Lack athleticism. Will be mid team pl player at best
Have to remind myself that he’s a young player too.
The PL is physically punishing and he’s going to have his work cut out for him as someone who is quite slow, stiff and weak.
Doesn’t mean he can’t be a success but I look at ESR and he’s having such an easier time of things due to his athleticism.
Yeah pretty much. You have to be a big time baller to succeed in the PL without some quickness, strength or agility.Isn’t this what we criticised Dani Ceballos for lacking? The PL feasts on players who lack those basic attributes.
He plays a bit like Christian Eriksen who had all of those weaknesses and still did well. Goal aside he hasn't really done much since signing though and it's a bit of a worry. Still think he'll come good but ...Yeah pretty much. You have to be a big time baller to succeed in the PL without some quickness, strength or agility.
Genuinely can’t think of a successful midfield player without at least one of the three in the PL. It’s made even worse by the fact he’s very one footed.

I don’t see the comparison with Eriksen at all tbh. Eriksen was sharp and agile, played higher on the wing or as a true 10 but wasn’t very good at finding unexpected timings or options unlike odegaarde, Eriksen basically capitalised on whatever was made for him. My position on Ode has already been stated but I think the Cesc comparison works best, much worse though.He plays a bit like Christian Eriksen who had all of those weaknesses and still did well.

Playing deep is where we need him the most. His output as a 10 won't be enough for big things, only for the mid tableNot suited to playing deep. 2 bad games. He's young and will only get better. People need to chill out.
