Jack Wilshere impresses in his full England debut

An Impressive Debut.

Jack Wilshere started the friendly alongside Frank Lampard against Denmark and put in a solid and reliable performance. He only played 45 minutes of the game but this was enough to show he deserves a place in the England side, and Arsene Wenger probably had an agreement with Capello for the youngster to only play 45 minutes of the match. Fabio had said before the game that Jack would be playing in a defensive role. This however wasn't really the case as he played in a traditional central midfield position, alongside Lampard and got forward well on occasions, as well as some brilliant tackles when he tracked back to help out the defence.

 I personally believe Jack had a good debut as he fitted into the midfield brilliantly, especially when you consider that he is still only 19. He didn't make any mistakes and only gave the ball away on two occasions. He looked enthusiastic, full of energy and definitely a player for the future. Jack clearly enjoyed his debut, and he felt himself that he played well and showcased his talents to the world.

 However the English press have been at it again. Despite a good England victory the team have been criticised in the press and Jack Wilshere has been criticised for not putting in a magnificent performable. The player is only 19 years old and to be making your international debut and being a regular in the Premier League the boy clearly has class and is a brilliant player for his age. But once again the British press criticised a young England player's performance with one national newspaper giving him just 5 out of 10. This is very surprising as it was clear he played well and should be impressed with what he has achieved for his age. Many journalists decided instead to praise a young Danish player Eriksen. He had a good game but is nowhere near the level of Jack Wilshere. Are Ajax still in the Champions League? Had anyone really heard of him before last night? The answer to both of these is no and Martin Samuel's article in the Daily Mail seems pretty poor. Jack played in a deeper role for the sake of the team, he managed to play there due to his commitment and talent. I can assure you that Eriksen will never reach the level Jack already has at 19 years of age.
