The Gunners veteran is not suitable for starting, he performed poorly in three consecutive games

At 3 a.m. on October 2, in the second round of the Champions League stage, Arsenal defeated Olympiacos 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium, ushering in two consecutive Champions League wins! Is it a perfect show? Not necessarily, but Arteta rotated heavily, with several starters shining: David Raya and Martin Subimedi performed steadily, and Yorke did not score but was full of vitality. However, when it comes to the best of the game, Odgao is the one - unlike some teammates, he has put his name on the weekend's starting list against West Ham.

It can be said that Ode had a very disappointed year due to an ankle injury last season. The captain has been in a sluggish state for a long time, and fans and experts have questioned whether he can return to his courage. Although it is too early, the Norwegian has made a comeback against Newcastle on Sunday, and has been upgraded to Olympiacos on Wednesday. Fans have seen the "he who I haven't seen for a long time" and their performance is quite amazing.

Facing the Greek giants, Odegao kept sending out accurate passes through the defense line and assisted Saka to score. "The Evening News" reporter Simon Collins gave him a high score of 9/10, praising him as "sharp as a work of art." The data are also dazzling: in 95 minutes, the expected goal + assist is 1.65, the ball touches are 86 times, the key passes are 4 times, 10 long passes are in place, 1 shot is on the right track, the success rate is 100%, plus 1 clearance. Odegao, who performed like this, will definitely occupy the team's midfield start on the weekend.

Compared with Odgao's amazing performance, Ben White and Martinelli (although they scored) are not considered good. However, the most disappointing thing is Trosad. The Belgian started two consecutive games, but was even more sluggish than when he was against Newcastle. To describe it in one word, it is "frustrating" - he has had good opportunities, but wasted time and time again by outrageous shots or pass mistakes. After the game, Trosad scored only 6 points and was criticized by the media for "squandering opportunities."

Trosad's data is very dismal: in 73 minutes of playing time, he expected to score 0.48 goals and assists, but both ended up being zero. He touched the ball for 48 times and only completed 17 passes, with a 50% confrontation success rate, conceded 14 times, and was beaten twice. This performance once again confirms that this 1.73-meter assaulter is more suitable for substitute surprises. So despite seemingly harshness, Arteta should consider removing it from the starter against West Ham over the weekend.
