Eberechi Eze: Eze On The Eye

[sdotzdot]

Worried about him.

Thoughts @ksarp?

My position remains that Ødegaard belongs to an era of Gabriel Jesus and Zinchenko. I believe we have grown beyond Ødegaard and his brand of embellishing, going nowhere soccer.

Worried about him.

Why?

 

[celestis]

Half a season to get going? Wouldn't you say that's nowhere near good enough for a club like Arsenal? A player who's now in their prime, cost around 68M then needs half a season or so just to wake up and may or may not get going? I don't know about you or anyone else but for me that's definitely not good enough.

Arteta bought him and he's know all about what I just described . Either he wants him just for his mercurial ability to impact games out of nothing off the bench when everyone is fit or he think that Eze got a much higher ceiling. I'm not worried about his price , this is how big clubs behave , they cover all bases. Let's keep in mind that we are playing some of our best football with him and Gyokeres in the team .

I'm usually on the pessimistic side, but in this case I don't think there's anything wrong with him

He's gradually improved his tactical understanding of the RCM role, to the point where he's functioning well as "a cog in the machine" (good description above) vs. previously being a liability outside the final third

And it's not even his best position anyway

And the entire team is gassed

He will reach a higher level eventually

When Ode returns, does Eze replace Tross on the LW? Don't think he does on current form.

Everybody has to compete for their position. Good way to prevent complacency

We need Eze back on the left wing, just far more dangerous

Trossard has been great to be fair, maybe our best player past couple weeks.

Eze - Gyokeres - Saka
Ødegaard

Eze is our best LW

 

[Trilly]

Tbf it wasn’t just the commentators. Even Roy Keane, Wrighty and Eze himself said the pass allowed him to score the goal.

It wasn’t anything special but a lot of players mess that up.

Ødegaard

Eze is our best LW

where is trossard our best attacker so far ?

 

[Riou]

They are so desperate for Foden to be not useless for England aren't they lol.

Phil will be on the bench in every game that matters for England at the World Cup if they want to actually try and win it.

even morgan rogers better at 10 than foden

I have been very impressed with Rogers for England. He has been really really good for them.

As for Eze, I think there's been a bit of an expectation gap with him playing in Ødegaard's role. He isn't going to be the high touch player that Ødegaard is but he doesn't need to be. We brought him in to be a maverick and difference maker in tight games and to that end, he's already won us 4 points with a clutch assist for Martinelli + the GWG vs Palace. Without him we would have lost to City and maybe even drawn vs Palace.

That being said, I think his position for us should be nominally on the LW with license to drift in centrally.

He really isn’t though is he how long was Foden on for about 20 minutes and created the most chances on the pitch he’s also been very good for City in central positions this season

 

[MikelHadADream]

Lmao, I’ve just seen the discourse from the media about his goal.

Pheel Fodence plays a simple 10 yard pass to Ebs who bends it in the tops bins and Pheel is the one that gets all of the credit
