GMart is not a weak link. Watch not the offensive parts of the game, but transition and defense and you will be impressed. He's critical to the way we play!
Ode may be off form. But he’s better player than riceSays the terrorist who doesn't rate Rice.

It's wild how badly you need shame yet you don't feel it. It's Rice who has stepped up this season and led by example when the Captain hasn't. Ødegaard was the worst Arsenal player on the pitch last night as he has been many a time this season. You are what your form says you are until you prove otherwise and right now, Declan Rice is a considerably better player than Martin Ødegaard.
Turnover Jesus
He won't be ousted, he's the captain and everyone can see the quality footballer we have. His problem for me is his inability to release the ball quickly as a #10. There were times in our previous 2 games where if he released the ball 2 seconds earlier, our offensive transition may have resulted in better chance creation. The longer he keeps hold of the ball, the easier it is for defenders to close the spaces we're trying to exploit. I don't know if it's an instruction or the way Arteta wants him to play in certain situations but maybe if we get a proper #9 he'd have the outlet to start passing the ball quicker.
Succinctly put! I remember wondering what was wrong with Ben White too, only to find out he was carrying injury. It's the only logical explanation, you don't go from great to crap in 5 months.
He's still got that **** the bed vibe to me, which I think the majority of our other big players are starting to grow out of.
Historically both have been good. Right now, one is and one is definitely not.
