Martin Ødegaard: El Capitanø

[Heavy Duty Rom]

What do you dislike about Bruno? I’m not 100% on him, not really sure what his special qualities are.
Why not go big for musiala or wirtz or someone? Slap 100m on the table

Ability wise, other than the fact i'd prefer a better ball carrier, i don't have issues with him, its more his personality. He's been a **** to Arsenal, from the moment he signed with that video, and its continued in our games, elbowing Jorgi etc...

He is also a throwback to what i feel we are moving away from this season - overly emotional players. Players like Haverz, Rice, Tomiyasu/Kiwior don't show much emotion on the pitch, they are calm, professional. Players like Jesus, Xhaka, Zinchenko you feel can get caught up in the emotions of a game and its not always to our benefit, this is the category Bruno falls into.

This along with the likely price and age, leaves me with some doubts, not because i don't think he'd do well, but because i think we could do better with the money.

Feel like Jorginho and Partey are better than all these guys but what do I know? (A lot but I’m being humble).

Bruno is the only one where there can even be a conversation.

Blonde hair will always have its detractors.

Shocking given how, in my opinion, Arsenal's greatest player (and my favourite), DB10 is as blonde as Apollo (per historic Greek Pantheon depictions).

Sure bums like Robbie Savage has besmirched its high standing but it should be minimal when all is said & done

Other than this moment he was largely anonymous in this game. What do you think of getting Olise and playing him as a 10 with Saka like how Chelsea play Palmer centrally? Olise plays 10/RW comfortably.

We need a progressive 8/10 player to provide competition for Ødegaard and adequate rotation. Ideally someone athletic who can carry the ball in long bursts. Our away performances under Arteta screams of our lack of profiles in the team that can help us in transition moments, look at City and Madrid with their technical ball carriers and pacey outlets.

According to CIES Martin Ødegaard has the third highest impact score out of any player in Europe

Every time you say this it sounds dumber. Ødegaard is the best chance creator in Europe statistically. He is not the problem at all, in spite of you continuously trying to make this nonsensical narrative a thing.

Man's talking about our away performances under Arteta as if they are a problem when they are arguably the most impressive aspect of the team over the past two seasons.

Congrats to City, hopefully Liverpool put up a good fight to make it somewhat 'competitive'.

Arteta's neutered our attack and made our midfield worse

Sub par CB (can't defend wide area as a cb) and Sub par RB who gets skinned by any player with flair.

Not better than Saliba at cb and not a title winning/champions league aspiring RB.

So yeh, £50 million not well spent. Next individual to get Ramsdale'd.

Arteta is incapable of getting a point vs City, let alone a win.

Wolves/Palace/West Brom have all won vs City but we simply get *****ed out by Pep.

Last Season, City only won 1 game away from home vs the top 10, it was against Arsenal the game in which defensive errors costed us and players being shook of City (Ødegaard).

Customary 3-1 Arsenal loss.

Ødegaard/Saka/Martinelli overdoing their xG expected goals, Ødegaard has poor expected Assist numbers and people can think these 3 can replicate their numbers again, that's why deluded fans kept screaming 'we've scored 88 goals last season, we don't need an attacking creative midfielder/goal scoring striking'.

Saka inflates his key passes with set pieces, Rice isn't as good on the ball as Partey aswell (but fans will have you believe Partey is a plumber) and now Ødegaard is obsessed with poaching/crashing into the box instead of dictating our midfield/tempo and creating chances.

We're back to pass the ball to Saka and pray for the best like 2021.

I do believe last season is looking like a fluke.

Maybe take it down a bit

I missed the game but I've seen the highlights and that assist for Havertz

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

He's been brilliant. Not quite Cesc level at imposing himself regardless but we would be nowhere without him. I hope he has it in him to keep up the physical output next season as he's been largely excellent.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

8 goals 10 assists another consistent season from him

 

[Rain Dance]

that assist is something out of this world!
it looks like something an anime character would pull off and the watchers gonna call plot armor

damn that was a beautiful assist

 

[bakaboo]

I donno if he really intended to pass the ball to Kai. Seems like a weak placement shot to the corner. But if he really intended to do that pass, I would say that is absolutely outrageous confident and skill involved. Based on that, he would be WC under my opinion

He probably meant it. If you look at compilations of him, this season in particular and some of what he was doing when he was younger, he loves waiting until the last moment to try to pull off a difficult pass in the tiny window it can be made.

 

[razörist]

I cant tell if you guys are trolling about that assist on havertz lol

 

[OnlyOne]

Did he **** mean that
