What a two weeks for the lad.
3 Premier League starts, coming into a team with no wins in 7 and turning that form into 3 wins in a row. Coming off the bench on Saturday to get sent off and then score an extra time opener.
Of course, it isn't just ESR. Tierney has been in the best form of his Arsenal career - a mix of change in formation allowing him to play left back and a injury free season. Bukayo Saka has finding a more attacking role on the right, rather than filling in at left wing back. Lacazette has looked like he is enjoying football again. Gabriel Martinelli and Pablo Mari have also added to the run.
Let's hope the last two weeks is just the start for Emile Smith-Rowe. If he can put his injury woes behind him, he certainly looks like he will have a very bright future.
Emile Smith-Rowe.

I watched him against Man City in the LC and I thought he looked like a youngster who could make a difference. I put him in my fantasy team a few weeks ago as a cheap midfield option and he's picked up a fair few points for me recently. Looks like a talented player who can provide the creativity for the likes of Lacazette, Aubameyang, Pepe etc.

Always good to see a youngster from our own academy making his mark in the PL.
We shouldn't however rely on him to be our only source of creativity through the middle. Someone needs to be signed in January. This is even more important when you factor his injury records.

He looks a class act to me a young head on old shoulders similar to the late great Rocky Rocastle.

Needs to sign an extention of his current contract. Same for Tierney.

Don't expect any goals or assists from him midweek, I've just put him in my FF side for this gameweek with my free hit.
