Looks back to his best.

Some time off/away definitely helped, and to me it reinforces my concern Arteta over plays him.

    10 league goals for the season and likely to pass his tally from last year. Even more impressive considering he's not played too well prior to the Dubai break

    MistaT definitely a lot more lively and sharp since the winter break. We need to bring someone in who can give him that rest more often. Or maybe just bring in a striker and let Jesus do it because I think if you want someone quality to cover for him they're going to need to play multiple positions. Jesus can do that as good as anyone you are likely to get plus he can play with Saka when needed too. And I think we have to accept that Jesus isn't a 2 game a week player anyway, he needs to fall into the rotation bracket rather than first XI.

      6 months away from being world class imo. Need a big CL campaign and a strong Euro’s and assuming he keeps the numbers up in the league he will our first WC player under Arteta.

      MistaT I think his improvement is also down to Ben White being better as well. He was a lot more isolated in recent months and it was rumoured White had been playing through injury.

        He's playing harder, better, faster, stronger.

        He has that light-footedness back. Was so sluggish before the break.

        HomeSteak Watching this, I think we should be looking to get him involved far more in more central areas/give him a lot more freedom in his movement.

        Last game against West Ham was a good example. When he has someone providing an option out wide, he can take the inside position between the full-back and the CB and be so much more dangerous.

        Hopefully the movement and positional freedom displayed against West Ham is a sign of things to come and not just a one off. The likes of Trossard, Odegaard, White and even Martinelli making runs and occupying defenders on the right gives Saka so much more to work with.

            The video is also a good reminder that he's just as effective playing on the left.

              Looks back to his best again, he definitely looks more fitter and I wonder if he has got over that achilles problem which has been bothering him for a while.

              That right foot finish into the roof of the net is sooo good. Important he is able to use his right because teams will show him down that side.

                He looks like a man now and has a bit of arrogance about him that the greats have. No more happy go lucky little kid. Saka means business now and knows he’s good.

                  Was just talking about Rio Ferdinand saying he wasn't world class with the missus. He may, or may not be, but I'd love to know which current cub side he wouldn't get into. I think he'd start for Manchester City for sure, and if he gets in their team...

                  Rio the dipstick was saying how Saka was not world class as he hadn't done it in the champions league, Saka hasn't even had the chance to compete in it until this season!

                    IBL Rio the dipstick was saying how Saka was not world class as he hadn't done it in the champions league, Saka hasn't even had the chance to compete in it until this

                    In that case he'd have to admit that Havertz is world class.

                      Also kinda insane this is his most productive season already and most of us thought he had a poor first half of the season

                        Clrnc He missed the assist from the Community shield. He is on 15 goals and 13 assists this season.

                          Clrnc If he stays fit no reason he can't be doing 40+ G/A this season, would be unreal numbers

                            Respect to that kid who tried to get Saka to join Charlton 😆

                            Nice to see Freddie still around, wonder what he is up to these days?
