Saka has played the full 90 too often, in my opinion. We need someone with a smilier profile to sub in for him at around the 65th minute mark against teams like Everton. Pepe is heavily left-footed to a fault but he could give a decent match to Saka’s one-on-one and striking capabilities. Nelson and Vieira are also decent options but, I’d prefer that Arsenal have an outright left-footed RW as Saka’s sub.
@coygsu I know. I was just being silly since your wrote smilier though I’m pretty sure you meant similar.
I worry about burnout too but it’s a pretty hard sell to make to a top player to say you’ll be back up to Saka when you know that means you won’t play that often. Not many top players will want to do that. So i see the challenge in having a suitable backup for Saka.

@coygsu @Astrealix i don’t think there’s anyone smilier than Saka in world football
That’s not the main concern. Saka burning out is the main concern.
