm and poise. I was sure I was watching the future of English football. Heartbreaking that it was not to be.
I think Jack was the most exciting English player since Gazza. He could drift by players so effortlessly. So sad.
Jack Wilshere, Abou Diaby, Eduardo, Santi Cazorla their stories always break my heart.
Jack Wilshire can be a role model for all of us. To have the mental strength to push through injury after injury in the hope of better days must have been incredibly challenging on his mental health. Such a shame for such a talent to have had that much misfortune, but at least he can hold his head high for what he achieved in his cut short career :)
Most ovverated English player of the last decade..
Jack's story always makes me sad. What a talent he was. My favourite Arsenal players from the previous decade, despite the injuries. Getting to watch him play was always a joy.
He was amazing and I won't never forget his style and character.
To be fair to Pep. Barca had Tiago alcantarA and raphinha with other young midfielders who were as talented. Its not a surprise that he was not that impressed.
It was a total lack of grace in defeat that has always since coloured my opinion of him. As the video points out, his players were complementary enough
All he has to say is yeah the lad did well and move on, doesnt have to see just how many jibes he can get in
I always know Jack wilshere. But what make me remember him right now, if media say Jack Grealish i will always remember Jack wilshere.
He scored the greatest team Goal I have ever seen in Football vs. Norwich City F.C. Loved him as a Player. Just sucks his career was full of injuries. But he played with pure passion and dedication to the Fans and his teammates.
Flashback to wincing every time Wilshere left his foot in just a little too long to juke the defender at the last possible moment. What was impressive during Wilshere's career disintegration was that he seemed to come back from each injury setback better than before. He was able to develop and mature as a footballer off the field and think through how he can get better each time. Maybe that's the sign of a player who'll become a good coach. He would share a backstory with Brian clough, another player whose career was ended in his 20 through injury.
His dribbling style was based on having somewhat heavy touches that baited opponents into committing tackles. He was good at creating those duels that were 60-40 in his favour, but getting to the ball first doesn’t mean you’ll escape a whack…
Injuries. Saved you 5 mins
His burst of speed on the ball was incredible
As a Spurs fan. Can't stand him
It's easy to feel sorry for him, but as well as the talent, there was a sense of entitlement to him. Being told he was great from an early age led to complaceny and when he needed some grit to get going after injuries, he didn't have it. Having said that, I think his experience will help so many young players as he joins the Arsenal youth set up. I'm sure in their ranks there are dozens of entitled kids who think they are on their way to a pro contract, but he will be there to remind them that talent is useless without hard work. I wish him all the best.
really sad ending he is top mid fielder in fifa 14 crossing 90 potential
Now he is a football coach for Arsenal FC U18, not bad for a 29-year-old. I hope one day he will be a manager for Arsenal, we love his playing style, I hope one day he will carry his style of play to the team.
Jack wheel chair😊
🤣🤣🤣
Same thing that’s now happening to Saka. PL referees refusing to book players for tackling Arsenal players again and again. Opponents know they can get away with a few knocks every match and it’s all part of their game now.
It’s probably because Saka throws himself to the ground. Those aren’t fouls, bro.
@@imconfused1237
Just admit you saw him go down easily just once and came to that opinion. He doesn’t go down easily and his strength and balance is one of his best attributes.
@@Squidward-jv7go He does it all the time. It’s part of his game. He isn’t being called out as the media fear the ‘you’re racist’ backlash.
I dunno mate, listening to Arsenal fans sometimes, you'd think no other team ever gets fouled, just them. I'd bet Saka isnt even in the top 5 most fouled players in the league.. I never see Palace fans complain for example, and Zaha is ALWAYS getting kicked. Same with Grealish when he was at Villa.
@@imconfused1237 You need to watch the game, many defenders intentionally tackled him.
