Despite their shocking loss to Nottingham Forest in the English FA Cup Fouth round last weekend, Arsenal have been performing better with a blend of youngsters and more established players in their ranks, which bolds well for the future.

Honestly, so many would have thought that Arsenal's poor start to the season would have badly affected their confidence, but their Spanish Coach Mikel Arteta has been able to steady the team by ensuring they stay focused, and it has certainly had a positive impact on the squad, as they have been performing even beyond expectations since their shaky start.

In addition, they are now well and truly in contention for the champions league spots, with several english youngsters in their ranks putting in top notch peformances which did not go unnoticed, as most of them were called up by the English National team which is something to be proud of.

Meanwhile, it is now left for Mikel Arteta to ensure that such talents are nurtured so they can keep performing at such a level consistently. More improtantly, they have not allowed the whole indiscipline displayed by their Gabonese former Captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to destabilise the team, with the handling of the situation by Arteta highly commendable, as no one player is bigger than a club.
