When players make a run and Odegaard is facing the right way he will play the pass. Im glad he doesn't try those eye of the needle passes through 5 players, you know, those Hollywood passes.
But I think he needs more options when he is on the ball, to get the most out of him.
That's exactly what I've been saying.
Our wide players are two wide, they are't in a 3 in front of Ode they are to his side, the only one ahead of him is Auba.
A CAM is only as good as his options and in our set up his options are too limited, so we get the old sideways, backwards passing.
Ask yourself, Auba is up front alone surrounded by CB's ......... who would you pass to?
This is very straight forward sht and yet Arteta.
