Cannon Stats - The Analytics Podcast

Which players would you swap Odegaard with?


Listen Later

It has been too long of a break and we appologize for that. To make it up, Adam and Scott are coming in with some potential hot take topics here.

The duo starts out with a good hypothetical: which players in the world right now would you have serious considerations to replace Martin Odegaard at Arsenal?

Adam went with the following: Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala, maybe Cole Palmer but not really and a whole bunch of not really sure there is better options.

Scott went with the following: Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala, Pedri, Jude Bellingham

This is a fun exercise to do because I think you start realizing that while Odegaard might not be the best player in the position, the number of players that are for sure an upgrade, plus don’t have some other flaw in their game like their age that tilts things against them, is quite hard.

This digs into some of the bigger issues that we have with player discussion in general, especially how familiarity breeds contempt and a bit of grass is always greener with other players. Scott went deep into this topic if you haven’t seen it yet, it is worth checking out.

With Saka back on the grass and Scott with egg on his face for his pessimism, the next question is how do Arsenal set up and how do they go about setting up for the rest of the season? Also, how do they prioritize things while they are mostly safe in second place and set for Champions League qualification while juggling the Champions League?

Should Arsenal move Odegaard? Move Nwaneri? Move Saka to left-back (Joking)? Who is going to be starting striker?

It’s April 16th at the Santiago Bernabéu what does Arsenal’s eleven look like? What if we have a team that we expect to throw a deep block at Arsenal?

One the other big bits of news that has hit during our break is the addition of Andrea Berta as Director of Football.

It is an action packed episode and glad to get back into the swing of things.
