I know he has been injured recently but he hasn’t produced quite the same numbers this season. We have to look at last season as isolated from this season and ultimately the most important thing is getting the best out of the team. I don’t necessarily think it will make us drastically better but it could make us a little better collectively. If it allows Kai’s level to go up and Ødegaard’s level doesn’t drop that much, which I don’t think it will then it could be a net positive. At the very least it is an idea worth considering and shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand.
Odegaard hasn’t been performing anywhere close to that level this season. He’s taking shots from outside the box, and he’s not creating chances for others. He’s also not been great foil for Saka, weird considering how good that duo was before
Odegaard is great but hasnt been the same this season last season we were a transitional team we thrived off a counterattack and odegaard was great for that but hes not that good when it comes to breaking a low block which is what we desperately need.
At LCM he can play that Xhaka role weve been begging for he wont do it as great as Xhaka did but he’s defensively secure enough and will be better offensively, while our RCM can be someone who is more offensively minded and there main role can be that final action like a Vieira, Havertz, ESR or Trossard.
He got 15G/8A from RCM in the PL last season. He should not be the one moved around to accommodate for the others that aren’t performing.

💯. We need to see him grow in that position. More goals and assists. Not make him play somewhere elevate just to fit in an underperformer.
Huh? If a change makes the whole team better, you make the change. Not even saying we should move Odegaard. Just this perspective makes no sense.
I heat you but last season is totally different.

Because that’s not what the team needs. Vieira/ESR can do the same from RCM. Also, Saka would be better served with a dynamic player.
MO needs to work more in the build up phase, also his passing will help unlock Martinelli better.
I hear you but I also think Ode could produce similar numbers in the LCM…happy to be proven wrong but I’d at least try it for a few games
