Bukayo Saka: Saka The Net

[MaraDon]

If for whatever reason Ødegaard is unavailable I would rather see Saka in this position than anyone else in our squad.

I still believe in the Vieira project.

I still believe in the Viera project.

I haven't given up on Fabio either

 

[MaraDon]

Thought this was interesting after all the slander Saka has been getting this season, while the sun apparently shines out of Foden's arse

Saka takes penalties, but yes, they are both great.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

I'd like to see Vieira RCM and Ødegaard LCM as I think Vieira could easily interchange with Saka when we've got the ball as he's played comfortably as a RW a few times. Could make for an interesting dynamic.

 

[Riou]

Fabio looks the type of player that would be perfect in video games, but just doesn't work in real life...he's got a lot of ability, but something just seems off (especially in the very physical and fast English league)

I absolutely do not want to see him in a midfield 3 with Ødegaard either, think that would negatively affect Martin's game too much.

my vision of it was:

Ødegaard will sooner or later leave/have a big injury, we need to start preparing someone to cope internally with it.

But I do agree I see so much of Bernardo Silva on Vieira that is such a temptation try to developing him on the wing.

How many are Saka penalties? I don’t know, just asking.

Think he's scored 4/5 pens in the PL

Seems like Nwaneri will be the heir to Odegaards position in case he gets injured or leaves in the next few years.

Vieira is talented, but it looks like he just lacks physical power. Even Bernardo Silva looks more athletic and robust in his play.

 

[Geofranco]

I wouldn’t mind seeing Jesus given a shot either.

He has the attributes- possibly the best ball retention in tight areas in the squad, tactical awareness, vision, defensive output.

Paradoxically he might even score more goals there once you take away the burden of goal scoring which clearly weighs him down.

Honestly feel Jesus best position is still CF, but for it to work Martinelli and Saka would have to become really clinical. Jesus was looking like a top 10 player in the world the first half of the 2022/2023 season before the world cup and the injury. He is not an elite finisher, but his game is so well rounded and technical that he could thrive in that CF role if he didn't have the injuries.

Ever heard of Google?

Not swapping our lad for that thunder helmet.

 

[HaffBR]

Saka is a good winger, a correct winger in a good setup, but he isn't world class, he isn't electric - eletric pace - and his play shows more pattern than intuition and genious. He has no major flaws tho, but not special, X factor either.

Some clownish Arsenal fans put Saka over Ljungberg in our best premier league 11, madness the same Ljungberg who turned up in our business end of the season multiple times.

 

[Batman]

Just not good enough today. Even though the numbers are better, the guy hasn't been the same player since the Kardashian curse last year. He was needed today and didn't show up and we know he's capable of it.

 

[A_G]

Needed more from him today, that’s the kind of game your talisman steps up in. Made some micro mistakes that cost him: on that amazing pass from Ode, he took a poor touch which meant the angle closed in on him. Also had some poor deliveries on his right foot in promising positions.

 

[MutableEarth]

Like Rice, he was just kinda there. Ran out of steam in the 2nd half. Can't say he was poor but he wasn't good. Wasn't really in the game very much.

 

[Tourbillion]

Garbage but he's not the only one.

 

[Buhry]

Been pretty crap for a while now outside of that Bayern goal. What no rotational option does to a mf over a long season i guess? Ran out of steam last season too.
