Many Arsenal fans see Saka as their best player, but from the perspective of an non-Arsenal fan, Ødegaard to me always seems to be the key piece in the team.

[@TastySwift]

truly is, everything the team does goes through him.

[@Jkev24]

Even if Saka is our best player (not saying he is, just working under that assumption), Odegaard is our most important player. He's the engine for our attack.

[@stevenmoulson8199]

Odegaard is different class. Honestly saka is loved by us arsenal fans but to anyone who loves football, odegaard is magical to watch. His awareness is probably the best in the world right now which is why we see so many rediculous looking flicks and passes because he's already 2 steps ahead in his mind

[@VRed224]

Mental toughness-that's his hallmark. His ability to demonstrate incredible mental resilience is unparalleled. Beyond that, his adaptability stands out; whether adjusting to a new club, taking on a different position, or embracing a new role, he does so effortlessly and swiftly. But it’s not just his skill set that sets him apart; it's his character. He remains humble and approachable, always the first to uplift his teammates. His dedication to his responsibilities at every club he's been part of is unwavering. He motivates not just his teammates but also the fans and even the players from rival teams, especially in the moments following a victory. While his talent is undeniable, it is these remarkable traits-his resilience, adaptability, humility, and commitment-that have truly propelled him to this level of excellence. Well done on capturing the essence of our captain so perfectly with this fantastic content! Tusen takk (Thank you very much in Norwegian's language)

[@leef-r2583]

I'm 40 and odegaard is on he's way to being one of the greatest players we have ever had... But it will be difficult to top Dennis in my eye's 😅

[@Jkev24]

As much as I love Odegaard, he's not as flashy as Dennis or even Ozil. I think overall he's better than the latter, but I think to capture the hearts the way Dennis did he needs to add some magic to his game (not saying he needs it to get better, just to leave that lasting imprint on us fans). Phenomenal player and I don't care if he's less flashy myself, just kind of thinking of the missing piece in his game if we want to see him perceived to be as good or better than Dennis.

[@tobaepebinuade5830]

In 2024, it’s great to see that Martin Odegaard is realizing his full potential. He was seen by many people as a Real Madrid reject someone who wasn’t good enough for their first team and he did have good loan spells elsewhere, but was never able to truly settle at a club and now after a couple of excellent seasons at Arsenal where he’s led the team from the front as he’s their captain, he’s now one of the best midfielders in the world and I can even make an argument that he’ll be the best midfielder in the premier league when Kevin de Bruyne leaves Manchester City and that’s just how good he is. When he first joined Arsenal, at the time it was on a loan and they were a dysfunctional team and Mikel Arteta was still very early in his project and he has been key to helping them become a proper team again as in back to back seasons, they were in contention for the league title and while they didn’t win it, it shouldn’t take anything away from Odegaard individually in a sense that his performances were incredibly consistent and despite being a midfielder, he has added goals to his game (2022-23 season: 15 goals and 7 assists, 2023-24: 11 goals and 11 assists) and has a great range of shooting. Odegaard is a sublime footballer. He has an excellent touch amazing technical ability, very good footwork, he creates a lot of chances at an elite rate and his passes are on another level as well. He’s someone who has a silky skillset and can also produce phenomenal passes out of nothing. He’s one of those players where you have to watch him and be mesmerized with what he does on the pitch. His profile as a player is similar to Mesut Ozil, the difference is that he tracks back without the ball. It’s true that in recent years from a tactical perspective, the number 10 role as a whole doesn’t exist in football anymore, that position hasn’t disappeared, I think players have evolved their game and someone like Odegaard has proven that he can be a playmaker at the highest level while also suiting the role and what the manager wants from him. He’s had such an amazing impact on Arsenal and as they continue to challenge for trophies, he’s going to get even more recognition for his brilliance since with every passing season he is adding something to his game and is a better player now than he was when he initially joined the club.

[@samwansbone2790]

What is it with both Odegaard and Ozil being brought from Real Madrid and having the same initials? I know this is a coincidence

[@mmaraccoon101]

Ozil was already an established player for Madrid though,Odegaard was just an youth talent over there. His skill got refined by Arteta

[@Blanke-i3h]

He's nowhere near Ozil

[@Asklepios27]

My favourite baller, so proud to have him as the skip

[@idleinthesewer5562]

during odegaards first season, i saw him as arsenal's best player and their main catalyst (arsenal fan). now however it feels like he has been figured out and isn't able to create things from nothing in the way saka can or kdb can for example. though he is extremely young still and will surely find a way to incorporate his flair back into his game, for now i think he is edged a little bit by saka. i do think the arteta system (carbon copy of man city lol) is one that kills creativity, so it probably isn't even his fault, just it has felt a little underwhelming watching him as of late. i also don't think he's underrated, he's widely regarded as the best or if not the second best player of the second best prem team. hard to call him underrated considering that

[@javierlandaverde4108]

Don’t think he’s up there with Özil in terms of creativity and chances creative as a passing hub but I’d tell you he’s better as a work horse 🐎 pressing game. A lot of energy. Don’t think he’s similar with Özil . I’m glad Martin was able to modernize his position where playing as #10 is not welcome without putting a work shift running and gunning in the press game.

[@TastySwift]

😂

[@Blanke-i3h]

Ozil was way better

[@tpgorman15]

I love Odegaard & he truly is the most important piece to this current Arsenal generation. However, none of this exists without the clubs purchase of Ozil in 2013. Mesut was the first big purchase Wenger made in the post Highbury era & he awakened the fanbase from 7-8 year sleep. Yes, at times he left us wanting, but that first year in 13/14 he reminded us Gooners what beautiful football under Arsene Wenger was like. Ask any real Arsenal fan for their top 5 goals since 2000 and the goal against Norwich in October 2013 makes their list. He was a magician on and off the ball. His touch was the definition of class. Pure elegance. Ozil’s biggest issue wasn’t his work rate or his inability to track back. No, instead it was that of xenophobia. To Arsenal fans he wasn’t English and to Germany fans he wasn’t pure German. He was just labeled as lazy or indifferent so the respective fan bases didn’t look racist.

[@anthonymuhoho5037]

From non English arsenal fans, we didn't care about his nationality. If he had odegaard's tracking back and work rate and pressing, he'd be next level.

[@Motivatesouljourney]

[@BGeezy4sheezy]

Gimme a break. Ozil was a brilliant player, but by the end of his time at Arsenal he clearly didn’t care about football anymore; he wasn’t even trying, and failed to meet even the lowest standards of professionalism

[@warrenjames007]

Mesut Ozil Martin Odegard M-O

[@Jkev24]

Ozil was more flashy, while Odegaard is more steady and has a better work rate. I feel like Ozil had slightly higher peaks, but much lower valleys than Odegaard. And Odegaard clearly is a much better locker room presence than Ozil. I've always maintained Ozil was like adding NOS to a car. He was the ultimate luxury player that made an already good team great, but if your team was average it's like expecting NOS to help your Honda Accord win a race. Odegaard is more like an engine/transmission, he can make an average team into a good one - you can build your team around them while Ozil is best slotted into an already mostly tuned up squad.

[@MikuYTOfficial]

Arsenal was not a tuned squad . He made it look like it was tuned

[@Jkev24]

@@MikuYTOfficial never said Arsenal was a tuned squad, you just assumed I thought they were. In fact, I think that's why he struggled after the first season at arsenal. My assessment is exactly why I think Ozil is best for a tuned squad, arsenal really showed his weaknesses because they weren't tuned
