Bukayo Saka (7)

Does it count as an assist if you look after the ball, then give it to a teammate immediately prior to him scoring the penalty?

Unfair on Henry that he didn’t have a Gabriel to kick the ball at

There’s a reason nobody broke the record. Even the likes of Fabregas, KdB and Ozil failed to do so, even when it seemed certain they’d be doing so.

Saka is currently 1 behind Özil at same stage of the season.

Such a selfish player.

He could at least be sharing the assists around to his fellow teammates.

Even as a graph seeing Ozil flatline like that is painful.

Yamal is younger than Nwaneri. :jorginho:

It’s already an achievement he’s already being compared to Saka.

Knew you’d have something to say about that post :arteta4:

10 assists in 13 games.

Need 10 more in 25 games… quite possible

I dare not speak his name. It took a long time for those discussions over him to die.

Did Ozil have any assist from kicking corners??

Saka is great, the numbers look good… just stay cool.

Özil had assists from kicking corners and kicking free kicks

Then what do you say about Kane?
Had to check it out, he finished that (2020/21) season with only 14 assists, only 4 in almost 30 remaining games.

Only says how early form doesn’t have to mean much. But if we do keep playing like this and if Saka only stays fit it surely seems he could easily beat Henry’s record.

You can pick up some pretty ridiculous “assists” very quickly though. Maybe your teammates just stopped banging in your 2 yard passes from outside the box.

When has Saka never been consistent? I don’t remember this criticism ever being laid on him.
