It really is starting to feel like this is a PL team not only for now but also for the future as well. Looking at the starting team today:
Begovic - 31
Francis - 33
S Cook - 27
Ake - 23
A Smith - 27
Brooks - 21
Lerma - 23
L Cook - 21
Fraser - 24
King - 26
Wilson - 26
Everyone there could easily still be a PL starter in five seasons time apart from Francis and that midfield in particular looks to have many, many years in it (if we can keep hold of them!).
Even Francis is a little bit of a fudge. He's played well the last two matches and deserves to keep his place but it seems clear A Smith is now in front of him to get into the side and so if Rico can gel into our style and get into the side then... we're set for some time.
The way EH and JT have evolved the team is really looking more and more masterful all the time. Yet another chapeau in their direction.
