Country: England
Player:Saliba
For some reason he’s not as deep as other CFs Arteta’s played. Particularly Laca. That’s why the pass map isn’t the usual U shape against Leicester. I imagine he said to Arteta, “Look bro, I’ll play that deep if you want, but why not give me a chance to score some goals up front ffs”.I was confident that he would be good but he's one of those cases where you really have to watch a player regularly to appreciate his ability. He's got so much more talent than I thought he did even watching him play really well at City. He seems to really be rising to the challenge of being the main man and it's great to see. He contributes so much to our general play with and without the ball. That first goal yesterday is one that very few would even attempt to finish that way and it's nice to have another player who can create something out of absolutely nothing on the end of play but also contribute to the build up. Couldn't be happier with him so far.
