The two kids at full back were very impressive, and Spearing reminded me of Mascherano but without the perpetual risk of a red card. Yes, I thought he was that good, and could be our DM for years to come.
Lucas continues to improve and played superbly.
Although I want us to sign some real class in the summer, we have the nucleus now of a group of young kids, many of them local, who can start to take a place in the first 11.
Robinson, Flanagan, Spearing, Kelly can join Carra and Gerrard in the first team now and not look out of place.
To go to Arsenal, with so many players unavailable, and then lose players in the match, and still be in the game, and could easily have won it, is a great testament to the progress we have made. A great away performance.
