Bukayo Saka: From Starboy to Champion

[Gooner Zig]

He's carried us to no trophies. If we're to win this year he needs to lead again and be better. Supporting cast too

Your post still doesn't make any sense. It implies Saka hasn't stepped up in the past, which just isn't the case. If Saka maintains his level, that's perfectly fine; it's a world class level.

 

[Batman]

That’s too attacking and even weaker team have enough quality to punish you.

No it's not, coward. We have the best back 5 on earth.

The way he fashioned the chance for his goal is something players like Madueke and Martinelli could never do when playing from the "wrong" side

Incisive pass, run into open space, open up body to control the return pass, bang

His football IQ is off the charts

Rice, MLS, Trossard, Gyokeres and Martinelli have all found themselves in that position and completely botched it. Sakaboom just does what he does best.

Without him we're midtable. Even with this billion invested.

In case you missed it we had Madueke doing cute dribbles and then absolutely nothing happening for a bit, the difference with Saka on the pitch is night and day.

I got hammered for going on about his football iq three years ago. Got told it sounded like I was saying he was ‘one of the good ones’ or something. No, the guy is legitimately a football genius.

I could be paraphrasing.

A group of posters on here randomly started calling me a pervert a couple of years ago for giving Saka his props as a brilliant footballer.

There is nothing wrong with playing Saka from the right. He’s world class no matter which side he plays.

But I’ve always felt like he would be an end product machine from the left. Even more so now with a striker like Gyokeres. I hope he plays a run of games on that side at some point.

Manage his minutes, 65 minutes max a game for the foreseeable future.

i dont disagree. My point is we need him at him at best again if we're to win anything and his career needs top trophies for him to be considered world class.

I also hope we havent seen his ceiling and there's more to come.

What a lie bro. Noni laid couple of clutch passes after a dribble but people ran to the wrong areas. Don't disrespect my boy like this!

 

[BBF]

Yeah, he wasn't leaving that game without a goal.

 

[Entropics]

Once again at the heart of everything remotely watchable. What a player

 

[grange]

Why does every club legend except Ian hate the club? We have the worst club legends in sports too.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Thought he was class today.

I don't think any attacker in world footballer shields the ball better than him. He also played a couple of reverse passes that were obscene.

Beautiful pen too. Great way to mark 200 PL appearances for the club!

I don't think that's hate. That's a bona fide legend talking to a legend in the making trying to fire him up even more. Quality gravitates to quality.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

100 G/A in 200 games is great numbers he still pretty young as well only 24 years old.

Trying to fire him up for West Ham? He doesn't need reminded that they lost to West Ham at home twice in a row. Thierry thinks he's the main character.

Fire him up even more is what I said. I sort of agree with you about Henry's ego but I like our legends urging the current top players to greatness.

The timing is my issue - they don't need distractions right before the game. Talking them up on his desk for his shows is fine or making private calls during the week is also fine. I don't want to roll out of bed to see a text from somebody reminding me I was ****. That's why Ian is still the best, imo.
