Martin Ødegaard: El Capitanø

[AberGooner]

Played great again today. I'd say he's been consistently very good since he came back into the starting line up. Cemented his place in the side.

 

[Polar Bear]

Very good performance, and should have had a penalty

 

[razörist]

On his penalty moment, pretty dead touch took him off course, a cushion touch and he could have had a shot… still a good game from him

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

Got a little bullied today. If only he has a better burst of pace, it might be the only thing that holds him back.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

He's made himself relevant now. I still think he gets brushed off the ball a bit too easily, but you can see his work and assertiveness to drive us forward. I love how he had a word with the fourth official as he went off. The ghostly performances seem to gave been banished.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I think he was good today obviously when the sent off happen our attack became very limited but i liked at 1st half he always made himself available to get the ball him and Saka did trouble thier right hand side so much.

 

[pigge]

Very good today, i always forget he just turned 23. He'll become very good i think

 

[Leo_ense_]

Weight of pass and control are up there with the best in Europe. He’ll be great for us

 

[Wrighty4eva]

Silently plugging away proving me wrong.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Usual suspects absent from this thread as per

Champagne papi type of player, fluid ball

30m for this guy was a great deal. We like to slate the club when they pay over the odds, so they deserve credit when they make good deals like this.

30m is a robbery, I refuse to believe we will actually pay just that. Probably had a high loan fee which was taken into account and loads of add ons we’ll inevitably have to pay.

To put it into perspective, 30m is not far off how much we got for Willock… yeah.

Real Madrid cut their losses, look what we did to Ceballos.

Yep, when I saw the price we got him for I was impressed, even back then.

But he's definitely progressing very well, in some ways he's ahead of where I expected him to be at this point.

Very good.

 

[Wryer]

Love his desire for someone so silky on the ball. Needs to work a little more on his physical strength, been knocked over or lost balance a little too easily at times.

My take is he’s gonna be one of those yo-yo players who can be unplayable today and go under the radar the next week. Most creative players are, but hopefully he gets some form of base level of performance consistently.

Özil is the obvious one that Ode is compared with, but I would rather him become someone like Nasri who improved his game and complemented his creativity with directness and dribbling - as opposed to a pure passer like Özil.

 

[A_M Iniesta]

I think he's the next captain

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Beautiful footballer.

The benefit of not buying from within the PL

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

6 games with 3+3. A point per 83 minutes. Good stuff.
