Martin Ødegaard: El Capitanø Campeone

[OSBK]

He has been awful most of this season. When the chips are down we cannot rely on this guy.

 

[HomeSteak]

Why does he take freekicks and corners? He is bad at it.
That shot he did not take today...just has no ****ing balls.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

This guy also his confidence look really low he still played much better than last few games tho.

But these set pieces just awful

 

[GUNNERS4L1FE]

This guy must be the one breast feeding cos he been ****ing cheeks for months

 

[Buhry]

Can we get a petition started to remove his beard? Swear that thing started his downfall

Was he ever good at those?

Don't believe so that's why Saka was taking it from right corner.

WHAT THE EVER LOVING **** WAS HE EVEN DOING HERE?

That's actually embarrassing, our supposed captain and leader btw.

Not really a counter if the entire opposition’s defence and midfield is in front of you.

All that space in behind and not one of Sterling, Havertz or Martinelli makes a run?

Martinelli throughball was definitely on. Ode looked to be setting himself of for that passing line but then he turns back. Not a good look.

Not that Gabi would’ve scored it if he got through though.

 

[GDeep™]

Can’t be our captain. Give it to Rice or Saka.

He does it all the time. Same with TP5, they turn away from transition moments like this.

Its coached by Arteta, I am almost certain of that.

But I will also say, Ødegaard cant hit the right weight of pass consistently for these moments. He doesnt play like a 10 anymore IMO.

Needs to sit deeper in a double pivot, with a more incisive 10 ahead of him.

Top player but there are actions in the game were you really wish he was him and even more so now with Saka out.

Didnt Newcastle score from a counter because Ode couldnt make a simple pass in that action last week.

 

[Riou]

"Martin come outside for a second, I just want to talk to you..."

Yes... and the Brentford goal too.

He complicates things that shouldnt be complicated for someone of his technical level. And its costing the team as a result.

Something beyond just fatherhood must be going on. This level of regression is stunning. He looked better in his first couple of matches back after the long layoff. Everything from his execution to his decision making has gone backwards and it doesn't make sense. The guy was the best midfielder in the league last season and now looks like Havertz Jr.

Yeah, he has the vision and creates the "chance" but the weight is almost always a bit wrong, so it's not really a good chance. Drop him deeper and you magnify the costly defensive mistakes though.

Look at I believe that's Rice throwing his head back in disgust. Damning.

I do wonder how many years before Arteta plays Ode and Nwaneri in midfield with Rice sitting behind. Nwaneri is more aggressive when attacking and Ode can be someone like David Silva for us. Really hard for me to understand why do we need bodybuilders like Merino in the midfield
