Fearlessness is a useful quality in the young and Saka has that in spades. Really used his acceleration to great effect tonight and showed a real aptitude in the final 3rd when playing passes and crosses. There was real conviction behind actions.
He has definitely put himself firmly in the conversation for much more first team involvement.
Somewhat related but I'm unimpressed with the Nelson comparisons - both are very talented but one is low on confidence and needs support. If - God forbid - Saka loses that confidence temporarily, will the fans turn on him the same way? Let's celebrate Sakas great game without ****ting on another of our great young talents.
