Arsenal registered their first win of the season

#4 Worst: Jack Wilshere

Arsenal v West Ham United - Premier League
Wilshere offered little or no creativity

It is understood that one feels the nerves when they return to their boyhood club, but Wilshere could have and should have done much better.

The midfielder should have kept the passes flowing and the direction of play ticking, but he slowed down the tempo of the game, lost possession and picked the wrong passes at times. In addition to these mistakes, he failed to release Anderson on one occasion, which could have easily resulted in a goal.

Defensively too, there is a huge scope for improvement as far as Wilshere is concerned. He was unorganized and reckless.

His challenge on Guendouzi could have been more dangerous than what it actually was. Also to mention, the likes of Bellerin ran past him way too easily.

Not a happy return for Jack Wilshere.
