Yeah he was brilliant at the basics, kept it simple, short passes elite and his movement into space was worth praising. I think with time as an wide forward people really needed him to start contributing goal/assists wise and it just wasn't coming off for him and people got frustrated. For his lack of goals/assists I wanted to try him in midfield because he had that passing and dribbling a modern game desire from CM. But there would have to be a lot of defensive coaching I think.
All in all, I wanted to give him this season before we totally gave up on him but I think the move benefits all parties!
Saka just turned 18 so he can easily surpass Iwobi contribution in next 2 years. I hope he does!

Only tough love is going to work now for Pepe! No more silk gloves!
With that said, I have high hopes for him in next few months! Hopefully we will see something to get excited for!

He hit a mean 30 yard free kick in some random u21 game for England last season aswell. I'll see if I can find it.
EDIT:
Saka has definitely stolen a march but I'm defo not ruling Nelson out.
In my opinion Nelson's qualities look like he is suited to playing a support striker. One of those forwards with great positioning and really important touches and finishes. I've seen his cute link up play, he looks so comfortable doing it, I dont think he's as good as Saka out wide.

He won the PL2 POTS after playing as a 10 for the season. He is similar to someone like Dybala. The problem is, second strikers are a dying breed so he’ll probably get shifted out wide which probably doesn’t suit his skillset.

Saka struggled quite a bit today. I have no idea why Emery moved him to the 10 role. Honestly one of his most peculiar decisions here. I don’t like the idea of him on the left wing with Kola as I feel it limits what we can do with the ball when Saka receives it.

One of few that i am okay with tonight. I think he did well, with very little help from other players.
The "dive" was nonsense. I think it would have been reasonable to give a penalty for that, and it certainly was not worth a yellow.

I think he can still work wide. I actually think LW in front of Tierney is a good spot for him. They have a good connection already and it allows Nelson more room to operate inside. That said, it would be better for all the attackers including the youngsters if we had a better attacking game plan.
I actually think he was OK but it was hard for him to get into the game because of how unstructured our attack was.

Difficult game for him. Manager trying to destroy him in the last 15...

Think this experiment needs to end. He's obviously not ready.

Are you serious??? This is the very first game that he has failed to impress since joining the first team, in a game where none of our players bar Pepe impressed anyway.
Sheffield clearly bully him off he is still lightweight for this level he tried but whole team struggled offensively ti be fair

Probably the most knee-jerk irrational post of the day.
Saka has been phenomenal till this game. Still he wasn't hopeless just far less effective than usual. In fact this was basically an Iwobi level performance.
Considering he's playing for a manager who can't create a thing going forward, refuses to play his better players and then moved Saka to CAM, we should give him a break.

We have no other LW who is better. Or do we want our best striker to play there?

Not great last night. but he could have had a penalty and an assist.

Wish we still had Iwobi tbf, more of a natural playmaker and Pepe-Auba-Iwobi would have been quality.
