Arsenal need Martin Odegaard more than ever right now, but he has struggled.

Biggest issue feels like the breaking up of Arsenal's right flank and, in particular, the Odegaard-Saka partnership.

Odegaard and Saka started 12 games together this season.

Arsenal's record for them:

8 wins, 4 draws and 30 goals scored.

Just as big an issue is the squad quality, beyond the 13/14 first teamers it's poor and not title winning quality.
Reminds me of Sanchez who was top draw playing with utter dross around him at times.

There is no Saka Ødegaard partnership, it’s only Saka bruv,

I can’t disagree more.

Saka, as deserving of praise as he is, isn’t the biggest problem. The problem isn’t singular.

Or left wing, striker, backup striker and right winger are all injured. This is the biggest issue.

This situation would make prime KDB look piss poor

I’m surprised there’s this much analysis into his form.

Take away any team’s first choice front 3 and their main creator will struggle. It’s pretty straightforward, isn’t it?

Yeah, I think a big part of it is that's his the team's chief creator - and the weapons he creates with have been taken away.
