Are you suggesting Ode gets benched?

There’s a contingent of twitter “experts”, who are staunch believers that Odegaard is not overlapping enough, thus holding Saka back. They believe ESR or Havertz’s greater movement and willingness to overlap, will diminish the effectiveness of doubling up on Saka.

What they fail to answer to is how that would solve our continuous problems with central access? We have not managed to find our 8s all season and I see that as a much bigger issue, than pointing the blame at Odegaard and wanting to move him for inferior options. I’m all for greater movement and rotations in our front 5, but Odegaard has reached heights none of the other midfield options has come close to. I don’t see anyone replicating his finishing and moving Ode to the left, will limit his goalscoring.

there isn’t enough to award a foul as Gabriel had made an action to play the ball before any contact

Remember, that if a player tries to play the ball, it’s not a foul. This just is further proof how out of their depth they are, that their verdict contradicts 120 years of precedent. They are just making things up as they go along.
