Solbakken on Ødegaard's role
🔹An all-phase midfielder.
🔹Never played him as a 10 for Norway.
🔹First defender, press leader
🔹Tone setter.
🔹Trigger player.
🔹Decides in-game tactics. When to play 4-1-4-1 and when to play 4-4-2, depending on gamestate.
@brcszn@swin_j@priv_vel5448@hadii_szn@goatne11i Vitinha and Pedri have about the same defensive responsibilities as Odegaard. "Defensive midfielders and attacking midfielders" in name alone, not in reality. You speak like your only knowledge of football is from FIFA. Titles and numbers rarely exist in modern football anymore.
@brcszn@swin_j@priv_vel5448@hadii_szn@goatne11i Odegaard hasn't been an attacking midfielder in near 4 years. Last time he was a proper attacking midfielder was 22/23 and even then he played more as an 8 dictating play in the latter half of the campaign.
Money constant is actually one of the most useless songs in Afrobeats history
It’s the only song I know that was so big locally but had zero impact outside Nigeria.
Only made for parties in Lagos. Nothing more.
@ore4hunnid The tactical aspect is in non existent too. How is someone getting a free header in your box when you're in lockdown mode? At 2-2, you take it to extra time, what the hell was that 3rs goal? 😂😂 Argentina weren't even pushing for that goal.
People watch Arsenal go into a defensive shape and talk about parking the bus, like it's just putting players behind the ball. There's an art to controlling the game without the ball. Can't park the bus and let someone get a free header, or a shot off inside your penalty area.
Illan Meslier has not played a competitive senior minute of football since March 2025, got replaced by a 35 y/o journeyman GK for Leeds but is good enough for Arsenal?
Anyone saying anything other than this being a terrible signing is just lying to you. He has underperformed his xG in EVERY season of his career - objectively a bad goalkeeper.
Somehow the first piece of business we have done this summer has made us worse? What a shambles: #AFC
