Yeah first goal is what he’s been doing years. Our second goal is what we need to see more from, getting his head up and making the right decision. He’s unplayable if he can start doing that regularly.
The only other thing he needs to work on is getting better outcomes when defenders show him on the outside, could have assisted Jesus if he crossed well on his left foot. Between him Saka and Saliba I genuinely don’t know who’s our best young player.
Think Gabi has the highest ceiling due to the goalscoring potential and lightning pace.
Doesn’t Neymar start on the left too. Love my boy Martinelli but he’s holding the bench. He’s a better option than Raphina and Richarlison though.Martinelli is a different type of player. Should call him up as a backup 100%. If things don't go well Vini goes offline but this guy can give that extra electricity.
Tite seem's to have been experimenting in the recent friendlies, so he's probably still deciding on what will work best. Think Neymar's been played as a 10, as an 8ish, and up front in various roles.Doesn’t Neymar start on the left too. Love my boy Martinelli but he’s holding the bench.

To be fair to Saka, he commands a ton of attention from the defense which opens up space for Martinelli. Now that Martinelli is also producing at a high rate, defenses will look to load up on him as well. Next step for him is to further improve his link up game to exploit this. With Saka and Martinelli both commanding attention and being able to exploit it in tandem, we'll be a monster attacking side.Saka went from being our best attacker last season, to 3rd best this season...that's amazing for us.
