Arsenal FC | 2025/26 Season

You have to pick strongest 11, that means captains on the bench

We both know Arteta will not bench a 100% fit Odegaard. His pressing, off the ball work and duels in what Arteta values; Eze doesn’t provide that consistently.

I think Odegaard is best playing as a secondary playmaker - his short Cameo at Newcastle United was a prime top example.

Here’s a polished rewording of your passage with the same meaning but a smoother flow:

I understand this is only a hypothetical, since Odegaard still needs a few more weeks before returning to the squad.

However, if we imagine the captain is fully fit and available for the Chelsea match next weekend, I can’t shake the uneasy feeling that Arteta would still leave Eze on the bench in favour of his favourite pet.

I’m on the same page on this and should Arsenal fall short yet again, chances are Odegaard would be the main culprit.

Bhai aap ka chatgpt prompt sath copy ho gya lol

On a serious note, Eze was unbelievable today and Trossard always contributes from LW. It’s going to be difficult to take their spots for anybody. Eze will start I have no doubt. The last match when everybody was available, the mid three was Rice behind Eze and Odegaard. Zubi started on the bench.
