I told people on here that Ødegaard was a more dynamic version of Özil but with less vision/passing ability and got told Özil is more dynamic somehow....
I counted that he made 5-6 really weird, misplaced passes within a 15 min period in the second half. It almost looked like his legs were spent after that first half, where he was very good.
Anything less than a goal and an assist invites this sort of criticism. That's the standard some are held to. Others clearly less. It's a compliment, I guess.
What a load of drivel, also ode is 5'10 and doesn't have tiny legs. He's nothing like Santi. If there is any ex arsenal player to compare him to it's a cross between Özil and cesc.
Yup he was clearly hurt and everyone in the ground was screaming for him to be subbed - no idea why it took so long. It better not have made it worse, hopefully just a knock. When it comes to our starting 11 I'm starting to think Ødegaard and Xhaka are our two most non-negotiable starters...
Even though I want to see Vieira give a chance in his position, I thought ESR did well when he was on. More calm now about his injury situation provided it's not too serious. We can handle couple of games with ESR without too much drop I think. Specially against the Mancs. The problem is it'll then leave us with no depths out wide though.
Personally I think there is a major drop off from Ødegaard to ESR. Perhaps the biggest drop off in our team along with Saka to the next and Thomas to the next. Ødegaard is the creative hub and has an ability to get on the ball and keep possession and keep play moving forward and create opportunities that ESR really hasn't shown at this point.
35 million whatever play him and don’t run Ødegaard to death the only thing he didn’t do first five matches is sell the tea.
