Jack Wilshere said there were reasons to be positive about our performance in Saturday’s 3-2 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur under-18s.
“Performance wise I thought we were the better team,” he said after the match. “I thought we had the majority of the control in the game.
“Maybe we allowed them too much time and space in the first half but I felt we dealt with that and found our way. We always expected them to start first, we were coming to their place, it’s a derby and they always want to do that.
“We didn’t start great and suffered a little bit for that but found our way back in the game and we dominated the second half, came back into it when we were 2-1 up and had moments to win the game and kill it off.
