  • The Scary Truth About Bukayo Saka Nobody Is Noticing
    Wasn’t it a few weeks ago that football fans were saying Bukayo Saka hasn’t been good? And suddenly out of nowhere he’s one of the player of the season contenders? Interesting.
    Bukayo Saka has been one of the best players in the world for a while now, twisting and turning defenders and scoring goals for fun. He is one of the leading goal contributors in the world with 16 goals and 15 assists in 35 games. But what is so special about Bukayo Saka?

    watching a kid that loves the club so much emerge from the academy to cement his place in the first 11 while your club gradually moves away from mediocrity and inches closer to being as great as it once was is something you can't explain to people. its something you have to experience. and once you go through all that, you will understand why AFC fans love Bukayo Saka so much

      @@abzigwe3656 What Kai does get unnoticed by people who lack tactical insight. He presses, wins aerial duels, helps in keeping possession through his ball retention, creates spaces for his wingers and his ten by either stretching or compacting the opponent back line, creates dummy runs for players like Ødegård and Trossard to be free during a cross in the box, always has his presence in the box for crosses from both his wingers and midfielders. He is a space interpreter. It’s the role that Muller does at Bayern. Vs City and Liverpool we saw this. He confused Konate and VVD like they were the defenders of a mid table side, got Konate both of his yellow cards. In the Community Shield he was running in the box during crosses from White and Saka, if Ortega was absent then he may have gotten 1 or 2 goals. In the league vs City, during the goal, Foden and Ake both pressed him but he was still able to keep the ball and pass it to Martinelli. In this Arsenal side, every player is equal in terms of tactics. Zinchenko is as important as Ødegård and Cedric is as important as Jesus.

    To say those players failed the club is both inaccurate & unfair. Ramsey was having a magnificent season when he suffered a terrible injury which was not only debilitating to him but the club as well. It was an era when Wenger was forced to trim his squad to pay for the move to the Emirates. Add Diaby & Eduardo all happening in a relatively short space of time showed that Arsenal got very little protection from the dark arts of football. Fabregas got his head turned by Barcelona, who wouldn’t when the city you was born in are best on the planet

    It's funny I was thinking about Arsenal's squad and the fact we've literally tied up all our star players to long-term contracts.
    And in particular in Rice and Havertz, I genuinely think we signed two world-class players.
    Rice is obviously the signing of the season irrespective of his 105m price tag. And compared to Rodri's signing and salary, Rice isn't that much more expensive.
    Havertz was expensive, but the fact we beat Real Madrid to his signing it really was a matter of put up or shut up.
    But comparatively speaking, signing two young world-class talents for 170m isn't crazy expenditure. Hopefully we don't have to replicate this strategy this summer? ❤😂

    Saying he "never refused to give up" might not mean what you wanted to. Otherwise, nice vid

    Saka knows when to dribble and pass the ball. This is the difference between him and Martinelli.

    This video lacks some research, unai Emery deserves a lot of credit for sakas development…. Also smith rowe and willock…. But Mikel has failed those two, that’s to not to say football is a harsh world and arsenal are flourishing… when Wenger came in he binned off Ian selley, Chris kiwomya, Glen helder, Paul Merson, John Hartson…. All barring Merson could be said as promising players prior to his arrival… so I take my hat off to Mikel for being ruthless, hopefully smith Rowe can get back to the standard
