Wilshere, meanwhile, accepts he probably needs a bit more time to fire on all cylinders again. "I know it was only six weeks, but you still lose your match sharpness and it takes a few games to come," Wilshere said. "It was frustrating, because I was flying just before I got injured in March. I felt good, confident, and then picked up another injury. "Things then drag a little and you lose your sharpness, but this time it wasn't anything like as long as the one before, so hopefully this time I can get it back more quickly. "I needed that game on Saturday - you always need your first one out of the way. "I wasn't great, I know it myself, I am better than that, but you need just to get that first game in so that your sharpness and understanding come back."
