Every argument for Saka playing could almost certainly be used for Eze starting. Plus Eze has a CV of playing at CM in the Premiership. I’d give Eze 60 minutes to show he’s worthy of a starting place here. Thought he was unfortunate to lose his place when Captain no bollocks returned. Eze’s form is stinky. Do or die for him. If he plays a starring role in 6 points against Wolves and Spurs - this is impact. If he bombs again then he becomes the Norgaard of our attack.
Not convinced Saka is 100% fit so let’s ease him back. If we want the plural version of a trophy, a fully fit and hungry Saka is essential. He’s essential for us to win one really as he’s our best attacker by a margin.
Eze has had two good games this season, Spurs and Wigan. I’d imagine Saka would have had way more success there than he has had if Saka had the same minutes in that position.
He (Eze) was pivotal in us getting 3 points vs Spurs and Palace. Plus had defining moment vs City and Bayern.
He has not been good enough but this is the part of the season where we see if Madueke, Zubi, Eze, Gyokeres and Mosquerra are difference makers. Zubi has been quality - the rest (bar Mosquerra and Kepa, who are meant to be bit parts) haven’t moved the needle.
glad he’s signed the new contract, but I still think he’s on the verge of being cooked by 25. Needed the Mads-esque back-up about 3 years ago. Better late than never I guess.
