Iniesta.
Lets see how decisive he becomes in the final third before we start comparing him to Iniesta (although I see exactly what you mean).
Not comparing his level to Iniesta's.
Fair enough.
In other news:
I disagree as i think Jack has a different skillset to all those players.
Post Swansea, Wilshere mentioned he thinks long passing is his big weakness.

How do you think it differs?
He's much more rough-and-tumble. Iniesta and Hleb are/were a bit more delicate.
Jack and Hleb certainly have getting the shit kicked out of them in common.

You already answered this question in your earlier post:224 which i agree with except for the tiny detail of Hleb being a more pure 2 footed dribbler. Compare Jack's touch video with this one of Hleb's Travesty that team never won anything!

Sorry. I agree it was wrong of me to try to tarnish some people's childhood memories.
It was wrong of you to attempt to undermine how good Fabregas is in comparison to Wilshere.
Jack actually didn't play as forward as I thought.
Love those lovely flicks from Giroud to Wilshere. Have to say the big man showed some lovely touches, not normally associated with players like him.

Eh? Hleb was fucking shit. 😆

His passing in general and his defensive game has been lacking since his return.
Lot of interesting names being brought up: Fabregas, Iniesta. Okay.

That's right. Before his goal, he had two chances to put people through on goal after one of his drives and he overhit both of them. But the way he turns and runs past people, it will open up a lot of passing lanes for forwards making good runs off the ball.

Comparing style of play, not quality. I'm not getting into another "was Hleb any good?" debate.
Yeah, Jack's way behind Hleb in the number of pre-assists and pre-pre assists.
His dribbles are less mazy as well.
😆
