      @@kevinedwards278 Partly the reason for his ghosting is that he becomes fatigued/burnt out. He pretty much played more than any other arsenal player last season, certainly in an attacking position and in fact has done for the last few seasons. There's been an over reliance on him tbh. We need a better back-up/healthy competitor for Saka, so we don't need to rely on him so much and can rotate him and keep him more fresh. Hopefully we can bring someone in this summer...

    Saka is such a unique player. He’s got that wiry frame keeps his body close to ground and very elusive in terms of dribbling. He’s so agile it’s hard to know which direction he’s going and he can pull out a trick in his locker. I think he’s at a different level now playing on the right which I had no idea he could do. You can just see from his decision making always got his head up and executes brilliantly. Great in combination aswell he has that wide playmaker Arsene Wenger ball dna installed in him.
    Shades of Lemar malouda and di Maria about him. He’s growing as a goalscorer aswell from the right pas 10-12 games his numbers have been insane. I think he lacks top level speed or ball striking ability right now to be classed as elite. I still think Callum Hudson Odoi is a bigger talent but has been very unfortunate in his situation at chelsea they don’t have a plan for him. Saka has had that gametime and he’s grasped it with both hands credit to him. I love him as a player.

    • @nostalgicbliss5547
      @nostalgicbliss5547 Před 3 lety +7

      I don't think Odoi is a bigger talent. Odoi is a bit bigger and more explosive, a better one v one player than Saka, but I believe Saka has superior football intelligence. Saka is also a better all around technician. I really see the Di Maria and Iniesta vibes with him. He is not a refined as those guys, but he is still so young. He has attributes of an elite playmaker in the future.

      @@nostalgicbliss5547 intelligence? Cho vision and playmaking is up there with the best itw already he has angles. It’s never highlighted because there’s a msssive misconception of him as a player he’s seen as a dribble heavy head down player which is far from the case. Plus the position he plays now is absolutely disgraceful from Tuchel in my opinion.

    • @PythagorasinBoots
      @PythagorasinBoots  Před 3 lety +11

      Afraid I will have to side with @nostalgicb bliss although there is some truth to your words. I am a fan of CHO, it has really frustrated me how his progress has bottlenecked but he is definitely not just a pace merchant and potentially quite a complete orthdodox winger. He's not a hit and hope crosser but does indeed pick a man.
      Having said that, Saka much more intelligent and playmaking at a higher level for me. His 1 v 1 play not as strong as CHO and not as athletic but he has more guile. Pound for Pound - who will reach a higher peak respective to their own position, I back Saka to be more likelier to hit his own potential.

    • @mashwork6615
      @mashwork6615 Před 3 lety +4

      @@PythagorasinBoots let’s agree to disagree. If you look at playmaking metrics like passes into the penalty area, xA, key passes, crosses into the box, shot creating actions per 90 CHO actually ranks alongside likes of Grealish and KDB in those metrics who are the best creators in the league. I hope Callum can get that bayern move in the summer he’d be far more valued and get to play in his best position which is Lw but he’s been mismanaged by 3 managers at chelsea and their board unfortunately their priority is big money signings as always otherwise they’d never had signed a Werner or Ziyech.
      But I get your point right now I back saka aswell to hit bigger heights I think he’s terrific
