Wilshere praise for Lehmann

Midfielder Jack Wilshere has praised veteran Jens Lehmann after the German's impressive performance against Blackpool.

Wilshere also revealed that Lehmann was very vocal during the half-time team talk, inspiring the team after having barked instructions at them during the first half.

Wilshere said: "He was brilliant. He was only called in ten minutes before kick-off but it was great to have him around.

"He's been there, done it all and was part of the 'Invincibles' so he knows what it takes to win the title. And we want to be like the 'Invincibles' too.

"He was a bit like an assistant manager on the pitch. He was telling us what it is like and was giving a team-talk at half-time.

"He is so passionate, you could see that. He was screaming and shouting at everyone.

"I remember him being a bit crazy and a bit of a character before. But he looks after himself and is great to learn from. He's 41 and he's got a better body than me!"