He was one of my favourite players growing up I still remember that pre sesson game against new York red bulls where he got that first injury which made his career snowball. Just wish he never played that match imagine what he could've been 😩
What a player he was before his injury crisis. some players you think what they would have been if not for injuries
Always remember those goals vs Slovenia
HE was that player England needed injuries ruined him
An absolute waster
Pep was right tho
He was overhyped
I would argue that the main problem was that his dribbling style was problematic for an injury-prone player. He would often show the ball to defenders to invite them to lunge in for a challenge, take the ball just before they got there and then skip away from the over-committed defender. That meant that he got plenty of knocks and kicks (and also the sudden twists and turns added to the strain).
Yes, absolutely spot on.
Grealish might get done this way.
Remember ITV interviewing him before an England game early in his career and he was asked a ridiculous question along the lines of "how does it feel to be England's next big star player".
Had a bad feeling ever since he was asked that, because once again the English media were putting the pressure of the world on a young player's shoulders.
Jack Wheelchair
i remember his son said people used to mock him and say your father is Jack Wheelchair
I've never understood why Wilshere was abused for his injuries.
Yet foreign players like Cazorla, Essien, Diaby, Van Persie and Thiago, had loads of sympathy for their injuries? 🧐🤷♂️🤔
Fabregas had 250 games before 21. So underrated our El Captitan after Wilshere’s failure 😊
Congratulations to BT Sport Twitter and Wilshere's PR team for creating this "legacy" 😂😂😂. What's next? Wan Bissaka pocketing Mbappe.
Wiltshere was not that good, the hype was mainly because he was English, even when fit most of his Arsenal games were unremarkable. This nonsense about "pocketing Xavi/Iniesta" was created by 1 viral video. He was never on the Xavi/Iniesta/Gerrard/Lampard/Scholes level. Cesc Fabregas at Arsenal was much better than Wilshere. A very good talent who didn't live up to the hype but this "world class" narrative was created AFTER he left Arsenal. Just shows you how easily social media and PR can completely distort or create a narrative.
What a weird, victim-blamey conclusion that was. Wilshere only had himself to blame for getting injured by dribbling. It's his fault for having such tacklable ankles, I suppose.
The real talent who are failed to shine because injury... i really love watch wilshere play on pitch, his ability and skill control ball was very briliant player... if he still could play i think he can be like xavi, iniesta cesc...
stop using "British" and "English" interchangeably, talking about "British" players with a big st.georges cross in the background
Overhyped English player who had one good game against Barcelona and scored one absolute fluke goal against Norwich. Embarrassing.
I full on cried when he scored against Chelsea under Unai Emery.
Ruined himself playing through injury and w his ego forcing a move when Emery told him he won't be a starter
He was made of fibreglass.
In fact his bones were made of sand, crumbled upon touch.
Not hard to figure out what went wrong. When you have the durability of a burnt napkin, you can't do physical activities lol.
Feel it for jacc. I always felt that Wengers medical team had this issue for a long time under his reign. Van Persie was bad at that too. Jacc should’ve been the future of football. Go and watch that Barca game at the emirates. He was 19 up against the strongest midfield 3 in history at the time. Jacc should coach football NGL
Injuries. everyone knows that. we didnt need a whole video about it
My dad told me about him, i was to young to remember. He was watching barca play against arsenal and always said how he admired him, a real special player.
"He posssed Technical ability and Vision that is rear for an English player, which is found in Spanish and South American players" what a roast on English players but the whole world knows most of their players are ovverated except the deluded English fan base
I agree with the points about his playing style - I always felt he should have modelled some of his style around Paul Scholes' style. I wasn't a fan of him snapping into tackles all the time, and I ddin't think he had the physicality for that.
He didn't pass that much and was always doing 1-2s and taking the ball forward.
That being said, Arsenal at that time didn't have good coaching and wasn't winning games and didn't have good players across the pitch - and that definitely affected him as well.
Wilshere was as lazy and unprofessional as he was talented. Maybe that affected his body's capability to cope with injuries or maybe he was just unlucky. It's a little weird that his lack of professionalism isn't mentioned at all in this video, though.
real failure was all the referees/whole fa condoning and encouraging other teams to brutalise arsenal players, with barely a yellow card in response to career ending tackles. shameful and corrupt
the biggest reason to jack Wilshire's injuries is him being unprotected by referees, arsenal's medical room was awful, his playstyle is hard to be 100%fit .
