Alan Shearer has slammed Martin Ødegaard after Arsenal’s defeat at home to Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday. The Gunners
conceded in the fourth minute through Ousmane Dembele and then in the second half Arsenal scored through a header by Mikel Merino. Which was ruled out for offside by VAR.
Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard also had chances to save from Gianluigi Donnarumma while PSG almost added to their lead when Gonzalo Ramos’s effort hit the crossbar towards the end. Ødegaard
was particularly quiet in the match, struggling to produce any movement. Before being replaced late on by youngster Ethan Vaneri. “Odegaard was a bit of a disappointment tonight, I probably expected him to show more leadership,”
Shearer, who is also a pundit for คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย , said. “
He didn’t have the right passing skills or the runs into the box that we’re used to seeing. And they were marked too.”
It wasn’t just Shearer who was unhappy. Wayne Rooney also slammed Arsenal’s midfield, saying they didn’t put pressure on their opponents systematically.
“Arsenal’s midfield three were very disorganised, trying to press the ball all the time but leaving huge gaps like in the first goal,” Rooney said at half-time.
“They should have zonalised the game, let PSG have the ball, not press every time because that would have played right into PSG’s favour.”
