Last night a plucky young team of Arsenal up and comers were desperately unlucky to lose narrowly to a vastly more experienced Tottenham side, despite being so much better. And less experienced. And younger. And they didn’t really want to win anyway. In fact, losing the game was a better outcome than winning. “Lets open the champagne” - Alan Smith.
The game saw Arsene Wenger stay true to his word, as he persisted with his ‘reserves and youth only’ policy in the Carling Cup. The match saw rare outings for Arsenal reserve players Gallas, Sagna, Hleb, Fabregas, Eduardo and Adebayor, many of whom some Arsenal fans had never even heard of. This team of unknowns therefore rubbished claims that Wenger would directly go against his pre-match team speculations by playing established first team players in an attempt to desperately cling on to a chance at cup glory.
Glorious and ever-triumphant leader Arsene Wenger (Hasn’t challenged for Premier League title in 3 seasons, including 2 consecutive narrow 4th place finishes in 2005/2006 and 2006/2007) also persisted with his admirable policy of blooding youth payers in the Carling Cup, despite claims before the match that only a small portion of the side could genuinely be called ‘youthful’. Current youth team players Gallas (30), Sagna (24), World Cup winning Gilberto (31), Hleb (26) and Eduardo (24) took to the field in an Arsenal team that simply had no hope of victory yet bravely went on despite their inexperience (Eduardo - 21 full International Caps for Croatia).
This team of home-grown youngsters such as Walcott (Fee £12 million, 30 games 3 goals, none in Premiership), Denilson (poached for £3.4 million from the London suburb of Brazil) put in an admirable display. To only lose 5-1 is an outstanding performance and the best is yet to come!
