I got back to my senses and had to stop once he started making excuses for Odegaard....imagine saying he's suffering for being the only creative outlet in the team this season, like this is any different from the past 2 seasons where I must have missed Zidane and Pirlo offering him support!
Odegard's been a disaster for months now but nobody will come out and say it. He's the worst captain we ever had. Everything a captain shouldn't be. The way he gave that ball to Saka for the pen - fucking disgraceful. Rice is the captain, on the pitch - maybe not off it. Arteta has a hard decision coming up but he better make it. And if Odegard doesn't want to pick up his game then he's surplus. Don't know why we are signing Zubi either - why do we need him? We need an extra 8, not a 6. Extend Partey's contract - he's won that privilege. And let the poor bastard play in EVERY game. Arteta needs to sort his shit out. He's being applauded as a genius right now. A genius that lost a title by double figures but MIGHT get lucky in a big comp that could trump that disaster. Not saying he hasn't had his good moments, but the Odegard captaincy isn't something he should be clinging to. Or Gabriel - he'd be a good captain. Or Miles - Adams did it. Anyone with the desire which Odegard has lost.
