Yeah that’s exactly what people fail to realize. There would be a need for some adaptation as our lcm usually has more defensive responsibilities and our rcm has more pressing responsibilities ( and tbh odegaard is our best presser BUT that should not ve the reason to be the starter). Martinelli is our best finisher along with trossard yet he never gets isolated as we do not hace a proper “passer” for him. His output with someone that could feed the ball to him would skyrocket. And odegaard also has an extreme bias for his left foot, which is a main cause for his lack of overlaps. Basically him and saka ocupy the same position if you look at the heat maps.
I could keep going about this, but I really believe either esr or fabio should be playing at rcm. Even with great output, Saka could do much more. And odegaard while great and one of my favorite players should have a different role, more of an enabler due to his skillset imo. Martinelli should be our top scorer yet he’s doing dogwork on the wing this season if we’re being honest, having to take on 1 or 2 players each time just to get in.
