How Martin Odegaard Just Fixed Arsenal

Odegaard is our Rodri. Not only does he give us another level creatively or tactically but his work rate and leadership is irreplaceable. 90 minutes against Chelsea despite not being fully fit shows his mentality.

[@wrd777]

A large part of Arsenal's problem was starting with Timber and Rice on the left. Both are excellent players but both a right-footers, as is Martinelli. This restricts them more in attack than in defence.We saw an improvement when natural-leftie Merino came on. We can lookforward to the left side being Calafiori-Merino-Martinelli with Timber-Odegaard-Saka on the right and Rice in the middle.

[@jrgenramdahl123]

That being said, i'm not sure what the game plan was because I have no idea why they they decided to gamble on keeping such thin squad; I also think Jesus, Tomiyasu and Zinchenko are all surplus to requirements so maybe we might see someone come in January as a stop gap if injuries continue to sour...

Happy with the game tbh as an Arsenal fan. I think you summarised it perfectly at the end. I’d like to know what you think about Jesus’s progression and the lack of it would be a good video. Also who should replace Partey when the time occurs.

[@projekt27]

I was at the game. Neto worked very hard defensively but didn’t beat White once, which is why Maresca decided to switch sides. He scored (after Martinelli switched off) so that change worked but it’s a mad stretch to say Neto was the ‘best player on the pitch’. I found most interesting tactically how Chelsea massively stacked the left side of the pitch (I assume because worrying about Saka, Odegaard) and then tried to build up by going direct to Gusto (on the right) who’d moved to No10 position. It didn’t work and Martinelli didn’t capitalise on the space left, as he should have, but was definitely an interesting set up (and a key difference in the usual 4-4-2 block from both sides).

[@zorenwhite7886]

Neto smoked White 😂😂 just because he didn’t “beat him” (whatever pace-merchant brained idea this is) doesn’t mean he didn’t have white doing the hokey pokey

[@justanormalguy4816]

Maresca made Neto switch because Madueke got taken off (was having a stinker) to accommodate Mudryk on the LW. The RW is Netos natural position either way, not because he couldn't beat Ben.

[@projekt27]

Yeah being on his natural side was def another bonus of the change - I’m just wanting to dispute the lazy assumption that he was the best player on the pitch just because he scored that (very good) goal

[@evilotis01]

Ferguson's problem w Veron was buying him, not selling him

[@Trudy-uk4lj]

Because these managers have structures they want to implement and every player is key in this structure so they buy two players for each role incase of injury. But some players are just impossible to replace for example rodri plays as a single pivot and is responsible for covering the entire center of the pitch when city are attacking which isn't possible for most players. Which is why most teams use a double pivot.

[@Trudy-uk4lj]

You can replace wingers and strikers and certain midfield players because they aren't specialized roles. Yes, some wingers will be more prolific than others but it is easier to replace than a playmaker.

[@Trudy-uk4lj]

Like tchouameni is a defensive midfielder but not a regista which kroos was and so can't replace

[@petekadenz2466]

Man City and now Chelsea don’t have that problem because they in effect have two first teams (tho admittedly Rodri is not easily replaced). Arsenal do not seem to have any player that can perform Odegaard’s role. Perhaps they need to try to buy Angel Gomes.
