The team did as well as we could hope and I enjoyed a bit of shameless ingerland supporting in a way I haven't really since '96.
We do lack any true creativity in midfield and as the game went on we were trying more and more to bypass midfield altogether. Kane was missing his Eriksen, Sterling was missing his De Brune or any of the world class support he has at City. There are the U20s world cup winners still to make the step up so perhaps we have another golden generation on the way soon. Although I worry for Maitland-Niles and Nelson at Arsenal, I suspect the pressure on Emery to get results quickly will see them sidelined in favour of more tried and trusted players.
