Hey Lads was having a heated discussion with my mates over who u would rather have on your team, me being a newcastle fan am delighted in having gordon and think he has been exceptional for newcastle at the start of the season and really had a breakthrough u21’s euros with england and was arguably their best player in the tournament. However haven’t seen enough of cole palmer to really intrigue me is a great talent for sure and my friends were adamant he is better than gordon but want to get second opinions on it.
People keep saying this about Saka but he’s on pace to outperform his G/A from last season. He’s 4 goals and 4 assists in 11 games where Jesus and now Odegaard, two of our most productive offensive players, have been absent for most of those matches.
I get it, he’s not as electric as Salah, Vini, or even Martinelli, so the eye test is extremely deceptive when looking at his performance. But he is doing just fine.
Yeah that was based purely off the eye test. Last season I just remember him going at the fullback basically all game every game. He’s still one of the best so is still getting plenty of goal contributions. But compared to how good he was last year I think he’s shown he’s capable of more. So in the sense that Kane is playing better than he ever has before. Sterling is arguably playing better than he every has before even if he’s not as prolific as his peak around 2019. Saka is still brilliant and starts for us current form. But we’ve seen him be even more potent last season.
