Bukayo Saka: Little Chilli

[Oxeki]

His

I settled on a central role about a year ago. In this era of wingers basically being strikers I'm not too sure if that's where he'll end up.

His skill set screams attacking midfielder to me. I don't really want him finishing off moves, I see him starting them. I look forward to seeing him under a top manager.

Shooting technique is not that bad. I think he just lacks composure. That will come with time.

Sterling was one of the most profligate finishers I've ever seen( he still misses a lot of sitters at times) but now he's scoring 25+ per season.


It doesn't help that we create one big chance per game.

I just want to give a grain of salt to this

(EPL, EUFA, FA, EFL)
20/21 13 goals
19/20 30 goals
18/19 25 goals
17/18 23 goals
16/17 10 goals
15/16 11 goals
14/15 11 goals

Biggest change being that he moved to Manchester City. We'll see...

This guy is so humble and always listen a star in making imo. Fantastic goal today next season will be more fun

 

[boonthegoon]

Good finish today. Hopefully he keeps it up.

Good finish today. Hopefully he keeps it up.

Yeah I really love when the keepers get faded on their near post, Mbappe loves doing it.

Anyway he's the golden kid, I don't even need to say anymore.

 

[AberGooner]

He's missed a few lately no doubt but a great finish tonight. Whatever happens from now till the summer this kid has been the highlight of this season by a country mile.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Excellent performance and acknowledged the fans. I'm delighted with his goal too. Him and Pepe putting in performances like this will give us the closest we've had to Freddie and Bobby P. I love how he said "we look forward to the next opponent" when Emery was mentioned. Wonderful young man and player

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

This is how first season in top level and have 14 G/A. He'll only get better.

He struggles mainly with one v one opportunities, but he has a good shot on him. Like to see him cut in more and have a go, although EPL teams won't give as much space as Europa league competition.

For those who missed it: Saka post-match interview and fwiw BT Sport (Keown et al.) discussion.

Hope he wins the Golden Boy this year. Can only see Foden as a competitor.

 

[Trilly]

Sometimes his touch seems a bit off though. I legit believe if he had Iwobi's level of touch and footwork combo, he would very close to world class level already with all his other attributes.

Iwobi man, ah what could have been. I think a lot of fans didn't realise how technically gifted he is.

Foden is phenomenal, crazy how he's forced himself into the city starting line-up at the expense of Sterling.

Think he'll win the golden boy considering the hype and being a city player. I wouldn't swap Saka for him though.

 

[Trilly]

Saka has a better shot than Sterling has ever had imo and I'd back him to become more composed than Sterling with time. He might never be ice-cold in front of goal but could easily see him getting a 20 goal season at a Man City.

 

[Geofranco]

Iwobi man, ah what could have been. I think a lot of fans didn't realise how technically gifted he is.

Iwobi had all the physical and technical attributes, just needed a better mentality. I don't know how they didn't figure out he was not cut out to be a final third player in the academy. They really should have trained him to a CM. With his build, if he had better passing range and positioning, he would have been phenomenal in midfield.

Iwobi’s game still needs refinement whenever I see him these days at Everton. We are taking under a legendary manager like Ancelotti.... not sure Arsenal fans will have had much patience with him if he stuck about the last two years

Iwobi has no technical ability at all... he is good at running, that's about it. Still can't believe we sold such a mediocre player for 40 million.

Seiling Iwobi was a certainly a good move bit if you really believe he has no technical ability you don't know much about football.

Hmm.. Have you looked at your name? What is this?

He's a beast, doesn't mean he's good at playing football
