Maybe a lot of sleepless nights because of the child?
I found the biggest struggle as a new parent was sleep. Not just not getting enough, but getting poor quality sleep too.
With that in mind, I find it hard to believe that someone earning hundreds of thousands of pounds a week would not hire help throughout the night if they have a child who sleeps really badly.
I know I’d have been a better parent, husband and employee for the past two years if I’d been operating on a quality 7 to 8 hours sleep a night instead of anything between 2 and 6, depending on the night lol.
If I had the necessary money I’d sure as fuck have done something to help me get some good sleep. Would be really weird for a top level footballer to go it alone as if they’re a normal person on a normal salary who has no choice imo.

Yeah, I noticed that too, on his face, starting to loke like a skeleton, had no clue about him going vegan.
We are missing Edu more than I ever thought we would.

Yeah I heard Edu was often taking over the feeding and changing of any babies the players had. Big loss.

No, I what I had in mind I thought he was feeding the players.
He’s Vegan now? That explains a lot. That’ll lead to a drop in stamina , strength and focus.

How many elite athletes are even vegan btw?
To me it seems like a very reckless and hazardous move to change your diet so drastically if you’re an elite athlete.
They eat mostly pasta anyway these footballers
I heard they like lasagna.
Edu used to feed ALL of the players steak (on his BBQ) and eggs all of the time.
How the fuck have we not replaced this mechanism since his departure? How could they do that? Poor Martin.

Anyone got his stats for last night? Other than missing the golden chance, I’m really not sure what he did so bad.
Turning vegan is logically (not morally) stupid as an athlete but I don’t think you can blame that for his form this season.

Happy at least someone understood my post correctly 
It’s all about that raw, grass fed, free range meat and eggs.

Better than Oxil according to some. Laughable. I wouldn’t put him above Paul Merson.
Incredible talent, but he really isn’t the player some of us Gooners hold him up to be.
Now that he’s gone away with the team for ten days his child won’t be able to annoy him and he will return to his best.

Am I missing something here?
Ode is apparently vegan.
That’s probably why he’s playing like shit, if it’s a new development.
I can believe being a top athlete on a vegetarian diet, but being vegan is too much.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure I haven’t heard of any elite footballers being vegan.
Going on such an extreme diet is a pretty reckless/absurd move imo.
Eating twigs and bush leaves is probably the reason Ode’s form has been shit this season.
Get some proper protein down ya hatch, lad!
