Martin Ødegaard: El Capitanø Incognito

[Sanchez11]

Sideways Bob, could have played Gy9k through but bottled it. His running style is terrible btw.

 

[Gooner Zig]

The discourse around Ødegaard is legitimately unhinged.

The discourse around Ødegaard is legitimately unhinged.

Bit OTT calling it unhinged, just because you dont agree with people. Hes not that great, he had one decent shot straight at the keeper. Nothing to write home about.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

I thought we was tidy last night. Still a bit conservative with his distribution at times but I expect that to come with more sharpness.

I don't need to be seeing him drop in to pick the ball up in Zubi's areas, he's more than capable of doing that himself. Ødegaard needs to stay a bit higher.

I don't think so, folks are calling perfectly fine performances trash/garbage

Another top game by Ødegaard.

Haterz gonna hate and agendas gonna agend.

I wouldn't say top but he was fine. Agree with the over the top hate he's receiving here though.

 

[Thrice]

He needs to redefine his game and his role, otherwise Zubimendi will make him redundant sooner rather than later.

Agreed. I maintain my position that Arsenal has grown beyond Ødegaard and his skillset. Who here really thought his shot on goal had a whiff of a chance? Not I.

I wouldn't say we've fully outgrown him yet if he can rediscover what made him special two years ago. That player can still be a real asset for us.

He needs to remember how he played the position when TP5 ,could still run. He used to stay higher and play quicker. When he does that he's a top player

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

I don't expect him to be a physical player or win a huge amount of duels but I've noticed for a while he goes into challenges half hearted or tries to pull out at the last minute, that's how you get hurt.

I'm wondering if there's a bit of a psychological block with him in terms of the physical side at the moment.

people forget he was our best player for two years, I think he will find his form again but he needs to be a rotation option until then.

 

[OnlyOne]

I actually think he’s been decent in the limited game time we’ve seen him this season.

 

[viktor]

Ødegaard never look dangerous for me in final third since last season until now so far even his crossing not even better than zubimendi

look at crossing from zubimendi to madueke in final third & zubi using his weak foot that is absolutely elite from zubi

 

[viktor]

zubi replace Ødegaard then buy elliot anderson (double pivot with rice), wow that is peak midfielder

He's been good this season when he's played.


If/when he gets back to his best he's an automatic starter.

 

[ItaBic]

i always like Ode but in this moment really i don't see much pro points play him. he just slow down our pace , don't create chances , don't do anymore good play with Bukayo and for score a goal would need the opponent team play the game without the goalkeeper (and i'm also not sure he would find the goal like this) . at the moment i see Eze and Ethan as better choises

 

[nWoneri]

Again, he isn't him.

Came on tonight against Wolves, looked like a ghost.

Woeful, mistake prone, don't even want to say that he can't win a single duel. Just occupies that RHS and that is it.

Absolutely needs replacing and moving on from this guy, he has been crap for more than a year and he doesn't bring anything. Just mistakes and horrible passing.

I still can't believe he managed that 10+GA season and how.

for me after injuries look like he lost "lucidity" and he become slower in the movements...before injuries he rarely lose the ball and was a lot quicker in the decisions...now he is totally other player

 

[Sanchez11]

We have simply outgrown him.
