This could help Gyokeres as well. Saka can hold with and send crosses in to the box.
Any winger should be able to play on either side
to be honest martinelli looks more effective on the right
So saka is so good he can play right and left? 😎
He played LW against Newcastle aswell and was instrumental in the build up on the left that lead to both goals. This is something new this season, I'm pretty sure I didn't see him play there last season.. this is a new in game tactical approach by Arteta this season 👏 🙌
For those who don't know. Saka integrated into the first team as a LWB, So Playing LW was a reasonable option instead of restricting him as RW
I have been crying for Saka on the Left Downan on the right ❤
This is actually how psg beat us. They rotated so much that we ended up following players
This is the next evolution of Arteta tactics. And Saka can do it. Interchange/switching could really help Arsenal and I don’t know why Mikel never did it sooner, considering he likes buying players that can play more than one position.
He fantastic cutting back inside though.
It might be PSG inspired
I have been saying this for years , martinelli on right saka on left ore gabi jesus on left martinelli/saka on right
Saka at left madueke at right and gyokeres give them an open area 💯
I remember watching him come through at LB absolutely dominating that side. Good rotating options for when him and madi are both fit
Emery played Saka on the left and Martinelli on the right a lot. Saks played left wing before right wing and did very well
I've been saying that, imagine how variable an creative we could be if all wing players could play on the other side
maduake and saka on the wings will be sick if they rotate during the game!
He has been lethal in front of goal
He was out there giant city as well
Anyone else notice his hair getting longer, messier, and hes started looking scruffier? Shave and a cut mate!
I do believe this is just rotation of players on the pitch. It makes it very difficult for opponent's to defend using this tactic. Dom L foot striker should play RW. It opens the goal up for that foot. If ur a LB u want ur Dom foot on the touch line. Puts u between the opponent and the ball. As u spirt down the touch line. If that makes sense.
He did this before in 2022/2023 season. Switches up play and confuses defenders against low block teams. I am glad to see it being employed again COYG
You can play equally good left or right footed players on either wing, but the way they play is completely different.
Playing them in their natural positions strengthens their weak foot for shooting making them more unpredictable and makes their crossing much more accurate, but in order to do both of those things they need a top striker carrying defenders to open spaces and on the end of those crosses.
Playing them inverted makes their strong foot much more dangerous, they don’t need a striker since they will be the ones striking most of the time, but they’re more predictable and easier to block.
Now Arsenal have elite problem solving for any defense. All trophies are up for grabs this season.
I told this somewhere before, move saka to left and play madueke right (back then when he's not injured) but then got some bitter fans got mad at me and saying im talking nonsense. Saka's first position was left back, what make ppl think he couldnt play left wing??
Without odegard saka is nothing
The most interesting thing for me is how good Arsenal would be when havertz comes back from injury. Arsenal would go on a winning streak. Can't wait!!!! Victor gyokeres will get better by it. Eze role will be affected also
As usual another ‘expert’ giving an opinion on the professional game and on one of the best attacking players in the world. Please do not talk tosh stick to supporting and representing the club in the best possible light otherwise you will gain a reputation like Rooney’s, Neville, Spitty, etc. 😊
Nice
Unpredictability which Arteta has previously refused to try.
I love how all our players can play anywhere
Conversely I think Martinelli plays better on the right
I saw that and I was like that cool if he can switch wings this will help the teams dynamics to break down stubborn defences
Saka left is to trick their opponents.. next week Saka will play left again and then back to right
he played as LW in 19/20 season
At no point you even attempted to explain why this is "genius"
Saka makes everything look easy , his srandard is the highest on team
Hey yo @Woklz football bro, We have been saying the same thing, when most wingers in the world have been swopping wings during games frequently why didn't Saka and Martinelli do the same coz they look comfortable on their playing foot wing position, this would also lead to confusing defenders and avoiding lowblock pressings. Those were the little details that cost us the previous titles and the UCL last season, but not signing Yildiz in the January window will be the reason we won't win anything again

It’s better in my opinion, to have wingers play on their strong foot on their side, because it makes me very unpredictable and causes questions and problems to the opposition, so having saka playing left wing or eze playing on the right knee is a good idea
I would dread having to defend against a Saka Eze Madueke trio, add Calafiori into the mix with him randomly popping out of nowhere on the right wing, it would be pure chaos. Love it
He played there already so its just a hidden play to sink in for team to be more tricky
