Bukayo Saka Says Arsenal Teammates Are Ignoring Outside Noise Because Opinions “Change Like The Weather”

Bukayo Saka says his Arsenal teammates are not listening to outside noise because opinions “change like the weather.”

The Gunners have started the season strongly and enter the November international break with a four-point lead at the top of the Premier League. It could have been six points, but Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw at Sunderland, ending their 10-game winning run in all competitions.

The result at the Stadium of Light, traditionally a tough venue for the Black Cats, sparked concern among some Arsenal fans, but Saka is not paying attention.

“People’s opinions and thoughts about us change like the weather,” the England winger said (via Independent). “The most important thing is the changing room, how solid we are, the foundation we have, the belief we have in ourselves. How we stick together, through the good and bad, that’s the most important. We can’t pay attention to the external noise because it’s always fluctuating.

“We’re good, we’re in a good place. The last month or so has gone really well. We’ve won a lot of games, kept a lot of clean sheets and we’re playing well. So it’s all good.

“We just have to win every game, that’s the mentality we go into the games with. See where it leaves us. We can’t get carried away with what people are saying because one day they’ll say something, the next day they’ll say something different.”

Saka’s comments underline the focus and resilience within the Arsenal squad as they aim to maintain their lead and continue competing for the Premier League title.
