I know nothing about the game, but I’m angry they’re 6-0 up in the 70 min and Saka was still on the pit

Tbf Bellingham played the entire game as well

Did you know you have to run further, faster and sharper to score goals in the 6-yard-box as a wide forward than scoring them from elsewhere? Its the most difficult goals to score. Have to be in peak shape to do it on constant basis.

The positions Saka gets himself into this season - you can't get into those if you don't have any athleticism lol

I think it’s @HighburyHigh who basically posts nothing else

There's a very strong undercurrent of implication from a large section of posters here who heavily imply he's "washed".

The thing is, Saka right now is very functional but still very effective. If he slapped one or two goals top bins people would be raving.

He’s getting the chances at least and we know he can finish, it’s just confidence which will return.

I expect Gyokeres to score tape ins. A washed Ronaldo at 41 scores tap ins. From Saka, I expect / demand the wow factor. Dribble past players, shoot and score from impossible angles and be the player that makes a difference when game ask for it for example vs Brighton. And people here are happy he is providing what squad players should provide. If he is not getting back to his oldself at end of season, Arsenal needs to be seriously thinking about a replacement after LW and CF is fixed.

Gordon on that Barca diet

Are you implying he’s jacked? What does Barca diet mean? He looks like a 16/17 year old who discovered the gym 6 months ago,

Although his build is probably optimal for a winger as he looks electric at the moment.

He’s jacked for a footballer. You think he’s gonna be built like a body builder?

Of course I don’t, hence why I said his build is probably optimal for a winger, but he looks like pretty much any footballer who takes his shirt off after a game, if not skinnier than a lot of them. I was just confused by the Barca diet thing and if you were implying you thought he looked jacked is all.

I know one thing for sure in hindsight, I wish we had signed him.

We never had chance once Barca showed early interest. There’s levels to this

Were Barca in from the start? We would’ve had to break the habit of a lifetime and move quick. He was linked to other clubs like Liverpool and then Barca came out of the blue if I recall.

They agreed the deal in May. There were reports in April he already agreed to the move and Howe publicly said he only wants people who are committed. Barca moved super early and they are bigger and better club

I think Barcelona already had an agreement with Newcastle to sign him a while ago. For the fact that he started to learn Spanish for half a year and the deal agreed that swiftly.
