Amazing statistics emphasize the fall of Arsenal Star from grace this season

Arsenal was excluded from the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday evening and lost 3-1 against Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals. The pressure is still committed to the players, the manager and the club to raise large trophies, but their captain continues to collect criticism from all perspectives.

In the middle of Arsenals, the loss in Paris continued to fight through goals
Ødegaards drops this season. The Norwegian captain has 13 hit contributions in 38 appearances this season all over Europe and the Premier League (five goals, eight templates). He missed the time at the beginning of the season, which recovered from an ankle injury, but his self -confidence is still on the field. For more context: Arsenal has not a single player in the Premier League with double -digit goals. Kai Havertz is closest to nine because he recovered from a thigh injury.

For comparison, Ødegaard had 18 contact contributions in 35 league games. He had three goals in the Champions League with two games played because Arsenal had done before a round. This is a player who was talking to the Premier League player of the season last year and has a great decline in form.

Statistics from her loss in Paris stands the most and is the history of the season for Ødegaard.

Ødegaard and Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya created the same amount of opportunities in the second leg: one. The chief creator and goalkeeper, albeit a modern player, is unacceptable. Even in the first leg at home he was not good enough on the ball and was often equipped by PSG's midfield and defense.

Just not good enough for a player who wears the bracelet. The simplest explanation is that his self -confidence is falling, but he also suffers from Arsenal's tactical and players. Mikel Areta uses his captain as a right-sided midfielder in a three-player system. He plays his best when he is in a triangle with Bukayo Saka and right on the edge of the box. In the last two seasons it was Ben White in this defender position, which has the habit of overlapping more to stretch defenders.

This season, combined with Arsenal's injuries to strikers, the teams closed this page by putting the Norwegian under pressure on the ball and twice up to date. Wood, which is more technically gave to the ball than white, is asked to play more with the ball at his feet. He sometimes overlapped, but the ball is too often recycled to Ødegaard in the right corner of the box. He lacked self -confidence to play balls or the quality of finding players on the back post. Too often Ødegaard takes a few details, switches on the ball, rejects it to shoot and cycling it again on the left side, which is not so much attack.

And that is that Saka will return for a thigh injury in the past few weeks.

Without Saka, impotence was with him to score goals and score goals. Declan Rice was the one who appeared in these moments. Ødegaard urgently needs the low season to decompress, but perhaps Areteta will examine tactical changes this summer through the transfer window.
