    I’m not sure what happened, but I find my self agreeing with NNT way more frequently now and I don’t like it……

      NNT can preach all he wants, unless something drastically or unforeseen happens, Ode aint going anywhere or aint gonna get stripped off captaincy.

      We signed Ode on a permanent with the future basis that he will be the captain of the club, that’s how i view it. If Arteta didnt want him, this story ends after that first loan spell.

        It would be fair to say we may want to look at positioning/role, esp bc Havertz means the puzzle pieces don’t quite fit together + absence of Partey, but I really don’t see the basis for him leaving. It’s certainly not great that some fans have turned on him after 10 matches & just 1-2 months after extending his contract. I’m not sure if he has the capacity to be a more creative playmaker and go up a level, but he’s got an injury and we’re playing down the middle less to accommodate Declan and the fact that other teams have adapted to our attack. That doesn’t reflect badly on Odegaard at all. As for feeding the ball to Saka -Odegaard didn’t play at Seville & still didn’t get fed the ball much, so…

        I do think Declan would make for a good/better captain on the pitch, like a Busquets style one, but it’s not the right time.

      I can’t agree with him saying Ødegaard isn’t necessary on our squad. He thinks Viera and Smith-Rowe are better, and I can’t agree to that

      Maybe Ødegaard can be shifted into LCM if there’s substance to the theory that Øde is limiting Saka

      70-30.

      70% agreeing with him. 30% questionable.

      Currently, I don’t agree with his idea of Kai as a striker. Strikers do the ball striking thing pretty well, and have a certain “hunger” about them. Kai plays like a creator.

      It should only be done if we have no choice.

        For me his content is like 50% clear-cut stuff if you look carefully and read into things well, about 20% stuff that he’s truly early in understanding, and remaining stuff I doubt or he’s wrong

      What do you agree with him abt? He does have good takes imo, the problem is that he acts like he is the second coming of pep, his opinion is 100% correct all the time and refuse to admit being wrong
