Day after and with the loss sinking in...I think we can be proud of Ten Hag and the team actually. The fact some were even thinking before the match that we could win, not against your run of the mill sixth place Arsenal, but this Arsenal shows how far we have come this season.
No Casemiro, Sancho, Martial, Dalot. With a team that is only 6 months into its rebuild, that is short of a proper striker, that probably needs 1 or 2 other first 11 players, to pretty much go toe for toe with Arsenal says a lot. This wasn't a sit back and counter for 90 mins type of game, the game went back and forth in terms of possession up until the last 20 minutes or so. You have to credit Ten Hag (and the players) with this improvement. The fact we are playing Ten Hag's way regardless of who we play for me is the most encouraging thing.
To me its clear to see if you stick a Kane/osimhen up top, a De Jong player next to Case. Sancho, Garnacho, Martial, Eriksen as options to come of the bench I reckon we challenge for all trophies.
