You're wrong, no?
Yes, especially for the price being mentioned at the time.Would people still take him over Maddison?

Still think this fits well with what we see. If we get him time, we should see his qualities. Hopefully, we can get him more of that in future as we get better.He’s got great application, effort and he pressures very well so he’s certainly not a dead weight off the ball. However, his basic qualities aren’t suited to games where we’re getting out pressed and the tides against us. He never contributes to the ‘turning of the tide’. If we can get a consistent supply of ball and time to him then he’s very effective and gives us even more control on top of what our pressure earns us. He’s a very good player, but in games like palace, unless we start winning our duels and out pressing the opposition, he won’t be effective.
How do people single out individuals and yet also claim Arteta’s system is poor?
No, just Arsenal fans in general.Aimed at me?

He’s like Özil, when the team plays well he’ll be right there with them but he won’t lift everyone when they’re down.It can be a combination sometimes. Big quality players may not be as hindered by a terrible manager as mediocre players. Does this mean that Ødegaard is mediocre? I dont know.
Many didn’t want him to begin with though.How do people single out individuals and yet also claim Arteta’s system is poor?
How do you think Maddison would fare under Arteta?Many didn’t want him to begin with though.
He’s got more individuality, so more output even if you argue Arteta will stifle him.How do you think Maddison would fare under Arteta?
Think this is lazy posting too. Özil was carrying teams when he was the same age as Ode.He’s like Özil, when the team plays well he’ll be right there with them but he won’t lift everyone when they’re down.
Was Özil carrying Real Madrid at this age? Think Ronaldo would have something to say about that.Think this is lazy posting too. Özil was carrying teams when he was the same age as Ode.
He was the driving force when we we chasing the league with Leicester etc.
Think you both raise good points.Was Özil carrying Real Madrid at this age? Think Ronaldo would have something to say about that.
It’s a fair comparison.
