Janusz Michallik has named two Arsenal players he has never seen have a bad game, insisting that they have both been ‘world-class’ every time he has watched them.

Mikel Arteta’s men have made a statement about their title credentials in the last couple of games. Arsenal have won their last two games 6-0 and 5-0 to silence those of us who questioned whether they had the goals in them to get across the line.

Bukayo Saka has scored four of those 11 goals. Meanwhile, Martin Odegaard has got another, and provided three assists. Undoubtedly, both players appear to have returned to form.

Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard proving their class for Arsenal

Saka labelled Odegaard’s display at Burnley at the weekend ‘magical’. Meanwhile, Saka is proving why many believe that he is one of the best players on the planet right now.

And when asked about their title push, Janusz Michallik told ESPN that he is amazed by the consistency of the two attacking midfielders.

“They’re unbelievable, they’re growing as a team. They’ve learned from last season, it seems to me,” he said.

“They have players that are playing lights out, with Martin Odegaard and Saka looking world-class every game. I don’t remember a game where they’re bad. Maybe they weren’t as good as their top, top level, but always at an incredibly high level.”

Gunners hitting form at the perfect time

Of course, Arsenal’s doubters will point to the fact that neither West Ham or Burnley have been in the best form of late. So the Gunners were always expected to win those games.

But the manner of those wins was particularly impressive. They got the job done early on in both games and they kept their foot on the accelerator.

That should also benefit the side when they face Porto in the last 16 of the Champions League. Arteta was able to make a number of changes, handing minutes to the likes of Cedric Soares and Mohamed Elneny.

Certainly, with Saka and Odegaard in their current form, Arsenal have a fantastic opportunity to make this season a historic one.
