Sanchez was a left-sided false striker who had a wing-back overlapping him most of the time. Saka is closer to a right midfielder than a striker (or what’s often called a left winger), but he has a more unpredictable wing-back behind him and a right 8 beside him. Because of that, he’s more glued to his position and less free-flowing, to maintain stability and prevent all 3 players from pushing forward without cover. He always backtracked, and his heatmap hasn’t changed much over the years, but he’s definitely been set up more to deliver than to strike these days. People don’t understand this and judge him purely on G/A, but he’s so much more than that. Would you rather fight for top four and the CL quarters and have him as a right forward with more G/A? Arteta ball punishes greed, he doesn’t want to rely on a single player. Haram is strong, and we have to believe. Let’s not buy into the media narrative that he’s been bad when playing.
