Odegaard has always reminded me of a tortured artist....how anyone can look at him and the way he plays and burden him with the captain's armband is beyond me.

Taking that penalty was showing who's the boss. He had no business taking it when we had Jorghino still on the field.

But you are right, he won't lose the armband, only a new manager would have the balls to correct this and identify proper leaders.

As said above, I’m glad you’re not the one who makes decisions for this club.

Because apparently there are ways to make things worse. I would have favoured Jorginho taking the penalty, but in the absence of Saka it’s Odegaard who takes penalties and actually stepping up to take a penalty (not only that but taking the first one in the shootout after having missed) does show both courage and leadership.

Gabriel has had a great season I agree with you, but he got himself a bit too involved in that Melee prior to the penalty, and he’s always been combustible and easy to provoke. I don’t know if we need to look at the captain role at some point, but the last thing I’d do at this moment in time is to fuck up morale anymore than it is. Arteta has done that enough by running his team into the ground. One of these competitions (if not both) should have been sacrificed especially given the squad available.
