Saka Line Breaking Passes : Gunners

On the whole it seemed like he was pressing a bit/was maybe a bit over-eager in his first start of the year, but ended up showing his quality in helping create both of the goals.

In possession, he was essentially playing in that ‘wide 8 role’ where he drifted inside into the half spaces similar to how players like Silva and De Bruyne are deployed at City, so if/when we do move towards a 4-3-3 setup I can absolutely see Arteta using Saka more in a central midfield role as opposed to playing in the front 3.
