Saka

Sicario2

Saka done an interview with Michael Ward (Top Boy)- will come out on all the Arsenal socials soon. Off the record he said this:

his idol is Cristiano (not Henry which is surprising)
he thinks we are cursed at Craven Cottage (which is odd as weve only lost once there since he played for us)
-loves Trent
-if Real came calling he wouldn’t leave, loves it at Arsenal

Dom

Saka was born in 2001 so prime Henry is definitely before his time.

Appears he is out 8-10 weeks.
Missing our two best players for two separate 10 week spells is the perfect recipe for killing a title challenge. In addition to the normal injuries to guys like White, Merino, Zinchenko etc.

Big Willie

No chance at breaking the assist record now.

Gutting to miss Saka, but we can adapt and push on. We'll probably see more of Nwaneri now so hopefully he's up to it.

Gazza M

the non -scoring brigade are front and centre now. no better time than the present for jesus, havertz, martinelli and trossard to start changing the narrative

USArsenal

Well, they're going to have to or else we will end up right next to City, floundering.

Gazza M

arteta said saka is out for more than 2 months, sounds closer to 3 months

we have to buy a forward in January

Season is a wash.

Gazza M

pretty much. just have to shore up 2nd/3rd. we look capable of dropping plenty of silly points this season

but NEXT year, boy howdy watch us go in year 6 of the project

HomeSteak

So it is now confirmed that he had surgery. So by far worst case scenario for Saka. I hope he is one of the lucky ones and he won't be affected long term

awooga83

HomeSteak yeah that's been my worry about how this will effect him and does it risk taking away from his game.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Luckily he has the attributes to be a world class attacking 8.

Can we now revisit the not giving him any minutes off last year when we were up 3-0 and insisting he play the full 90? Or is it not allowed as it’s a criticism of Arteta?

FEBravo

No, because it's complete bullshit. People need to get out of their feelings and look at the facts.

We had a 3 or higher goal differential 12 times last season. Do you know how many of those games Saka played the full 90 minutes? 1

Between 2000 and 2006, Arsenal had a 3 or higher goal differential 36 times. Do you know many times Henry played the full 90 minutes? 26

flobaba

Last year?

DiabyKungFu

I really fear for Bukayo based on the latest news I've been hearing. I really think he might never be mentally the same after he permanently loses his spot in the starting lineup from this world historical Fabio Vieira remontada.

Don Pacifico

daredevil not that I'm in complete disagreement but worth noting that Henry turned 23 in 2000 whilst Saka has accumulated those minutes whilst only turning 23 a couple of months ago.

Don Pacifico

Between 2005-2008 Arsenal had a 3 or better goal differential 19 times. Do you know many times Cesc Fabregas finished the 90 minutes? 15 times.

Don Pacifico

daredevil genuine question, do we think Fabregas suffered disproportionally from injuries as his career progressed?

Big Willie

Where the hell are you even getting these stats from?

Provides details on every club match through the season including minutes played. Also, provides data on historical seasons which is how I sourced the Fabregas stats.
