Actually the consensus was for Ødegaard by a factor of 2 to 1 in the poll. This is something that AM got right! Well done usJust another thing A-M consensus was dead right on
Some people think he's holds onto the ball for too long, occasionally, this is the case, but most of the time, he does it deliberately to draw in two or three defenders before picking a pass. Perfect example was the Saka goal, he could have passed first time, but instead he delayed, brought two Sp**s players towards him, released the pass and took them out of the game.Demonstrated some outstanding pressing, work rate, and an ability to retain possession in tight situations. If he can consistently deliver this, and maybe add a few more G/A to his game, then we've done some excellent business with him.
Was one of his worst games in a while yesterday tbh.He was fantastic
Wanted to mention this too. Early pass to Saka was what most other players would have played. That would have meant that Saka would have to run with the ball for a long and one of the Sp**s defenders might have caught up with him. The fact that he waited took his time and moved to the opposite direction freed up space for Saka to move to.Some people think he's holds onto the ball for too long, occasionally, this is the case, but most of the time, he does it deliberately to draw in two or three defenders before picking a pass.

Yeah this. He needs to be stronger and shield the ball better.Was one of his worst games in a while yesterday tbh.
In the 1st half alone he lost the ball 5x times deep when receiving it under pressure. Needs to be better in those situations with body feints as a player with his technical quality should not be disposed that easily.
He’s like Özil used to be when he first joined except with added vitamin D, Iron and Riboflavin.
Definitely that West Ham game, where we were dominating possession that second half and in control, which gets you kind of excited when you think of how he’ll perform as we have more possession and control of games like in the first half yesterday. These players are at their best when they can pop passes off and move without the team losing possession, like our German moany ghost was.A lot more to come from this lad, to think that game against west ham (his best game in an Arsenal shirt) was him at a 90 in terms of his potential is scary tbh
