Bukayo Saka: pretty good at soccer! I wrote about how he’s, very quietly, made the leap into a new level of stardom this season: Outside of Saka, pretty much every attacker on Arsenal is scoring and assisting goals, or taking and creating shots, at a lower rate than last season. The more controlled approach in possession has helped them become the best defensive team in the league, by far: 22 non-penalty goals conceded, 16.9 non-penalty xG conceded -- both league-bests. But before the recent goal explosion of the past few weeks, the more deliberate possession style has led to more defenders behind the ball, which has made it harder for the likes of Martinelli and Odegaard to be as productive as they were last season.
