We can debate the effectiveness of Match Ratings and how accurate they are for days, but Saka is has been consistently one of the best rated players on match ratings every season, no matter how good or how bad he seems to perform, obviously recently hes been a bit frustrating to watch because of a few wasteful moments.
But he is also or top scorer this season, he might not be back to his absolute best but he is showing good signs. I get that people want to jump on a players back especially after the Brighton loss, which was more of a team effort at being shit than any individual player, but Jumping on the back of one of our highest output players is certainly a choice.
Also its early days in the season, I'd rather Saka be a slow starter and peak in May rather than come out the gates swinging and be shattered by the time the important games in May hit.

Look you can criticise him for certain parts of his game, but lets not act like hes a bad player like some people ive seen are tying to claim.

There’s something I feel is being misconstrued by a large portion of City fans.

I keep reading them say that the financial rules are set up by the big clubs to maintain their position and keep the smaller clubs down. Premier League financial rules are indeed a limiter to clubs spending, but I think using the above logic is a victim mindset that tries to make personal what is not personal. That is to say, it’s not about you. It’s about the Premier League as a product.

The Premier League isn’t one club. It’s the entire league, and the product depends on all of those clubs being able to remain financially viable and the competition itself maintaining continuity.

If a club goes into debt and financially collapses, the product as a whole is damaged. The continuity of the league is upset, exactly like what could happen now depending on what sanctions are taken. While there are valid criticisms of the current financial constraints, they’re meant to protect each club’s ability to remain above water.

Curious your thoughts?
