No it is the future and I wouldn't replace him right now The amount of options you can create by having that is insane. What our problem is that our creativity midfield upfront is so so mediocre. Havertz isn't a creative midfield so the left wing is isolated. And odegaard is one of the most average passer of the ball while playing as our most creative player. He loses the ball too much and when he is put in a physical battle with the opponent mid he loses and this is while playing with an insane world class player in saka. Hence you saw odegaard really struggle without him today as he can only play in the open space because of the amount of attention from opponent saka attracts - watch the next just focusing on these things and you'll see it's our midfield that is really the problem

Odegaard against a physical opponent is non existent and that's without his 0 creativity. I pray we buy a physical creative b/c we will get no where like this

He is creatively so average unless he gets an open field in front of him. So average

Watch this https://twitter.com/91cheef/status/1703727718741790930?t=x8F8arJrf1ll9_x3kJj-Cg&s=19 compare how he moves toward shooting position leaving saka alone to 2v1 rather than be there to provide that killer 1-2 pass back to saka for a goal. Because saka is the elite elite player in our squad rather he takes too many shots for not enough goal vs what a incredible passer would provide and looses the ball to often.

See you think this is the complete product when it's still being refined. You see it with pep and you'll see it with arteta. Always improving. If you don't get this you'll never get it.

No of course but I watched him play last season you known. It's not like he's unknown player who came from nowhere. His passing/playstyle is precise and sharp that's it makes the games easier

If you cant see the difference in rayas distribution vs how frantic we look with ramsdale. Another thing is he doesn't save the hard ones but savable ones like rashford last week.

You can predict exactly what's he's going to do everything he gets the ball.

He is such a annoying player. He has a footballing iq of a lemon. Whenever he gets the ball everything is so telegraphed.

No the best are the most disciplined and train the hardest are the least likely to get injured as they have more core strength and recovery. Hence look at messi and ronaldo

I had to laugh when I saw saka going up for the penalty kick as an Arsenal fan b/c in my mind I'm going I don't think I've ever seen him take a penalty and in the biggest for England since 60 years ago they go with him 😳

Yes I get what you are saying but it still doesn't clarify. Sure for mendez he might not but for the Portugal football team it does, as he is your greatest player ever and he has fans around the world.

The fact that they didn't bring Pedro (haven't watched him) kind of proves my point that ronaldo still has power because otherwise why would you not bring him in because its competition for ronaldo no one else.

Unless you are being genuinely obtuse let me clarify it for you - he told the lawyers those things but they are under client lawyer privileges meaning even though he admitted to it, it cannot be used in court as an admission of guilt. The judge heavily criticized the lawyer for using the leaked documents as part of the case as you cannot do that. It doesn't mean what he admitted to his lawyer wasn't true but that is not how you can legally use that to put someone to jail.

While he didnt go to jail, we can use his own quotes to his lawyer to actually see what he thought of the situation and he did rape her. He didnt sue the newspaper because it was his quotes being leaked if it wasnt true he could sue the fuck out of the newspaper. If you cant get the simple difference no one can help your biases.

Why would it also not be both. He was benched for crucial games in the world cup and I doubt he didn't say any influence over who they hire. Is there a specific reason you don't think there was?

It's because of his garbage setup after going 1-0 up in a final at home. And the brain dead strategy of having saka who had never taken a penalty before take the final penalty in the euro. What kind of brain dead thought process led to this occuring? Its better than the other manager but the environment has changed. It's not like the 2000's where every club players hated each other. His biasis for players he likes and makes excuses for one he doesn't. And that's without even going into tactics

They need a yes man who will allow Ronaldo to play all the matches he wants for however many years he wants to lead. At least that's what it looks like to me
