Last pre season, Arsenal thumped us 4-0. Besides the embarrassing score, we played one useless match that highlighted what the season was going to be. And yes, the shambolic display lived through the rest of the shameful season.

Yesterday,.....yesterday things were different. You could see patterns of play in attack. You could see desire and ideas to defend. You could see the desire to fight. And you could see a tactical plan... But most importantly you could feel togetherness in the team. You could see their happy faces... If I were any of of the EPL top clubs, I'd be concerned with what I saw. Considering that its only three weeks of Pochs work and with a chelsea side with no European football  distraction, things could just get messy for all of them.

If not everyone, then almost everyone had a foot right. But I will have a special mention for Gusto, Nkunku and Jackson. Any of these three could have easily been man of the match

Jackson, will make our attacking players behind him flourish. His brain to hold is equal to Lukaku. But what makes him special is he has intelligence to lay and create. How he plays on the shoulders of the defenders is also special. That man, that man looks like a proper striker. How he drops deep, how he presses, his ball controlling, its just hard to see how he will flop. How he fed on that immaculate Cucu pass is how he will be feeding from Enzo.

Nkunku movement is perhaps the best of our attacking players. Imagining Nkunku behind and close to Jackson is mouth watering. Intelligence, flair, pace and aggression.

Gusto.. James must have been watching smiling.. the man looks like his complete replica.. his pressing, positioning, tackling, marking, aggression.. For once we can say we have James able deputy.. next time I would love to see how he can deal with the crazy Mudryk run we saw yesterday.. but we may never... EPL has only one Mudryk and he is at chelsea

The kids played like men with 40children. To imagine that Hall, Angelo and Santos are 18, Chukuemeka 19, Casadei, Gusto and Colwill all 20 and Noni 21 is just terrifying. Mudryk, Benoit and Enzo at 22 you would be tempted to think they are in their 30's with how they play. When the Oldman Silva himself retires, The oldman Reece to take over is only 23👌....

Its too early to judge but its never wrong to be optimistic. We may not win the league, We may falter in some crucial games next season, but soon, soon rather than later we will be there.

That return pass from Maatsen is actually underrated... so quick and precise...not all players will do such a thing , most would hold the ball and try to turn ... I’m not mentioning a name but an example is a roadrunner in the squad 🫢
