That he’s a soy-boy fuck who is affected when his Whoop band tells him he’s not in the top 20 sleepers in the world? Is it too difficult to ask for 8 hours of bliss in the land of nod?

It’s obviously that.

He’s probably taking car of baby duties at night to give his wife a break. He’s a responsible father and husband afterall. Another reason why he’s captain of the team. Leads by example, on and off the pitch.

I think it would definitely have been a factor in those first few weeks (I first mentioned it as a bit of a joke) but now it can’t be a key factor.

Must have enough support in place to help him and his Mrs, he’s just not recovered fully from his injuries given the lack of break between games. Even if he has now, the poor form probably taken its toll on him and he’s fighting to get back to his best.

I don’t think he’s actually been as bad as made out, just his decision making has been half a second slower and he isn’t scoring to cover it up.

I still remember everyone (not on this forum) putting Adebayor’s dip in goalscoring form down to cutting his dreads back in 2008 haha.

Edit: Fuck me, can’t believe that was 17 years ago.

Great effort off the ball but fuck me some of his passing in that first hour was an awful.
Did grow into the game though.

Great goal, but agree, he blocked several of our own passes which were intended for other players. I can never fault his work rate and pressing, he leaves everything on the pitch. But maybe he tries too hard and mistakes then flow from that. Pleased to see him getting goals though. Hopefully, he can go on a run now!

Badly need something else in attack to take some of the creative burden off him

Bottle job

Literally the only one on our team making anything happen.

Bad miss yes.

I don’t care how good his first touch is. Those moments change seasons. He’s bottled it again. He does this often. Should be subbed off.

He scores that and the tie is completely different at 2-1

He is basically a shit player the whole season (so far)

3/10 performance over the season so far. Can’t shoot a ball to save his life. Used to be his one of his best skills, now it’s his worst.

Mikel should ask Nwaneri to teach Kai and Ode how to shoot.

he is a vegan now right? Has he gone all floppy maybe on top of new dad syndrome :trossard:

do the drills, shooting practice.
give part of their salary to MLS and Ethan if they miss the target.

Yep. Since his vegan diet, he has lost a lot of body fat but muscle too.

He’s having a really poor season by his standards. At least now people realise that he is not your prime output playmaker.

If Arsenal are going to be ruthless this summer - we need to find a proper output playmaker. Odegaard profile isn’t unique either; he’s replaceable should that topic be entertained.

I thought he looked quite skinny since his return from injury, can see it in his face. The man needs to put on some muscle for sure. He’s very easily dispossessed of the ball.
