Can't wait to see pics of him in a Wanderers jersey howling after a goal. Preferrably while Manly's wolfman is still on suspension for illegal gambling, yep yep

Played well tonight. Some great signs with his touch and sight, and also his love for the fans. Judgement still reserved for a full game in a settled team, but it looks promising

will need to learn that Aussie refs aren't going to give fouls that easy haha. 

but other than that, he looked electric. he was exciting to watch! looked to take on his man whenever he could which is something aussie players seem to lack

He looked to be absolutely freezing tonight, pulling his sleeves over his knuckles. Can't wait to see what he brings when the weather starts to warm up!

He'll enjoy Canberra then. :ninja:

 

Tried to milk a free kick (I wouldn't go so far as calling it a dive, but he played for the contact) and didn't get it. Popa (or the senior players) will surely have a word to him about staying up.

I'm excited to see this guy, as well as the whole team, but particularly Saba. 

 

After the Canberra game the weather will only improve.

There was one F@#k up he made where he took his eye off the ball, didn't panic pulled it back and laid it off as if he meant the whole thing. Definitely a better first touch than whoever he is supposed to be replacing, extremely slick ball control. Looked like matrix stuff against an eager Macarthur side that wasn't easily fooled by the rest of the squad

better than Ono?

I don't know if it was age but Ono needed to pause and let the ball drop once he made contact. Saba takes it in his stride without altering form, trapping and rolling or pushing the ball all in one motion. Very silky, and now a word from the man himself

I'm still waiting for the no look pass, the thunderbolt volley from out of the box, or juggling the ball past two ESFC players before taking the shot on the volley, or juggling the ball and then taking the shot on the volley past an outstretched defender's legs, etc.

Already done the no look pass whilst being shut down by two opposition players

Two! He was about to make his first ever touch on the chest and slipped onto his ass, ball continuing on untouched. He did get a round of applause for that haha

All this within the initial 15 minutes of his playing career with WSW.

 

Your not expecting much.
