Need to improve creativity wise. This Odegaard slump isn’t helping, but we are good at controlling games and good defensively. Also I beg our keeps become more confident
I can actually excuse this game. He’s coming back from a long injury, so it can’t be expected that after 1 game, and maybe 1 practice, he’s back to his usual standards. We need to give him a bit of time IMO.
Big Ø will be back to his usual excellence in no time.
Think every Arsenal fan right now would love if our keepers were more confident but I honestly don’t blame them when they’ve got Arteta playing mind games with both of them
