Can Jack Learn Enough On An IPad?

He's convinced England boss Roy Hodgson and, perhaps most importantly, convinced himself. But if Jack Wilshere is to really make his new position work then he must persuade his club manager. Unfortunately, Arsene Wenger remains reluctant to acquiesce to the idea of the 23-year-old as a holding midfielder. The Arsenal boss said in October that he did not envisage Wilshere playing there and has been true to his word in the limited opportunities to test the theory since then. The ankle injury that kept the Gunners midfielder out over the winter has meant only three starts for Wilshere since his back-to-back man-of-the-match performances for England in November. The following week against Manchester United, Wenger positioned him as a No10 with two midfielders operating behind and when Wilshere returned to the starting line-up in May, it was to play out wide, cutting inside from the right flank. "He is not a ball-winner," said Wenger late last year in response to the calls for him to give Wilshere his chance as a deep-lying midfielder. "I believe he is more a guy who you want to get close to the final third. To keep him deep you take a big part of his efficiency away. He is a guy who likes to penetrate when there is many people, he can provoke free-kicks, he can create openings. It would be detrimental to his strengths in a position that is not his strength." Perhaps Wenger is right about Wilshere's ball-winning abilities, although he has certainly shown himself to be an enthusiastic tackler and appears more than willing to embrace the challenge of improving that aspect of his game. Wilshere made four tackles in the 3-2 win over Slovenia on Sunday - more than any England team-mate - and his tally of four interceptions was more than anyone else on the pitch. Moreover, to equate a deep-lying role with that of a ball-winner might be to misunderstand how Wilshere plots to interpret the task. It's evident from his own research that the player has something rather different in mind. It's the likes of Xabi Alonso and Andrea Pirlo that he looks to for inspiration. "I get the clips through on my iPad," he said last year. "The analyst guys here send them to me and they highlight some of his key points, his key strengths. That's part and parcel of learning." After playing there for the first time against Switzerland in September, he added: "There is a lot more to come from me in that position, but the more I watch players like that, the quicker I will learn. I have been watching Xabi Alonso on video in the past couple of weeks. He had a record number of passes in one game, nearly 200 in one match, which is ridiculous. Watching players like him and Andrea Pirlo, you learn how clever they are, how intelligent they are on the ball." Alonso and Pirlo are well known for the creative spark they can provide a team courtesy of their long passing, but Wilshere is not an obvious fit for that skill-set. It's his dribbling skills that are more apparent and if he's to continue showing that kind of fearlessness it requires support from those around him. After a series of encouraging displays for his country, the signs are that Hodgson is keen to construct the England team around him to that end.
