It's difficult to get a handle on the level of performances we can expect when Wilshere is truly playing without any worries. Mainly because it has been so long since we've seen him play fluently. Even without being on the sidelines, his play is so stop-start. When he started playing in the first team he had that bite/zip/whateveryouwanttocallit about his play. Wenger keeps calling it "the little burst". Skipping past a challenge and driving forward which was pretty much what caught everyone's attention is now so laboured. He's only 21 so he has time, but meanwhile we're just going to have to wait to see if he can turn and move quicker. And if he can't, we'll have to see how he adapts his game.
