Haven't posted in donkeys but felt compelled after watching Maitland-Niles in the 2nd half last night!
I Haven't been this excited about a youngster with promise since Fabregas.
He looked so comfortable & ready for more 1st team action in that centre/holding esq role.
Everything he did was spot on! Great in the tackle, read the danger so quickly and broke up play But also linked nicely between back 4 and front men as well. Think what impressed me the most was that he wasn't afraid to have a go at the likes of Sanchez for playing hollywood passes when a simple 5yarder to him was on! And that mazy run where he should have scored showed top class potential!!
Sadly I think since Mr Burns has officially gone senial!! He probably won't play him again for ages or will stick him back out wide.
Either way, during a frustrating time being a gooner, it's always great to see more quality youngsters coming through...and of course the great white hope Wilshere was back!!
Maitland-Niles!!! 2nd half performance...Wo

I thought Wilshere did well in the little he played was really involved in things and got stuck in. When I saw him play for Bournmouth he didn't do that, he really sat back.
Knowing our luck he'll stay injury free, have a blinding season and go on a free
