      @@JR01015 talk about out of context. He did not say he was not playing well. What he was talking about was, the consistently high level that Mainoo is doing game after game. He was saying Saka had good (great) games but that he was not performing consistently at the same high level every game and to be honest there are not many that have ever done that. So not uninformed just a completely different point to the one you are trying to make.
      Also, the big point about Mainoo is his composure and decision making. As a Man Utd fan we can only look on jealously at your right wing and enjoy watching Saka be such a great direct dribbler right-wing player.
      Personally, I do not like comparing players as one better than another, especially in 2 such different players it does not make sense but I do think we are looking at this the wrong way. Saka is often used as a yardstick precisely because he is and was so good when he was a youngster. He also forced his way into the team at an early age and the England set up so these similarities might be why we are comparing them??
      I just think we need to take the whole comment as a paragraph and not a sentence. Maybe??

      What people need to realise that Saka hit 100 goal contributions by the time he played 210 games in all comps for Arsenal. Some of the greats in the game don’t have them numbers. C Ronaldo had 7 contributions less after 210 games.

    Saka was doing this at 18 turning 19. Just like Mainoo will… Saka played in the euros at 19 (Mainoo turns 19 next month) and despite the penalty miss? Saka was one of Englands best players in the tournament. The following season Saka dropped 18 G/A’s in the prem without a true striker up front.
    Mainoo is a magnificent talent. But we don’t need to use Saka as the benchmark for everyone. You could say Jude? Or Foden? Or Rashford? It’s not always Saka. I’m noticing a lot of pundits say he’s not world class, but they use him as the pinnacle of measuring success as an English talent in 2024. Quite sad.

      Saka was mad bro, we aren't saying he wasn't. On pure talent, I'd say him and Kobbie came into the England squad on almost the same levels. The thing with Kobbie that's different, and what sets him apart from Saka, is you could see that Saka was playing like a youngster at the time. He was exciting. Kobbie has been here all of two minutes and looks like he's 34 years old with the ball. I don't know how else to explain it. You watch him feel like you're watching a much older player. It's more than exciting. It's awe-inspiring.

    The biggest plus for Mainoo is that at such a young age, he's super calm on the ball and his composure on the ball in tight spaces with opposing players around him is very very rare. I can't remember having seen a player possess that and show it on the EPL and international stage at 18. I mean, his little dribble past 2-3 Liverpool players in that FA Cup quarter-final was just......you see that, and you'd just go, "Where did that come from? This guy is only 18 and this is only his first season?"

Because he’s the real deal if Rival fans cry about him or not,Many fans agree and have came to the same conclusion after the England matches.That hes world class,Yes,As a youngster,He’s special.

      I agree entirely . Mainoo is something special alright . Just to see him come on against brazil and change the temp of the game to walk around the pitch and literally take the piss out of them . He was playing like modric nobody could get near him .
      I think what really sets him apart from modern midfielders today is he really seems to understand the tempo and flow of the game and has the skill set to do it .
      In the recent match of Liverpool vs City . The game was played at 90 mph . None of the midfielders on the pitch were able to get hold of the ball and slow it down . Not rodri or mccalister .
      People say rodri can control a match , while he can to a degree . He is not great at it . He is no modric , scholes or pirlo that's for sure .
      I don't rate mccalister he is talented playmaker but in the world cup when argentina were 2-0 up against holland and france . He let them back in the game .
      The only criticism i would have of mainoo is that he doesn't seem to have that long range passing or switches of play that scholes had . At least if he does I haven't seen it yet .

He’s also had bad personal issues and therefore I’m 100% in agreement with Flex, 1 of the hardest players on the pitch, gives his everything too. Give him a chance that’s all we ask.

    I can see what he means when he says it, I don’t think he should be a 6 like Rice (though even he isn’t a pure 6), Mainoo is more of a less refined Gundogan or something like that, just doesn’t quite have the goal threat to be the 8.5 just yet I don’t think

      Saka was consistent the moment he first played in the first team at 18.
      Saka isn't this flashy player with ridiculous pace or ridiculous dribbling.
      It was Saka consistency, his decision making and maturity that impressed fans, rival coaches, pundits.
      Saka week in week out performances was why he was being praised.
      People were questioning Saka ceiling and never about his consistency.
      Saka biggest strength was his consistency & decision making.
      People were saying he was at his peak at 19.
      Saka isn't super quick or have crazy dribbling.
      Saka always made right decision on the pitch, never lost the ball, great weight of pass.
      Saka was playing everywhere on the pitch performing.
      Saka was balling out at Central Midfield, Attacking midfielder, left back and on both wings.
      Saka broke through at LW, shining there, standout player away at Old Trafford in his first PL start.
      He however cemented his starting role at Left back after injury crisis to both Tierney+Kolasinac.
      Saka was a smart footballer who can adapt & adjust to multiple positions & change his game for the role.
      When he was playing in midfield he was naturally great with ball retention, strong in duels, good passer, gifted ball carrier and so got the team up the pitch.
      Saka is great in space and recieving passes on the half turn which allowed him to be so comfortable in midfield.
      Saka at Left back use to beat players 1 v1 and whip great crosses into the box or cut backs.
      Saka debut season at 18 had the 3rd most assist by a PL player with 12 assists.
      Saka at 19 in his 2nd season was Arsenal best player.
      Saka from age 20-22 in the last 3 seasons was both Arsenal topscorer & top assist provider.
      He was Arsenal best player during top 4 race, title race and now again in title race.
      Saka last season was runner up in PFA Player of the year at age 21.
      Rival Premier League players voted Saka as the 2nd best player in the league.
      Rival managers always rave about Saka, always put 2-3 players on him every game.
