When Trossard loses the ball and can't finish, he's shite.
When Odegaard is consistently not creating big chances, not scoring, not beating players, staying away from any physical contact (no duels), not making runs on-the-ball or off-the-ball, not leading the team as a captain should, etc etc, he's literally passing sideways and backwards with no desire to find the correct forward pass, nothing is ever said. He's completely immune towards any criticism.
What is the point I'm missing? That we don't create enough from open play - aka Odegaard as the main creator in the team has not really been creating much?
You still harping on FFS if you think Ode is the problem in this team you are missing the point entirely.

When Havertz misses, he's shite.
