I admit there was occasions when we could have absolutely seen a new exciting talent burst onto the scene and give the senior players something to think about. We can criticise all we want, but Arteta sees these players almost every day and he decides whose ready. He's not shy about including some of the youth team in the senior training sessions, we see it all the time. So if a particularly thrilling youngster doesn't get first team football, despite training with them, then he hasn't done enough. Besides, Arteta has well and truly put those critiques to bed given his integration of Ethan Nwaneri, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Max Dowman in recent seasons. Those three are still in the infancy of their careers, but they've been given a huge spotlight on the biggest stages to accelerate their path to first team stardom.
