If it had to be one of the two, I am glad it’s the humble grounded one.

Is that one of those find the piece which doesn’t belong type of riddles?

We’re really fortunate to have this guy. Imagine having this shite season without him. He’s the shining light and the future of this club.

No worries, Martinelli would have stepped up and banged them in

Not trying to over hype the kid, but Arteta really does owe this young man a lot. Honestly have to give it to my bro @Electrifying and respect Hale End. Them man been pulling through for us.

you know it G. To be fair he’s been a major contributing factor but yeah that line is a bit over board.

How many assists? How many goals? 
Saka’s been class since Arteta stopped playing him as a left wing back and positioned him at right wing. This is true.

Kids unreal but honestly ignoring Auba’s brace- which could be argued is his job- it was Tierney that took us through to the next round.
You would wonder if these kids even watch the games or just wank lyrical hyperbole to get the Reddit upvotes.

Now this won’t be popular but I think you have to give Arteta some credit for Saka development.
Clearly this is one individual talent he has backed and trusted.
There seems a mutual respect from the player as well.

Definitely, had Emery or Freddie remained last season Saka would be a nailed on left back coming into this season, possibly backup too.
Even when Arteta initially played him there he always mentioned that the kid can do even more. I feel like most of the transitions in formation and tactics we’ve gone the past year was heavily influenced by where he could fit Saka and maximize his offensive contribution.

Will be heartbreaking when City buy him and convert him to a left back slash ten. 
All joking aside, I wonder if we might rest him tomorrow. He’s play a lot of football and even though our season is basically pointless, I don’t want Arteta be able to use a long term injury to Saka as an excuse for his shitty results as a coach. Ideally Saka could have the summer off but I think he’ll end up going to the Euros right?

In his brief time as manager I’ve found Arteta very unwilling to rotate. He’s gonna stick with his best 11. Logic says he drops ESR and Ceballos. I think it will only be Ceballos, with Partey replacing him.

I think both Emery & Arteta handled Saka’s development well. His stint at left back in 523 formation was essential.

Not a smart move dude. You gonna get executed OA style praising Arteta.

He impressed in pretty much every position he’s played in but RW looks to be the ideal position to keep him in now.

I think Saka is still quite raw. His first touch can be quite heavy at times and still needs a lot of work IMO. His attitude is fucking second to none and is quickly becoming a star. We should look after him to avoid burn out though.
