Almost 1 year to the day since his last away goal in the Premier League

Halloween is over, whyās it getting so spooky in this thread?
Where is this concern for Sakaās contribution coming from?
He missed 4 months out last season due to injury.
Less than two weeks ago he was tearing Fulham and Atleti apart. He was a doubt against Palace because he was ill, still played through it, and then scored the second goal against Brighton to seal the game last week.
In terms of goal contributions heās been top for each of the last 3 season, including the season he missed 4 months out.
Gpr is only saying we need Saka of first half last season back who made 22 goals contributions prior to his injuries.
seems fair.
Thatās fair, but from what heās shown recently he shouldnāt struggle getting his numbers up eventually.
his performances have been below par. Just because weāre winning doesnāt mean that he or anyone else for that matter is free from criticism.
The best thing about all this, is that other people are stepping up to make up for the shortfall and weāre no longer over-reliant on him.
Ever the reactionary.
Iāve done the numbers in in the PL dating back to United at home early December 2024
1348 mins which is just shy of 15 games full 90s worth scattered over 21 PL Appearances
2 open play goals vs Fulham ( his return ) and Leeds at home this season
0 assists
Surprised me the degree of which the lack of productivity has reached tbh.

Fraud?? 
Thatās way too much.
Overhyped? 
Yes. 
Is Saka really physically fit though? He seems to have lost the explosiveness again, was showing glimpses of it few gameweeks ago until he pulled his hamstring.

Looked fit yesterday. Played the whole game too and played across 3 positions(RW, LW and CM).
Sidenote:
Great pen. Bar that weird Panenka against Courtois, his pens are much convincing nowadays.
I know him being the penalty taker has been a topic of discussion but his record is actually pretty decent actually.

He looked as fit as ever in those games against Atletico or Fulham where they couldnāt defend against him.
Could have more production but his performances have been good all in all imo (aside a couple of really weak oneās).
Btw, putting my Madrid hat on for a sec.
(Madrid hat on)
Heād be the perfect RW for Madrid.
Mbappe off the left, Bellingham back to that false 9 role and Saka on the right.
(Madrid hat off)
I hope he stays at Arsenal till he retires.

I mean, he is really good. And if it isnāt obvious by now Iām a huge fan of him, easily my second favourite active player in the world.
If I werenāt a gooner heād be my #1 wishlist signing. Every time I watch Madrid I always wish they had someone like Saka on the right. Havenāt had a decent right winger since Bale and Di Maria.
