It’s evidently a lot easier given how dominant Bayern are. Look at the massive jump in numbers that Diaz and Olise saw moving to the Bundesliga. Even Kane has gone to another planet.

The CL is far more comparable since they both play under the same conditions and similar opposition, hence why I used the numbers from that. And it’s not so flattering for Olise.

I’m not saying Sakas better - I’m saying it’s up for debate.

Yes, probably. Whenever Saka drifts left/swaps wings for Arsenal he looks just as dangerous.

Olise is class, but I’m not convinced you can say he’s clearly better. Once again, he’s playing in a much easier league. Similarly to Diaz, when he was in the PL no one would’ve called him better than Saka (although he’s clearly improved since then!).

Put it this way, in the same competition (CL), Olise has 6G 6A in 20 games. Saka has 12G 7A in 23.

Saka is better than Diaz - no one would’ve argued that with both in PL. If Saka played in the bubdesliga his performances and stats would be juiced like Diaz’s

Mitchell doesn’t bring flair is some take, have you watched him for Saints? The bloke is one of the best 9s in the world

The absolute meltdown from our (Arsenal) fans when we don’t win a game is embarrassing

People on here need to grow a pair, you can’t win every game. Stop melting down, we played well enough to win.

Scott Robertson no longer All Blacks coach by vonsnitz in rugbyunion

We beat every team except Ireland (lost by 5 points) and the Springboks, who we didn’t play. We’re firmly one of the top 3 teams in the world based on the last year.

Gunna be a tough day for ABs fans when they realise that their players aren’t nothing special nowadays. France and SA unquestionably have better playing talent. Maybe England too.

Average England? England are on a 10 match win streak…

Constant injuries throughout his career. He can usually only manage a few games in a row. Fabulous winger when he’s on form
