    It’s crazy the narrative people are giving that the league is over as Liverpool are 9 points clear. Liverpool have spent £12m for a player that hasn’t even featured, has a new manager and new set up and it’s a real competitive season. It’s a lazy narrative to push they’ve bottled it 😴. We still have 20 games left, so much can still happen

    Saka will not be the reason for them not being in the race. Arsenal's goal scoring is well distributed throughout the team. Cook can wish for it as much as he wants. As for Liverpool, every club goes through a point-dropping spell at some point in the season. So the race is still on at this time. Cannot say the same for Man Utd.
