We had barely digested Saturday's match before it was time for another epic performance. This time Sheffield United were to be ridiculed by Arsenal's youngest team ever in the Carling Cup. The average age was merely 18 years and 6 months and the oldest player on Arsenal's side was Lukas Fabianski at the age of 23. That says it all.
Arsene's young guns are now offiicially the most feared squad in the Carling Cup, not because we have big players that will hurt our opponents but because our cohesive play is more dangerous than Roy Keane on drugs. This ended any doubts of the future of the squad, however, the question is, will Wenger be able to keep the squad together? Is this enough to win trophies now?
Awarding Man of the Match to one player is not possible as the team performance won the game, and everybody had a part to play; Ramsey, Vela (scoring a Hat-trick), Bendtner (scoring a brace), Wilshere (scored his first competitive goal and became the second youngest to score after Cesc.
Overall it was a proud day to be a Gooner, hopefully we shall se the young guns lift the Carling Cup later this season before the big guns lift the Premiership trophy in May!
Wenger knows best!
