2) Odegaard looked way off it

Odegaard

Perhaps it should have been expected after playing so little football this season, but the Norwegian international did not replicate his fine display against Benfica at the Emirates last night.


Odegaard was fairly anonymous for the majority of the game and was ineffective when delivering from set-pieces. Perhaps it would have been wiser if Arteta had rested him and kept Emile Smith Rowe in the side instead.
