Saka has to cross the ball first time onto his right foot for Giocares.
And it's again to show you that this Arsenal team has been built and has been kind of structured not to play with the traditional number nine.
Because otherwise, if Saka is used to having a traditional number nine there, he crosses that ball first time every single time, even on his wrong foot.
Whereas the second cross should never come to Jokeres because Sanchez doesn't make the mistake and he stops the ball and the ball.
The right pass is the first one that Saka doesn't make.
This is a team that has been for so many years used to play with force number nine, with Gabriel Jesus, with Kai Havertz, with Merino.
And that's why I still think that he's still adapting to this team and the team is still adapting to him.
He should have done better so far this season.
He should do more during a game, not just scoring.
But sometimes his runs, for me, are just not clear enough.
There's a few things that he should improve on already.
But I thought this goal was typical of what's happening with Giocares at the moment.
He will get to 15, I think, this season in all competitions.
But you could see for me that Saka should have crossed that ball, but it's just not in the mindset right now to play that way.
