Bukayo Saka: The Sak Attack

[2Smokeyy]

Dunno about hate but it took far too long for the forum in general to recognise Saka as a world class player.

I’d say it’s fair given the way people jump at brandishing world class tags to many of our players on here.

I know winning isn’t the ultimate factor but it definitely plays a part for me particularly when you can carry a team during pressurised moments. Consistency is key too.

 

[Let's play Aubamawang]

I have a West Ham mate who hates Saka for this exact reason, can't handle the fact that Bowen is their best player and gets benched for Engand by an Arsenal player.

If he were at the same level as his former captain, maybe he would get a look in.

Bowen's quality, but you would have to be deranged to start him over Saka lol.

Saka has been carrying this team for years tho, he just keeps getting people coming up with weird caveats like "he's not WC until he does it in the CL or for England" etc. but whenever he plays in these tournaments at the top level he just proves how good he is.

That’s true but I’d say it’s more rival fans writing him off than anyone on A-M tbf. If it was off the back of the 22/23 then it was a small sample size to judge him off hence why people had some reservations to label him WC.

Same goes for Ødegaard and Martinelli who a few were skeptical of jumping on the bandwagon to label them as WC.

Some things speak for themselves:

 

[Gooner Zig]

Saka saying what we've all been thinking - still returning to full fitness and not yet at his sharpest.

I also think there's an element of him not quite yet trusting his body 100%. Once that confidence and sharpness comes back, look out.

What a strange take. Bowen is a great player tbh but if he was that good let’s be honest, he wouldn’t be at West Ham.

With not a whiff of interest in him from a proper club in England or abroad either.

 

[LG10]

Dropping a casual 10/10 in what would’ve been an easy 2/3-0 win if he had more quality around him.

The fact that I had to go to page 2 to bump this says how disrespected he still is, world world class

 

[boonthegoon]

Great game despite not getting a g/a

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Thought he was absolutely top class today.

Looks like that little bit of acceleration is back too.

Yep. That was my main takeaway.

Sessengon is no slouch either.

He really turned it on in the second half. This is what I mean when I speak about the ways you can be an effective Captain. This is one, leading by example and driving the team on.

totally agree our second half way better than first half

 

[viktor]

minute 0:42 - 0:44 that exactly how to break mid block or low block

you need move to the space dont stay on your zone, make a move

 

[viktor]

insane man after watch saka individual performance vs fulham, him alone can created a lot chance for us in first half and second half combined,

wow i respect saka a lot in this game he put that performance in tough place away against fulham
