Statman Dave's video: How Martin Odegaard Will Fit into Mikel Arteta s Arsenal Starting XI Formation Tactics

Hey guys welcome back! Today we’ll be taking a look at Arsenal's latest signing, Martin Odegaard and how he will fit into Mikel Arteta’s side. ► SUBSCRIBE to STATMAN DAVE: http://bit.ly/StatmanDaveYoutube After an outstanding season on-loan at Real Sociedad in the 19/20 season, Norwegian international Martin Odegaard returned to his parent club Real Madrid. Although many Real Madrid fans expected Odegaard to come straight into the side and have an influence on the team this season - Zinedine Zidane had only handed the 22 year old three La Liga starts. So this loan move could be an opportunity for Odegaard to further prove himself ready to his parent club and also solve some of the issue’s Arsenal have faced going forward in the Premier League under Mikel Arteta this season. ► CHECK US OUT ON TWITCH: http://bit.ly/SMDTwitch Now let’s take a look at how Martin Odegaard could fit in at Arsenal. Throughout his career Odegaard has played in two main positions. Either on the right wing where he can look to come inside onto his stronger left foot. Or in a central, attacking midfield position. The latter is where he played the best football of his career so far for Real Sociedad, either in a 4-2-3-1 as a number 10 or a 4-3-3 as a free eight. Odegaard has the perfect skill set for a playmaker. Not only does he have the vision and passing ability to create chances for teammates, but he’s got the technical ability and composure to operate in the tightest of spaces too and he uses these to great effect in the final third. ► JOIN PATREON: https://bit.ly/StatmanPatreon After much success in a 3-4-3, Arteta has moved away from the system and towards a 4-2-3-1.In this shape Odegaard would slot in at number 10. The double pivot would free the Madrid man to receive in more dangerous positions where he can quickly look to create for teammates. Whilst this will likely be how Odegaard starts his Arsenal career, I expect a switch to incorporate two creative midfielders or free eight’s. This is the system that Pep Guardiola had his best success with in England and where Arteta learnt his trade. So it’s logical to assume that Arteta will want to build something similar at the Emirates. It also makes sense from an attacking standpoint. This season Arsenal’s biggest problem has been scoring goals and their 1.2 goals per game this season is the joint 12th best in the Premier League, comparable to the likes of Crystal Palace and Brighton (both 1.2).
