One bas to wonder if that's the real reason for him being dropped so often. I know Cala has been excellent this deason and Mykes has been shakey but still, knowing Arteta, it could be something that petty

constant fouls = no yellows

reckless challenge = yellow

What the fuck is wrong with Saka? Dude has ignored Gyokeres every game since he came to Arsenal.

Did Big Dick Vik fuck Sakas girlfriend or something? I mean its getting comical at this point and Arteta should fucking adress it. Even the commentators mentioned it.

I dont disagree, his finishing has been poor lately, but he still got an assist. Look at the last few games and tell me how many we lose/drop points in if we dont play saka. He's got better output than most of our forwards (low bar) even when hes playing shit, so we still need him, but it doesn't mean he needs to be playing the full 90s twice a week.

It looked like Saka could do anything he wanted out there today because he is so strong and techically gifted. To get so little done becaue he made the wrong decision time and time again is extremely frustrating.

He should have had 2 assists because of Martinelli's miss but I think he should have had at least 10 based on the amount of times he got in great positions to make something happen.

Who wants to play a fun game of guess the run with Gyok?

Which ELITE run did Gyokeres make after a beautiful ball from Odegaard to play saka into space with time?

Was it:

Red line: Gyok is in front of his defender and bursts to the back post to tap in the ball played across the goal by Saka.

Yellow line: Gyok continues his run and beats his man, cuts across the back line in front of Brighton's CB and taps in the weighted ball Saka played around the LB.

Green line: Gyok fakes the run inside and nestles into the open space for a first time strike off of the pass Saka cuts back across the box.
>>
>>152687622
Doesn’t matter what run he makes as Saka doesn’t pass to him. I’m convinced Odegaard and Saka are purposefully not passing to Gyok

Nope! The answer is actually none of the above!

He just continues jogging in a straight line behind the back post while hugging the CB (that he already beat), forcing Saka to cut inside and sky a contested shot over the bar!

Thanks for playing!

He let Lewis Dunk catch him in a race at the end of the game because he has no killer instinct,taking loads of little touches instead of touching it out front and sprinting

Gyökeres can do whatever fucking run you want Igbo Starboi isnt passing him, ever. They must dislike eachother on a personal level because Saka just ignores him game after game after game.

Yes Gyökeres is not technical and he cant dribble past defenders so theres no point in passing those balls infront of the defenders, but hes at least once or a couple of times standing unmarked in the penalty area when Saka cuts in from the right and Starboi just ignores him and shoots the ball into the stands.

He kinda hides behind defenders. There was a pass in the box for him and he just stood behind the defender hoping something will happen. Jesus came on and was better at keeping the ball in the box.

Its most obvious with Saka. The others do pass transition balls once every blue moon. He got one from Saliba last game, one long ball from Ödegård this game, one from Calafiori months ago, one from Eze.

The difference is Saka have the opportunity to pass him 2-4 times every game, where he is NOT hidden behind a defender but rather standing unmarked but Bukayo Sucka simply wont fucking pass it.

What we see from Saka and his striker is not normal interaction between a RW and a #9.
>>
>>152688215
I think gyok genuinely makes horrible runs but I’m willing to accept it’s due to arteta’s preference to play wide and not cross the ball


Gyok sits on their cb to pull the back line deeper to create space at the top of the box while wingers go straight down the line at the full backs.

It’s just fucking stupid and doesn’t work. I’d prefer to see Gyok make runs behind like HE FUCKING DID IN PORTUGAL AND SCORED A MILLION GOALS DOING

I HATE ARTETA I HATE HIM
>>
You are overthinking it lads, they're all desperate for goals and afraid of bottling AGAIN so they drop spaghetti every time they're in the box
>>
>>152688286
Or they have no idea what to do around the box because their coach only likes playing defense and buying defenders and practicing set piece plays so defenders can score

He does runs behind but never gets a pass.

But Arsenal rarely plays in a way that suits him (transition, passes behind) but rather slow low risk horseshoe passing against parked buses. Hes the completely wrong striker for that kind of play as it requires lots of technical ability to break through the tiny gaps in the parked bus, or being a dominant aerial/target player like Giroud/Zlatan.

I have no clue why Arteta decided to buy a striker whos good in transition, mediocre in the air and has poor technique and then play in ways which demand technique and aerial ability.

Based Emery. Reminder that Farteta's only trophy came with his team.

Arteta doesn’t want the team to cross though we see that aversion constantly unless it’s the end of a tie game or something.
This game today was as wide open as we’ll ever get and Gyok got 2 balls over the top/through
One should’ve been a goal and the other should’ve had their goalie red carded

Idk why we don’t do it more

Different option for different games. Obviously now Jesus is building up fitness and Havertz is still injured. Gyoko will be best against Poonited and Lpoo when they play high line and Havertz will be better against Spurs when they defend for their lives with 11 men behind the ball.
>>

Best we can honestly hope for is a draw. Really, really needed Villa to lose that fucking game just now to knock the belief out of them a bit.

>>152687971
>he also gets double or triple teamed every time
Which is why Gyökeres makes the run to the far post, as he did today, to free space for Saka. Only problem was Saka rarely did anything threatening with the created space.
>>
>>152688286
This is probably the truth.
>>
>>152688360

>>152688505
I don't think the tactic you describe fit Declan Rice either but he is fantastic in more open games. The same is probably true for Gyökeres.
>>
>>152688831
idk if that makes sense. they seem to just let gyok stand directly on one of the CBs and send a midfielder to help their LB with saka.

if gyok made some runs across the back line that would free up the penalty spot/top of the box though
