He believes that Saka’s drought is caused by Ben White’s inability to overlap properly.
Speaking to Football Insider he said:
“I just think that things are happening on the left-hand side solely because of Granit Xhaka and Zinchenko. Sometimes one releases the other”.
“You don’t have that on the other side with the way that Martin Odegaard plays. We know what Saka can do but Ben White has been deputising as a full-back and has done a really good job but he’s not an offensive full-back, he’ll be one that sits there”.
