The difference between him and Eze, Eze doesn’t want the attention he just want to be at the end of the chance and that’s why we need both of them in the team together. You can’t leave out odegard for Eze the midfield will be empty

That's why I get amazed when our fans are attacking him. At his best, no one in that club comes close to him. Always asking for the ball, because he knows the responsibility to create chances lies on his shoulders.

What are you saying?, they played together against City. Odegaard is obviously still nursing injury and not fully fit that’s why he is not starting. They are a completely different profile of midfielders

It is a good analysis about the moment, but Odegaard doesn't do this enough also. Also, too many times Odegaard has shown lack of vision especially regarding passing the ball to Gyokeres. Sometimes he doesn't see the picture quickly enough and he passes the ball backwards rather than passing the ball to Gyokeres in space. One thing I want Odegaard to improve on is when he is inside the 18. Don't come out! He has enough technical skills in tight spaces to either dribble past nervous defenders or draw a penalty or shoot with his right foot (which he never does).

I'm surprised this is coming from Jamie. Nice analysis

He’s always asking for the ball and never hide behind opposition players whenever we’re dictating the play. I feel this is one thing Eze needs to develop in his play next season, you’re the 10 and you need to always ask for the ball.

If you don’t see what Ø brings to this team, you just so short sighted.

Arteta is too dumb to be a football manager, he doesn't know the strengths and weaknesses of his players and how to exploit them, that's why it took us 34 Premier League games before MLS started playing, proper football knowledge is that Odegaard and Eze play together.

His problem is that he only does this once every three 3 months. That’s not enough to win the league

Yes that's one thing about Eze I see it first with him in England national He does not want to be the center of the team He does not show up to carry the burden He just want to be a passenger and do whats given to him You can't do that a top team number 10 He play like he is inferior , just do his own and vanish He needs to shoulder responsibility

Arteta needs to find ways to start both of them

@DipzR67940 You somehow used a separate point to make a completely different (*WRONG*) point This implies leaving Rice as the single pivot, we would be cooked every week.

Odegaard always wants the ball. Eze gets the ball and taps it back tot the side. Not like he’s trying to make space he’s just passing it back to pass it back odegaard is actually trying to draw players out and play that crucial pass. Eze just wants to shoot. We need odegaard.

I propose Arteta plays Odegaard in the mid with Rice & EZE at 10. MLS is good as well so he can be alternating the midfield together with Ode. Rice starts always. I’ll like to see Odegaard start more because he can spot a through pass, goal opportunity > than anyone in the team.

That was a great piece of leadership we saw there 😮‍💨

Ødegaard partners well with Saka on the right just like Calafiori partners well with Trosard on the left.

I disagree that would be too attacking, i think they both suit different matchups and game states. But do think with a better LW then Havertz + Saka you can facilitate an Eze better.

Horses for causes, hence the big squad. Odergaard more suited for ultra deep lying low blocks 5 men defences.He can find a pass, especially when legs are tiring. Eze is dangerous against attacking teams like against Man City. He will kill you in open spaces.

The only way both start, is for Eze to go on the left wing. Eze and Odegaard cannot start against a top team as central mid fielders

Nobody is talking about the rice pass back to him

Finally someone talking sense, eze and ode can play together, we need eze to grab that LM position and make it his.

I totally agree ✊️❤️🤍, love my man just get him a skillful LW and Saka stays fit ., and I promise u, you'll see the best of Odegaard 😤

Bro. Odegaard when playing free is soo underrated. He’s the most intelligent player in Arsenal’s squad currently. Pulling the defenders, creating space, seeing space, calling for the ball, creating the chance instead of being selfish and shooting. He’s our cap for a reason!!!

Watching that goal again from this angle, it seems both Odegaard and Trossard had played same scenario before maybe in training

@LandLordNXT77 Nothing dear

The midfield empty? Eze isn’t a creator he is a finisher that wants to be on the end of things. Works when you a big fish in a small pond but at top level being involved 5 mins in 90 isn’t enough esp for a CENTRAL player. Maybe he can learn lwf but lets remember thats theory

I hate that he always wants the ball yrt he even isn't our best player. The ball has to always be given to gyokeres or bukayo at times not him

I'd really fancy the idea of having, Eze and Ødegaard in the same 11

One is a final ball specialist, the other a playmaker. Different profiles.

One gud creation from ordegard and we suddenly forget his stinkers where he was needed most

He turned up on Sunday and showed why he was captain!! He too the responsibility tbh

I believe once Arteta find a way to play to play Odegaard and Eze in midfield playing together, it will be his greatest coup in a long line of great achievements

Jamie have been saying all the tight things lately.. Whats happening man? 😂

Trossad hitting form is the only reason eze has not been shifted to the wings

THIS!!!! Been saying this for months. Absolutely need to get both in the same team
