Saka is also a teenager, he is actually younger than Williams and every single game he plays, he shows his talent, he shows that he is something special, does he makes mistakes? Yes, of course, but you will give him chance because he deserved it and he will pay that back. Williams is the complete oppossite of him.
He is a classic example of our academy graduate. He runs a lot, he tries a lot, he dives a lot, he had one or two good moments (f. e. goal against Sheffeild), but he is no good enough and probably never will be. But he comes from academy so people will call for another chance and another one and another one, because he is so good and if you ask them why, they wont answer. Some people actually said that he is better than Shaw and he should play instead of him because Shaw never performed (Shaw as our POTY from last season ; even though Pogba should have won it).
With normal manager he will be gone in two years like Donald Love, with bad manager like Ole he will be next Pereira and in 3-4 years most of the fans will hate him and the same people will praise some new big talent after not even an average perforamnce. It is actually very similar to Mctominay case, but he is much older.
Whereas I think Williams has been one of of our best and most consistent performers this season despite it being his first at this level. Trent AA showed nothing in his first season and now is lauded as one of the worlds best RB's
Williams plays better in a 4 and has had a couple of bad games in a new position. He has all the attributes to be a top player and is 7-8 years from his peak.
Next year he'll have to step up again and improve but this year he has justified his place in pretty much every game he has played and there is no reason to think otherwise or that he should be replaced in the summer.
Anyone claiming he isnt good enough to make it, is simply trying to be the all seeing sage, unable to be proven wrong at this moment of his career.
Hopefully he continues to improve at the rate he has this season, and that will make him good enough to be our no1 LB for years to come.
