The key issue with saka is he has been over played since his early 20s and rushed back from injuries too early
He's not being double marked more than before, simply so many injuries have killed him.
I kept saying that since last season when Enrique placed Dembélé centrally.
I thought Mikel thought of it as well and the Madueke signing gave me hope Saka would be inverting.
We could create chaos especially if Eze and Odegaard link up in midfield
MAX DOWMAN (goblin kings voice)
He's got the skill, but he's not quick enough, especially since the hamstring went.
I’ve been saying he should be our striker for months. Just fits. And we need a new one.
best player in the world rn
Saka as a ten is definitely a good future for him
Saka also used to take guys on to the outside. That's what made him so good, and why he's currently so poor. Right now, he's ALWAYS trying to come in and it's made him predictable.
Here’s another thought… he’s just an average player 😂
Saka has been so bad that there are now suggestions that he’s in the wrong position 😂 reminds me of when people were saying Werner should play on the wing instead of as striker. Excuses man.
Whig means if this does work out and Madueke does start on the right Viktor into shadow realm?
What if Martinelli played CF. And Saka being a CAM or an SS🤷🏽♂️
Saka has been over used & burnt out for unessasry games this player was not manager for the past 2 years injuries after injuries he’s not the same I honestly think he just needs a long break and recovery sesh
What is this nonsense? This why England will never win anything.
Videos like this is what gives us arsenal fans a bad image
I think his best position would be in the 10 tbh, that way he can drift anywhere on the pitch where he can best influence it
"Best"???
Tf do u mean one of the best wide forward as how
He can't even lace Garnacho boot 😂😂😂
What happens to Gyökeres then?
I thought y'all said he should be a LB 😂
So what happens to gyokeres and havertz??😂😂😂
Love the jersey
Can he just not have 1 off season. Hes run himself to the ground his whole career. If he still isn't preforming well next season, then we can have this conversation.
Gyökeres at full back let's gooooo!
He’s just been found out, needs to adapt his game, no way is he a striker, his finishing and ball striking isn’t good enough
What if bulayo saka wa…….good ffs
He’s playing in the wrong sport.
He's playing the wrong sport, he'd be amazing at rugby the way he passes sideways and backwards 😂
Ok

Shut up. Before y'all wanted gyokeres, now y'all want saka up front. please just shut up for once.
