Has Madueke been BETTER than Saka for Arsenal?!

I thought he played better today than Saturday.
He's got a strong side.
And I thought Madueke, everyone's criticised Madueke.
I don't think he had as bad a game
as everyone seems to be saying he was.
I thought the ball that he put in for Havertz in the first half,
Havertz had to have done better with it.
The ball he put in for Ødegaard, Ødegaard had to do better with that.
The goal that we scored, the ball's come in,
he's played in the cross off his weaker foot,
coming off Ben White and then we scored.
So, he's had big contributions today.
When you're playing in those sorts of wide areas,
you're going to lose the ball, you're going to take plays on,
things are going to happen.
But what he didn't do was he didn't stop.
He didn't quit, he didn't sulk, he didn't stop being slow for himself,
he didn't stop trying to attack.
I think he's earned a start then in the next game.
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
I thought he played better today than Saka did,
and no one's come out today and had a go at Saka
or criticised Saka in any way, shape or form.
So, for me, I think he has to hold that slot,
and I think he has to play his way into form.
