Bukayo Saka has tipped Arsenal to win a trophy this season if they can perform as good as they did against Tottenham consistently.
The Gunners are now on a four-game winning streak and that win against the Lilywhites this weekend was a new high for them.
Their summer signings are still getting used to playing together, but their recent upturn in form is impressive.
Saka has had a tough time in this campaign, but he came to life in the North London Derby and was in stunning form.
If he can play that way consistently in this campaign, he could become a leading player in the league by the end of the season.
The England star spoke after the match and claimed that age didn’t matter in doing great on the pitch.
He then spoke about their performance in the win and maintained that they will end this season positively if they keep performing as they did in the match against Spurs.
‘We can achieve anything, no matter what age,’ the 20-year-old said via The Daily Mail.
‘With age comes experience, but we have a lot of experience in this squad anyway, which helps us.
‘If we play like that all the time, we have a strong chance of doing well this season and winning some trophies. This is one game, we have to do it again the next week and the next week.’
He is right, consistency is the key to performance. We have the players for top 4, we need to play like it every game not just now and then. There is no excuses now for slack performances.
Exactly right Reggie and Saka – no excuses now!!!
Nothing like a bit of positivity from a young and important member of the squad. Start believing, and winning can become a habit.
It was a terrible start and heads could have dropped. There will no doubt be blips – the fewer the better 😊
Sadly we’r behind City Chelsea and Liverpool but we have a chance of catching manure…..The “project” IS there to be seen but we need to keep these young lads together by starting to win trophies (especially the bigger ones)ASAP
The Liverpool way IS the way to fellowe BUT it’s a very diffecult .Liverpool didn’t win a tilte in thirty Yeats.We should try and match the spending power of Chelsea and City….With another owner?
Arteta should take note of where Saka performs best. He plays 7 position much more than PePe does there Especially with Speed and Smooth transition up front.So it is illogical always trying to force Pepe to play in place of Saka in 7 position. They are two different players
Arteta should maintain the starting XI against Tottenham for subsequent Premier league matches except when there are injuries.
Pepe should be trying the 11 position. He will do well there. Let Pepe be our NATURAL 11 for now.
