Martin Ødegaard: El Capitanø

[Entropics]

Can see him replaced by a tall duelist. Timber already proved that if the best you have to offer this team is some sort of super chemistry with Saka, the truth is that Saka's simply carrying your ass.

Fatherhood is a long struggle anyway.

Does our players ever practice thier finishing can't lie the amount of times Kai just shot the ball so weekly or just can't finish the chances make me believe they don't practice yet in training videos all I see they it put top corner

It's much harder in the real games than in training. Everything is moving at a much faster pace and the pressure/expectations can overwhelm some players

 

[Macho]

Ffs he didn't give birth you know. Sit a two o'clock game out because his wife had a baby?

He was ineffective in attack, has happened before and will happen again. I'm assuming Martinelli and Jesus have multiple families giving how **** they're playing constantly?

We gotta stop calling him a 10. He’s a right central to right wing player. Palmer actually plays as 10

The pressure turns those weak, skinny legs to slush. Summer rain has more power.

So this guy asking Ødegaard carry the ball forward and with tow players pressing him and only have have Havertz to support. Braindead fanbase. 90% he gonna lose the ball at the end

Ødegaard here did the right thing he got those tow players pressing him get out of position the solution should be to get the ball to left side quicky so we have ton of space

This is why as much as I rate Ødegaard, the Özil comparisons never sit well with me.

Smart positional play bad, dumb ass trickery good

Same situation Ethan did this trickery carry the ball forward took tow players out was very good from him but also lead to nothing because Fulham are having many players behind. The fanbase here focusing on wrong player look how Havertz and Martinelli clueless decision making and movement are

Why on earth would you ask or want Ødegaard to carry? Opposition want him as far away from the box as possible.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Ødegaard carry the ball forward where there space but when there pressure in him he don't gamble and lose the ball we play high line any time he lose the ball it's counter against us. And if that happened we gonna complain more

I don’t care to rank players but what a lot of people miss with Ødegaard (and generally) is how his leadership, communication & habits tie a team together on and off the pitch. True sum greater than its parts player.

Who calls him a 10? He's clearly a right sided #8.

I agree. Although the last sentence makes it sound like he lacks the natural talent. He has elite talent on top of great mentality and leadership abilities.

Quickly running this by twitter first before I decide whether I like/agree with this post.

There is a bit more leadership and captain candidates in this iteration of Arsenal, so whilst Ødegaard's leadership by example is nice - we need a genuine WC attacking player more.

You know I rate Özil more than Ode in terms of pure ability, but if you think 8/10 times in that same situation he also wouldn’t pass and move then you’ve forgotten what Ozils game was about.

Yeah he could drive but it was never his goto.

Never said it was and I was very careful to not put down Ødegaard at all as I did not want to go back on forth on the two - because I knew either you or someone else was around the corner lol.

I just think Özil was more audacious and had more imagination that's all. Ødegaard did the right thing there.

This is fair but Özil was also playing for Wenger and aiming at natural strikers instead of playing for Arteta and aiming at Havertz, Nketiah and Jesus. I'm pretty sure Ødegaard doesn't lack imagination so much as understand the limits of whom he's trying to play in. I'm quite sure there's tape of some imaginative passes to Isak at Sociedad for example.
