Bukayo Saka: New long term deal signed 📝

[Trilly]

One thing about Saka is you’d be very wary to bet on him getting two npg in a game. He’s very consistent but only seems to have 1-2 ‘explosive’ performances a season.

Well Bukayo, I’ve captained you on fantasy football this week so if you’re feeling a first Arsenal hattrick or even a brace with a cheeky assist added on then relegation bound Wolves at home would be a brilliant time wouldn’t it mate?

Thanks.

It’s even amongst my friends bro, people whose football opinions I respect. There seems to be a mental block when it comes to Saka.

But the response is so easy. It’s: “I guess you don’t rate Saka as highly as I do because he should be doing better than this”. Then they’re silenced for the most part

To be honest Sakas' floor is just incredibly high so it's kinda expected that he gets fairly little criticism.
It's easy to fault a player who drops a stinker, Saka never does though. He is just way too good with his movement and the way he uses his body. People still underestimate how important that is to our control of games.
Get the ball up to Saka and he will retain it.

You could see that Vs Brugge, we had literally no control of the game and couldn't release their pressure at times. Nobody to really hold on to the ball.

It was all him today.

Clutch. Doesn't matter if he plays well or not, he always delivers and that's why he's undroppable.

 

[BenTal]

It's just him honestly. Solely carries the team over and over again

 

[Gooner Zig]

I guess he won't be credited with any assists which is mental because he created both goals and should have created the opener in the first half with that sublime cross on his right foot.

Captains performance took initiative. The G/A won’t reflect it but it was like the game against Fulham away.

One of maybe 2 or 3 players who shouldn't be returning their wages this week. We should have opened the scoring on his cross in the first half and been out of sight. He has kept us afloat in this bad spell while still not really being at his best. I still feel that moving him to LW and putting Madueke at RW will unlock this team in certain fixtures.

pretty much our only consistently good attacking player that hasn't been broken by Arteta, he's bullet proof.

Like you said consistent Arteta nothing in his hand to keep you consistent it comes from player himself Saka is super talent the other attackers we got are not so they'll do well in games and stink in others.

We have never switched wings with him during matches and it does my head in, with Madueke in, it just seems so, so obvious, that I'm convinced we won't see it happen.

We have a couple of times this season. He scored a nice goal from LW earlier this season when he was interchanging. I would have to think back to which match it was. We have done it intermittently though with him and Madueke on the pitch at the same time and it has worked well.

I feel like setting up some own goals should count as assists, maybe with the goal panel getting involved to judge if the action constitutes an assist.

He definitely deserves an assist for that first goal.

because martinelli who struggle against low block play at left wing so our attack only one side that is saka

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

i hope the PL credit him with two assists yesterday i see the first goal they give Saka assist not sure about 2nd goal.

The second goal is more deserving of the assist than the first imo.

It's such a weird season so far in terms of output for Saka - leading the league in xA but only has one assist in the PL

yeah no wonder when his teammates are doing their best to miss the chances there also chance at 1st half where he put amazing ball not sure what Gyokeres was waiting for then of course Martinelli shot got blocked. he shaked his head he really can end season with 15 league assists if his teammate stop trolling.

i feel the best chance Saka get assists nowdays is taking corners and Gabriel scoring from it
