When he plays for England under 21 with the likes of Damarai Gray he does not look out of place at all. I think it's his personality, he has to be loved and accepted by his teammates and fans before he starts playing with confidence. I was hoping that he was going to emerge as a good dribler, it has not happened yet. But his ability to find space between lines is good. His first touch and close ball control is very good and that shows natural talent. If the goals and assists come, he will become a totally different player. I still have hope.Isn't saka flourishing as a wingback? I don't believe him being played out of position is the reason he's struggling. When he was given chances by Arteta in his favourite position he still put in underwhelming performances.
Since I started watching him, I have never seen him give us an excellent game like Saka or Martinelli. Like I said, I hope I'm wrong. This is not a 'Nelson-bashing post.'
I just feel he doesn't have it in him
