There’s just one word to describe the events taking place at the Emirates last night, and that word is “Slaughter.” Yes, slaughter, a youth team against an experienced Championship side, whose lawyers have been arguing that they should be in the Premier League, were made to look like amateurs by a team comprising eight teenagers with an average age of 19, who put on a footballing masterclass that was a joy to behold.After a rather edgy start to the game, where the possession of the ball was sacrificed too readily, The lads recovered their composure to put on a mouth watering show, headlined by the Carlos Vela hat-trick and the support being in the shape of a Bendtner brace & a debut goal by Jack Wilshire.
The game started with the first real chance falling to the Blades. Gary Speed found Danny Webber who cut in from the left but failed in his attempt at goal. From thereon in, it was all about The Arsenal. Vela in possession managed to hold off Morgan before finding Bendtner, who calmly stroked the ball past the Sheffield keeper to put our young Arsenal side ahead.
Bendtner got a second, 11 minutes late after, Ramsey found him with a back heal and Bendtner got in behind the defense before finishing past Kenny. Only 2 minutes later, it was Bendtner again who this time put Carlos Vela through to add our third of the night.
Soon after play resumed, Kieran Gibbs got the ball down to the left, and found Vela who cut inside and beat Morgan before lifting the ball over and about the keeper. Sheffield United then went into suspended animation, a quick short corner by Arsenal left Wilshere to pick his spot in the bottom corner Aaron Ramsey got his second assist of the night, once again finding out Carlos Vela on the left who smashed the ball passed Kenny to make it 6 for the night for The Arsenal.
It was an incredible display by the lads, especially by that of Carlos Vela who could more than likely be the 18 yard box finisher that Arsene Wenger has been searching for. Vela showed remarkable composure (very similar to Eduardo) for his 3 goals, I’m certain this lad could find himself challenging the more established players like RVP & Ade in no time. Le boss agrees:
"I think he’s a player who has everything in his locker of a good striker. He's agile, good first touch, very calm in front of goal, clinical and quick finisher and I just think he’s top class."
Not to forget, Fran Mérida also demonstrated the class that has had club insiders purring in expectation for several years, Ramsey taking to the grandeur of the Emirates Stadium like a fish to water and Jack Wilshere, 16, confirming his vast potential with a first senior goal struck from the edge of the penalty area. Le boss was very impressed by Wilshire and singled him out for a lot of praise and even talks of a comparison to Liam Brady were made, the boss said:
"He was 15 [when he first impressed] he’s 16 and last year a few times I integrated him in our [first team] training sessions. He didn’t look at all out of place. Straight away football was natural for him.”
"People tell me he is a little bit like Liam Brady because he has good balance and change of direction. I dont know Liam well enough.I believe later [in his career] he will be a central midfielder or behind the strikers."
Post match though Le Genious, was obviously full of praise, he said:
"I believe every one in his position has done very well. From goalkeeper [Lukasz] Fabianski up to [Nicklas] Bendtner and Carlos Vela of course up front they were great. You know already Bendtner and you discovered maybe a bit more about Vela. He is a clinical finisher. I am pleased as well with our midfield, and our defence was serious and stayed strong - we looked like the complete team and I’m very happy and proud of that.”
He even went onto state that this was the “cream of the youth crop” (sorry, Goon! :P) he’s had thus far, he said:
“Yes [these are the best crop of kids] Yes. Because there is not one player who has not the real quality of the Premier League in any position."
Even Kevin Blackwell, the Sheffield manager was full of praise for the youth side that tore apart his Sheffield United side, he said:
“Life has a funny way of bringing you back to earth, we knew they were a good set of lads, but no one knew quite how good they were. That side could play in the Premier League. It was like trying to swat a fly and we couldn’t catch them. I asked Arsène at the end if I could borrow 11 for Saturday.”
Bearing the slaughter in mind, Phil Brown, the Hull manager would be more than happy to face the first XI this weekend. Heh.
Finally, that sad fuck platini has been bleating on as usual and I find him so nauseating that I don’t even want to divulge into the details. My good friend, The Goon is covering this department and if you want a better look into the details, do so by clicking here.
All Hail Arsene.
Arsenal for life.
