Finally some proper game time

Arsenal fans and English media hyped Jack Wilshere so much that his ankles could not tolerate it. Every time the midfielder got on the pitch, it was given so much attention, and that just put too much pressure on him.

At Bournemouth, Jack Wilshere is not getting that much media attention and it's helping him a lot! Arsenal fans are not recording his every move, and he's got the freedom to try out new stuff and also play his natural game.

With players of his level and lesser than him, he's able to dominate the midfield and stand out. Arsenal kept signing better players and he just faded away into the darkness, and that resulted in him putting too much on the training ground and that once again, resulted in injuries.
