Jack Wilshere expecting "hard time" from England fans

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere is expecting England's Euro 2016 flops to receive criticism from fans during the upcoming club season.

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has admitted that he is expecting England's Euro 2016 squad to endure a "hard time" from fans during the upcoming campaign.

The Three Lions were dumped out by minnows Iceland in the first knockout round at this summer's tournament in what was described by many as one of the most humiliating results in their history.

Wilshere acknowledged that the team fell well short of expectations, and is prepared for the fans to vent their frustration during club games.

"I think we can expect a hard time because we know that we were not good enough. We know that we didn't reach the heights that the country expected us to meet. We didn't perform," he is quoted as saying by talkSPORT

"And for us, the main thing is to look at ourselves. We as players know that we were not good enough. Of course we let the fans down.

"We know that England fans are passionate, and they are going to show their frustration towards us."

Arsenal will begin their Premier League campaign at home to Liverpool on Sunday.
