Saka is quality - issue is the manager lack of quality in out attack and how predictable we are. Poor Saka has to attack and defend while everyone knows we will pass to him. So he has 2 or 3 players on him with limited options.
The boss really has done a poor job up front - quality defence and quality midfield but he's turned both Eze and Ode into play sideways or backwards first type of players plus playing very deep.
How many of these beat - Pires, Overmars, Henry, Freddie or DB10. Back when we played.
Viktor - ?
Kai - give me a break
Jesus - seriously
Trossard - hmmm
Saka - close
Martinelli - nope, he's like Tony Dailey or whatever that fast Vila player was like. Fast but .
Ode - ?
Eze - shadow of the player he was
Jesus, Kai and Vik are an embarrassment of £150m and over 650k per week in wages
He's really assembled an very expensive ineffective attack that he gets the least out of due to his style of play and lack of courage
Has he improved any of our forwards? If not - get someone to help you
Let's not pick on Saka because if we play at a snails pace his job is very hard, if 3 are on him then who is free and why can't Ode shift the ball .

Bit harsh on Kai, he's barely had a kick of late. I don't like Jesus' mentality. I forget the game, maybe Sunderland, but we scored, and he ran around shouting 'we've won' at everyone, and, of course, we then conceded a late equaliser and did not, in fact, win.
Viktor seems mentally crushed by the reality that he's half a yard off everything in this league. Eze is struggling to adapt to Arteta ball, but I think he'll be decent when he does, or if we change things.

Hi, SirWenger. Kai has his place in the squad, but when we are talking about the quality of players I listed that made us special, where does Kai fit into game-changing moments and taking chances in tight games? Flipping a game on its head by himself? These individuals had that in spades, and we miss it.
Saka is the closest to it. Everything is on the shoulders of a 24-year-old. That boy might not be world class, but he's bloody special. Rice is right up there. Where in our attack has the boss signed an attacker of that standing? It's on him 100% with style, tactics, signings, and a lack of bottle.

I was replying to you, calling him an embarrassment.

I don't understand - sorry, mate.
