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.

                • IBL likes this.

                  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?

                          He's levels above Foden.

                          It's such a juvenile comparison from Rio. I wonder what he was thinking. I like Saka's no comment reaction. Just let your football and history prove him a dumb idiot.

                          Yeah, find it really surprising that after he left Arteta's team he didn't end up getting a management job somewhere as think he showed a lot of promise with limited support when he was caretaker.

                          But if this means he's back involved in the academy, I'm sure it's only to our benefit.

                            Saka is great but I’m going to judge him very harshly v how he does v Porto in the 2nd leg.

                            If you’re genuinely going to be WC level these are the games that you have to show your worth especially as our talisman.

                            I can’t wait for Porto game as it will reveal a lot about us from manager to player.
