Just thought id throw it out there, he has 8 goals and 10 assists and the nedia treat him like he's the second coming. Nunez has 8 and 8 assists all season and hes nowhere near good enough apparently. You live and learn
Sakaโs new hairstyle is his bad omen
Most people are failing to notice that Arsenal were good last season because they had only the league to play. Even that, they became tired at the end. So this year is another experience. Playing almost the same 11 all the time is very demanding. Saka, Martinelli, Odegaard, the 3 at the back ( forget about the left backs), and not the least Rice are essential to every arsenal game. If just one of these is missing or in poor form it shows immediately. You could see how Rice was not able to catch Jota for Liverpool 2nd goal. He looked absolutely knackered
Few months ago he was Ballon D'ore ๐ข how easily fans and corruption could flip on you ๐
Sakas greatest strength has always been his physicality. But his creativity, flair, dribbling has always been poor and he's so predictable every time.
That's why doubling up on him works, every time.
There is almost always a set of starts to favour most ppl e.g Starts suggest thstSaka has improved this season
Great Analysis from pundits
You DO NOT put a football club on the back of a kid. Yanited did this to Rashford, and burnt him out already. And now Assna is doing the same to Saka. Two unbelievable talents, but their club's inability to back their players with help, and instead insist on a kid to score all their goals and create all their chances is utter madness. Saka plays almost every minute of every game, and you now wonder why is he tired, and why his output has dropped off? Smfh.
I think saka and odegaard disappear when it gets physical
Funny seeing people on here comparing Saka to Salah without mentioning the difference between TAA and White on the ball. The goal Salah scored against Arsenal pretty much sums up the difference there. I'd almost go as far as to say that Saka is more dangerous for England than Arsenal because of Walker and England's more direct style.
The disrespect the clogged gunners comparing saka to Salah ๐คก๐
A โmad manโ? ๐๐๐ Thatโs not what Craig said, he said heโs a โmarked manโ. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Saka needs a REST! Hes no robot.
Havertz is just not good enough
ARTETA IS TO BLAME
The Arsenal forward line are just too predictable. Compare that with Liverpool who have 5 forwards able to cause total chaos
As an Arsenal fan I think Saka peaked last season and had a freakish form. This season he is just coming back down to his natural level of mediocrity.
Looking at all his performances in big games, tournaments and important moments including last season, He doesn't have it mentally to become world class player. You either have it or you don't. He is a world class Bottler. Not made for the big moments or pressure.
Lol Craig saying ben white is solid but walker makes runs up and down the flank comparing him to trent๐ ๐ ๐
Ya'll compared him to Salah all that burden on his shoulders he bound to be fucked mentally.
Saka is a diving cheat. Perhaps if he focuses more on creating than throwing himself on the ground, his form will improve.
Saka can never be better than when sterling was at his peak… simple fact. Is he even better than peak mayrez?? Nope.
Arsenal fans took too much of a big bite to the point they wanted to compare themselves to RM and Barca. Reality check
Saka is just having a few bad games he is young baller proven 3 seasons now with some of the worst Arsenal side
