Well I cannot find these stats for LB / LWB anywhere, everywhere just says RW. Anyway youngsters get played for experience, doesn't mean they played well never mind extremely well, only the top players play extremely well and there is nothing to suggest saka did in those roles.
So because you can’t find the stats (that I linked to higher up in the thread) they don’t exist?
And means we gave an 17-19 year old 60 top flight starts, just for the hell of it? As did the England team, apparently?
And he just coincidentally happened to go on to play over 200 times for Arsenal and pick up over 30 England caps by the age of 22? All of this came from poor performances as he broke through?
We’ve hit the conspiracy theory stage in this thread, now.
Pep didn’t bench Foden because he thought that was best for the team. No, it’s because he’s “a psychopath”.
Foden wasnt dropped because the likes of de Bruyne / D. Silva / B. Silva / Gundogan were (or, in some cases, still are) better players than him. No, his selection - unlike pretty much any other player - had “nothing to do with his performances”.
Saka’s status as a nailed on starter for a team challenging for top honours and a national side with serious competition for places isn’t the result of playing well when first breaking through as a LB/LWB. No, in fact “there is nothing to suggest“ Saka did well in those roles. That he was selected for. Over 60 times. As teenager. For both club and country.
