[Top Londoner]

Thank god arsenal have come out and denied jack will miss the rest of the season now I know it can't be true

Arsene on twitter?

if you're going to rest Jack for any game it's Reading at home...

Wenger's thinking he'll rest Jack for the rest of the season so he's fresh and ready for the Far East tour........

Just read on Pravda that Steve Bould reckons Jack and Walnuut will be back on Saturday. Good news if true........big IF knowing what our medical staff are like.

I think we are being , rightly, cautious with jack. If he can come back into a winning team we'll be easier for his recovery

"We have good news with both of them. Jack and Theo are outside running, and have an outside chance of being involved against Norwich a week on Saturday." Doesn't sound great - next Saturday!

I know blasphemy. Is it a coincidence our form has improved without Wilshere in the side? Does he slow or limit us?

[highburyJD]

The thread is called Wilshere out for the season, Norwich sounds pretty good to me

To give us every chance of stopping those scum bags finishing in the top 4, I hope Jack misses out until we have secured a top 4 finish.
We have been playing much better since he's been injured, just like we were prior to his return. I have nothing against Jack, but our midfield looks better balanced when he doesn't play and Carzola is showing his early season (prior to Jack's return) form once more. And it is no co-incidence that our recent run of results has come since Jack's absence.
Where to play Jack or rather, how to play Jack is a problem that needs to resolved during pre-season, as he is obviously to good a player to be sidelined when fit, but at present Wenger's inability to utilise him merely results in a disfunctional midfield.

See my post in the Willshire thread.

Hadn't we won something like 56% of games he has played and only 38% when he hasn't.....

Might be wrong but saw it somewhere

I would doubt those figures this season.

I'm sure I saw it on a ssn report a few weeks back just after his injury, somone might find the stats somewhere

Over the 18 Premier League games that Wilshere has started this season, the Gunners have won 10 games - a win rate of 55.6% - whilst of the 11 he has missed, they have only won four - a 36.4% win rate. That means Arsenal have gained an average of 1.83 points per game with Wilshere starting this season, compared to 1.54 without him.

There you have it, it will slightly different now because we have won 3 on the bounce (2 league) but still.......

EDIT: It included the wins over swansea so only misses the Reading game

[LeftfootlegendGooner]

See the stats (I know I know ) I put on the other thread, we are definitely better with him, granted we beat bayern without him but have only beaten Swansea and Reading since then.....
