Martin Ødegaard: El Capitanø

[Ljonin]

His usual post international performance unfortunately.

He and Mikel has to sort that out, can’t have your captain perform to 65 % every time he’s been away on international duty.

Ødegaard at his best probably wins us the game today

 

[Gooner Zig]

Another weak as piss performance at the Etihad.

That's really harsh mate

 

[fute]

Good game. Can't question his effort. He is everywhere.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Not sure what people are expecting in a game where we barely had the ball. He never stopped running, made some tackles, and looked to create on the few times there actually was opportunity to do so. A huge part of why they were also unable to create much.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Put it this way, KDB did less than Ode today

 

[Tir Na Nog]

xArmWaving was off the charts today.

 

[Rasmi]

I hope he gets injured 3-4 weeks so the idiots in here can watch Arsenal without Ødegaard. We will have worse run than last season. He is by far our most important player

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

People remember his failed though passes but don't see the rest. The few moments we controlled the game was because of him and his pressing is insane.

I've seen Real Madrid get battered at the Etihad in the CL and people are firing shots at Ødegaard after a decent performance that even got us a point

 

[celestis]

That's really harsh mate

Been a day later and I still don't think it is . Edit :Yeah it's probably a bit harsh

 

[Thrice]

Both midfields canceled each other out in this game. That's what happens when you have Rice and Rodri on the field.
Ødegaard did what he could, but you don't just go to Etihad and dominate the midfield. There's no team that can do that.

 

[SA Gunner]

I hope he gets injured 3-4 weeks so the idiots in here can watch Arsenal without Ødegaard. We will have worse run than last season. He is by far our most important player

So you want Ødegaard to get injured, so that you can be vindicated here.

Never change bro.

A bit underwhelming from him I didn't see anything worthy of praise. Another match he will get away with I guess.

Had a poor game offensively. The performance was almost same as KDB at the other end though and if KDB can get away with that, Ode should definitely be allowed to get away with his performance specifically since defensively he was much better

 

[Gooner Zig]

His two key passes to Saka and Trossard should have resulted in at least one goal. That being said he had a mixed game, overshot some through balls that he'd normally hit with his eyes closed.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

He did okay offensively but this was a do not lose match. All four forwards put in a defensive shift and any attacking we did had him at the heart of things. He made our specific system work for this match

 

[Maybe]

He is the only one of our forward players who is comfortable on the ball. Saka needs to step up or sit on a bench if he is not fit

 

[Iwobeast]

Still don't understand how he missed that one Havertz run, could've put him 1v1

 

[Dennis10]

Does anyone know where this interview can be seen in full length? Guessing it would be on some scandinavian channel (Viaplay) or something, but haven't found it yet..

Pretty high praise for Ødegaard though..

 

[Gooner Zig]

Still don't understand how he missed that one Havertz run, could've put him 1v1

I think he genuinely felt Havertz was offside (couldn't see Gvardiol playing him on), Havertz is clear 1v1 if Ode puts him through there

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

he on pace for another 20+G/A season so far he 18G/A.

Love this consistency from him he deserve more assist that pass to ESR just before our 2nd goal was elite deserved a goal

 

[GoonerJay24]

Top class again. Better than overhyped Maddison, Foden etc. If we don't start winning trophies, we'll struggle keeping guys like him and Saliba.
