Love these youngsters!

I really hope they can integrate well into the first team.
Our cup games are currently far more enjoyable to watch than our league games.
Soldato
Tierney, Willock and Martinelli should all become first teamers.

Blatant pen!

Arsenal have always had good youngsters, the days of Wilshere, Vela, Bendtner (lol) etc

Not sure if serious
Ceballos! Martinelli with the assist
The days of the league cup where Wenger played youth and Baptista, always looked great, but never really reached their potential.
Soldato
Infinitely more enjoyable than weekends atm.

I’d like to see Martinelli get some game time at the weekend. He deserves it after tonight, as does Tierney.

The introduction of Tierney is the same vibe as Aubameyang: Giroud was a perfectly serviceable striker, but the Gabonese immediately raised the quality, hunger, professionalism, ability to impact at big moments. Watching Tierney's quality and security in possession and delivery - finally a fullback who can cross! - you can see immediately that he will be a player that makes a difference.
Martinelli was excellent; movement outstanding and just simply a threatening player. Nelson did himself credit too, particularly. 90 minutes for Bellerin and Holding was a boon.
Finally a feel-good factor. But unlike the Wenger Cup team that had Vela, Owusu-Abeyie, Aliadiere etc, it's easier to see both a route into the team and the quality of some of these young players to make an impact. There are a couple that are short (e.g. Maitland-Niles), or may not transition, but we have a really solid crop of young players here. And after years in the doldrums, the scouting department deserve credit for picking up Guendouzi and Martinelli in particular. Second and third-tier footballers in their nation, we've pulled a fast one.
