  • 0 through balls. You really have to wonder what the instructions are, because how do you end up with that unless you’re trying to.

    Wondering about this too and if Arteta has smth to do with it? Bc even tho he often didnt play well at Chelsea, he progressed the ball way more and had more through balls than at Arsenal so far.

    He always plays these passes to his left or right but never attempts to make a cross or vertical throug ball… but then, why would Arteta instruct him to do that?



















  • Wouldnt Odegaard and Kai Havertz changing positions and roles be a very small but effective change in lineup?

    I am not just talking about LCM vs RCM, but the role as well; Odegaard seems to play higher this season (if we look at his heatmap) , he could create more if he sits deeper again and

    Havertz looks so lost in midfield, literally not touching the ball or just bassing back/sideways, however the last 3 games where he played higher, he looked a lot more promising, especially his link up was surprisingly good. He is simply a player who looks better higher up.

    I just wish Arteta would test it and at least try it once. I dont like Havertz as LCM like most ppl and Ode doesnt look very comfy either.
