'Just bullsh*t' - Paul Scholes claims Martin Odegaard 'doesn't play his position properly' as Arsenal face 'big problem'
Scholes' Scathing Assessment of Odegaard
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has delivered a scathing assessment of Martin Odegaard, claiming the Arsenal captain has become a "big problem" for Mikel Arteta. Despite the Gunners sitting at the top of the Premier League table, Scholes believes the Norwegian's tendency to drop too deep is stifling the team's attacking fluidity.
Odegaard's Playing Style Under Fire
Arsenal secured a vital 1-0 win over Newcastle last weekend to keep their title hopes alive, but the performance did little to convince Scholes. The former United midfielder argued that Odegaard is frequently dropping too deep, disrupting the balance of a side that is already struggling to maintain fluidity in the middle of the park.
