Yup, exactly this. Arteta didn't find a solution to getting Odegaard and ESR in the same team, he just parked it. But we saw immediately what ESR gives you and its something we missed throughout the games he hasn't played - directness from the middle. Don't get me wrong I love Odegaard's game but I love ESR's too, why can't we have a bit of both ?
Man City have Gundogan and Silva, you can liken Silva to Odegaard with his floating around and guile in the pass and ESR with Gundogan with the more direct running and give and go's. It can work and would remove the predictability of us always attacking down the flanks. Both players work back so its not like there wouldn't be midfield cover for Partey
