Arsenal

[only1waddle]

This is some pathetic distraction from Arteta, 100% that's come from him.
I wonder if he's having a breakdown earlier than last year!!

 

[spurs mental]

half of those were dives the ref's fell for

No, no, no. You simply don't understand. Saka only dives because he has to get out of the way of the tackles. And something about inverted lateral jump passes.

The pgmol will fold and give them everything like last time. Sadly this works

 

[mark87]

Why have they complained to the PGMOL about this? Is it the refs who are fouling him?

 

[spurs mental]

Per 90 he's not even in the top 20 most fouled, in fact he barely sneaks in to the top 30.

Maybe if Arteta gave him a rest once in a while he wouldn't be at risk of burning out.

Ha

White shirts will certainly stop knife crime LOL

 

[Wig]

If you're a winger / wide forward and a team's best goalscorer, then you're going to get fouled occasionally by opposition defenders trying to stop you getting past and shooting. What do Arsenal expect, a red carpet rolled out for Saka to run through on goal unchallenged?

 

[tommo84]

Ha

Doesn’t that mean that Liverpool will have to wear their red kit? And given that the whole premise was that the red represents blood and so the white kit was intended to symbolise stopping bloodshed on the streets, wouldn’t the away team being dressed all in red kind of defeat the point?

Ive never felt he was close to being to be honest.

Last season he did start to really do it in bigger games but he has dropped again and he also seems to have been sussed.

But I've never felt Arsenal had a generational talent or anything like that on their hands. Not close to what we had with Kane.

I may get pelters for this but Deki is better because he has more to his game.

Deki can operate in other roles and excell. Saka cant.

Typical English player be overrated

Just think Deki had issues under Conte and has had to get back to his level.

Not sure I agree with this. Saka is a bigger talent than Kulu. Kulu gets the ball one on one constantly whereas Saka gets doubled up on. If Saka had kulus space he would have salah numbers this season (by that I mean the same amount of contributions salah has this season

It's a noble gesture, but I couldn't work this out either...

 

[stonecolddeanaustin]

Ha

I think that's a brilliant gesture and should be respected, even more so when considering one of the more recent stabbings was of a young lad from a big spurs supporting family.

Sorry but I simply have to disagree with this. I really rate Saka and think he is a very very good player but he is nowhere near the level of Salah so would simply not be able to replicate his numbers playing for any team.

Saka does not have the vision or passing ability that Salah does, he isn’t as clinical infront of goal and her certainly doesn’t have his pace. Salah is miles clear.

As for Kulu vs Saka, they are actually very different players. I would argue that Kulus best position is ‘10’ whereas Saka is RW. Saka would not be able to play in the role or the way that Kulu does.

 

[E17yid]

Saka has to be one of the most overrated players this season. Him and rice. I’d have Azza and Parker over those man any day of the week.

Saka has his moments for sure and is no doubt a big talent, I much prefer Kulu though personally as a player.

They wore it against Forest last season. Not sure this is something to really needle them about tbh. Seems like a good cause highlighting a horrible problem that destroys a lot of lives. Good on them.

 

[rossdapep]

Pretty much everything has gone right for Saka these past 2 years.

A coach who wants him to play and feeds his confidence.

Meanwhile, Deki has had injuries, Conte drop him unfairly and then played in a team who had given up.

People were also saying he had been figured out.

He is now adjusting and getting back to his best.

Let's see how Saka does under similar circumstances.

I still think Deki has the higher ceiling.

Liverpool will be wearing their purple kit.

Liverpool will be wearing their purple kit.

...to represent what a bunch of helmets they are.

That’s fair enough. Everyone has players they prefer.
I find most fans overrate and have bias towards their own players though which is natural.
I think if you asked any neutral fan who’s better they’d pick Saka personally
