Was watching the game with a Man Utd fan.
I could feel him getting stressed with the way we started the second half but he didn’t want to show it.
Moments before the goal when Saka got the ball he was like “Look at this fucking guy, he thinks he’s Mes”, Saka shoots, Saka scores, he shuts the fuck up, I tell him “Maybe he is”.
When he did Rashford’s celebration he was absolutely fuming.
It’s just his confidence and composure that always amazes me, from his very first games…
When you look at the skills, pace etc a guy like Anthony should be a better player. But what separates Saka from most he doesn’t boast with some super skills or some extreme agility/pace, just makes the right moves at the right time.
to think that he isnt even CLOSE to being in his prime yet…carry on like this he is gonna be a totally scary player to deal with (i suppose he already is to a degree).
Went to the start of the thread and saw some old posts. Damn!
He was really slept on.
Some people were adamant about him not being that special of a talent or not having the ability to play as a forward.
I made some wild takes about him back then, I was fully serious though(AC sighting ahead):
Saka is a special, special player.
With Vini’s poor form this season, I think currently he is the second best wide forward in the world behind Mbappe.
Him in the CL next season will be madness. Can see him kicking it up a gear again.
Most underrated moment for me was when we conceded the first goal and the players firing one and other up.
Don’t remember the last time I seen that. Not sure I actually have at the Emirates before.
