Paul Scholes labels Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard a "big problem" for Mikel Arteta amid a challenging season. Scholes highlights how Odegaard's injuries and loss of form have severely affected Arsenal's creativity, impacting their performance in front of goal.
Arsenal narrowly defeated Newcastle United 1-0, but Scholes criticizes Odegaard's positioning, claiming he often plays too deep and fails to fulfill his role effectively. “That football, it’s just bulls***,” Scholes states, emphasizing the need for Odegaard to step up in crucial remaining matches.
In addition to his concerns about Odegaard, Scholes expresses skepticism about summer signing Martin Zubimendi, questioning his ability to adapt to the Premier League's demands. He notes that Zubimendi might not have faced such high-pressure situations while at Real Sociedad.
As for the title race, Scholes favors Manchester City, asserting they are better equipped to win consistently. He points out that while Arsenal struggles, City maintains a strong flow and has the experience of their manager to guide them through the season. The stakes are high as Arsenal aims to reclaim their form and keep their title hopes alive.
