Bukayo Saka: Little Chilli

[Yousif Arsenal]

I meant at the same time. That’s probably 2017 then I’m guessing?

yes we haven't have more than 1 arsenal player in England squad since theo and Ox left.

 

[Riou]

That was the last time I liked England to a degree, that period where they had Wilshere, Walcott, Welbeck, Ox, Gibbs, Chambers and somehow Jenkinson all in and around the squad...from 2016 on though, they became a bit too Sp**s for me.

Happy for Saka, he more than deserves this...was hoping he would choose Nigeria though.

Little Chilliiiiiiiii

Southgate still including Mcguire, Ward Prowse, Winks and Dier still shows how incompetent he is. I don't even think AMN deserves a call up due to recent dip in form.I wanted to see Lamptey get a call uo instead.

Saka fully does derserve the call up as its long over due. Calvert Lewisn deserved the call up on recent form so I am glad for him too.

 

[Camron]

Finally international break becomes interesting again. Great news for English football.

God is great.

 

[Jasard]

Lol Gareth looks gutted she had to pick him. Get in the bin Southgate.

Edit: she was a typo but keeping it.

 

[Riou]

How could this man not inspire you...


...gimp

Wanted him to chose Nigeria. Really dislike the English set-up. When **** goes wrong, the Arsenal players will be blamed by the media and the English fans.

I didn't think he was great last night.

Unusually for him, he had a heavy touch who h let him down on a number of occassions last night.

What is apparent though, is that he is absolutely miles ahead of anybody else from the academy. Different level entirely. The only one that is comparable is Martinelli who is obviously not a Hale End graduate.

Hoping he starts this weekend.

He actually had some first touches that would make Messi say wow
kid is so special it's insane

superb close control and use of his body both ways, joy to watch

Saka can pull off some very nice touches. Like the one he had before the through ball for the first goal against West Ham, but also looks a little sloppy at times in possession. I said earlier in this thread, if he had Iwobi's ball control and quick interplay, he'd already be close to world class.

as I already said, Saka's touch/close control is immense.
it only lets him down on occasions, usually when he gets heavy legs, like last night, since he works his legs off non stop

When was the last time Arsenal players were blamed for Englands failings?

Was just about to ask this, It’s never happened.

At international level it’s always been the England manager who gets killed.

The media def goes after the players. Just like they did with Sterling. They did it with Rooney too.

The fact is we havent had any significant England players in years. Rooney got grief with red card and Beckhams kick. But not Arsenal players. Havent produced a good England player since Ashley Cole.

That happens in Africa too, if the team struggles it’s the big African players who get criticised no matter what - Drogba, Yaya, Kanu, Eto etc.

Yeah, not since the Seaman, Campbell, Cole etc days.

I just want Saka to play for Nigeria. When things go wrong as they always do with the English national team, the media and fans will turn on the players. I bet anything it won't be the Man United, Liverpool and Sp**s players to get the brunt of the blame.
