Odegards work rate is also incredible, the guy presses like a machine for 90 minutes week in week out.

Odegard doesn’t cry like Bruno

Øde is a workhorse with Özil's skillset

What a €32m steal! His energy is unbelievable. He never stops running. He generally looks like a humbled man, and he seems very comfortable at Arsenal. I can see him at Arsenal for years to come.

You cant even call odegaard a 10 anymore, he controls games from deep now

Odegaard all day long and I'm not an arsenal fan...

as a united fan odegaard is better can actually control games instead of Bruno who looks like he's playing hot potato with the ball

Odegaard is showing everyone why he was scored by Real Madrid as a teenager…

Bruno Fernandes will collapse and die in 30mins if he tried to run like Martin Odegaard.

Odegaard is on a different level to Bruno. Ability with ball and first class temperament for his age.

Ø does everything literally man what a player we have ...

Difference is Odegaard is a generational talent and a positive leader. Bruno is a slightly better and angrier version of Benayoun.

Odegaard clear. It’s not even about the whining. Bruno plays braindead risky passes when he should retain possession. Always trying the Hollywood pass instead of making the right decision. People say that Bruno would cook in a Pep side… Bruno would drive Pep insane with his stupid decision making.

It's not even a slight at Bruno but I don't want to see his name mentioned next to Odegaard anymore. It's delusion at this point.

Nice to see United fans being level-headed and not insecure. This is the attitude fans of big clubs have. Could never be Liverpool or City...

-Press -Defends -Creates time on the ball -Leads by example

I honestly think Odegaard is like no other - if he sustains this level for next 3-4 years he will truly be regarded one of a kind

Odaguard is nuts! I’m a neutral and he truly is world class! He sees a pass nobody else sees and has an engine that is second to none! Let alone a sturdy captain that is a total team player! Love watching this guy work!

People forgetting how important is to have a player who can dictate tempo of a game all by his own. Modric- Toni Kroos duo does the same thing for Madrid for ages. Xavi-Iniesta did for Barca. Scholes did for Man United. You have be extremely technical and intelligent to do this on pitch. Ødegaard is such kind of player. He gives you balance by providing creativity and also doing dirty work. (Something Ozil failed to do) Arteta recognized this with in months after Martin came to Arsenal as loanee. That's why he pressed hierarchy to sign Norwegian because he knew this guy could revamp the whole midfield. CR7 recognized, Pep recognized it. So there has to be something about this guy.

Reality is that being a good player isn't enough these days. You have to still add value to the team when you're not having the most effective game yourself, or you just become a defensive liability, particularly against better opposition. Odegard gives you exceptional work rate and control even if he doesn't score or assist

There’s no contest, Odegaard outclasses Fernandes in every department. Attitude, commitment, work rate, technical ability and maturity.

Mark is the best “youtube” pundit. He looks at the game without bias and speaks straight facts. Well played sir

Thanks for your non biased views each week, nice that you give credit to other teams 👍🏻

Odegaard has taken the crown of the hardest presser in the league. Odegaard is an anomaly. He has the finesse of Ozil and the workrate of viera. He will take KDB thrown as the best creative player in the league.

Let me say it like this, if united and arsenal were to swap ødegaard for bruno then they would also switch places on the table. Before ødegaard, arsenal were just like united.. it was all about booting runners for auba. This whole arteta project is built around Ødegaard and his ability to control the ball and control the tempo of a game. He is a player that is able to make 80+ passes in the opponents half with a 90% + accuracy. That is completely unique in the modern game. Goldbridge is right, he is nothing like KDB or Bruno who are both much more direct players.. Ødegaard is more like Bernardo Silva, but with a much higher mobility.

At this point Ødegaard should be considered a 90 at FC25, everything below 88 is disrespectful

Bruno is a one-dimensional playmaker with a bad attitude. Odegaard can do it all and runs until he collapses.

FIFA in the 90’s, that’s exactly what he does and he takes those ranged shots that go in flying into the top corner😂😂😂

Odegaard this season has finally shaped into a type of playmaker the world hasn't seen since Riquelme.

where's the hail Mary🤣you killed me there.

Only real journalist on KZfaq. Keep up the good work mark🎉

Odegod… is better than De Bruyne off the ball. He presses way more. He controls the press of the offensive line

Norway has had a few talented players that never really lived up to the hype... People in Norway was almost hoping he would fail, it was sad to see. "Janteloven" and whatever. Facebook warriors didn't like how he went to Real Madrid at the first opportunity. I'm so happy he succeeded.

“An Ødegaard type player” he’s one of a kind lol

People should also take into consideration the different tactics that both teams use. Arsenal is more of a possession based attack while man united look to be more direct hence bruno will always try and look for the 1st time killer ball, odegaard has the option to keep the ball, find little neat passes and probe till the chance opens up and plays that killer pass

Incomparable, but sure, odengaard all the way

Still can't believe how real Madrid sold him

Well said ! Compared to last season ( Arsenal), we less prolific wetry to conserve energy by keeping the ball . We still attack, but we pick up loose balls exploiting mistakes made by the opposition . Ball retention based on our ball passing which is and always been thd best since Wenger . The pass masters . A team that could do well against us is a team with a mid low block strong midfield good attacking options . Our style non systematic non tactical we can invert or have a free roamer . We play different ways pending on what team we play .

A team-defining player. Unique

It’s a mismatch….. Fernandes isn’t in, or anywhere near, Odegaards level. There is no comparison 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Odegaard leads by example. Will not flop around moaning and diving and wont throw tantrums at the team or referees when losing.

Anyone else getting Thriller vibes from Mark’s hoodie?😂

Ødegard wasnt looked after or tutored when he was young, madrid really only wanted finished articles to some extent...shows how smart hes been in the meantime and how he found a fantastic mentor in Arteta.

I think you may have just made something clear: arsenal have a team with backup in almost every position, they spread the goals around so there is no dependency on one goalscorer - but there is no replacement for Odegaard. You can put other talented players there like smith-rowe, fabio vieira, but arsenal wont be the same. If he is unavailable im not sure what arsenal do

Quick summary: ratboy is shite and odegard is a good player

Oedegaard is miles better than Bruno. For one, Oedegaard always makes the right pass at the right time. I’ve seen Bruno hold on to the ball far too many times and miss a key run by Rashford or Garnacho. Secondly, Oedegaard is a physical beast and has elite fitness. He presses with full intensity for a full 90 minutes, week-in, week-out. He plays every game and rarely gets injured. Third, he’s extremely technically gifted on the ball and has insane vision. Lastly, he’s not a whining baby and always gives his all.

I would call Ødegaard an 8/10 mix inside a 4-3.3 formation, basically operating on the right in a partnership with Saka and White. He can't be compared to the traditional 10'ns like Bergkamp or even De Bruyne with him in a 4-4-1-1 formation.

bring back TUSFC

Tell me what bruno fernandez actually delivers to any team in the world other than the long passes. Odegard is a workhorse he's a machine he presses for the whole 90min(with high intensity)and this season he gets the ball by getting back so deep , controls the game and he never cries wearing the captain badge. This doesn't even have to a comparison there's a massive deference between these 2.

Ødegaard is a demon off the ball, and a genius on it. His work rate gets overlooked sometimes because of what he does on the ball. His press rate is relentless, and he triggers it every time, and Kai and the rest follow. And he gets back to shape quicker than anyone else, to organize the group, when we lose the ball, and start the press again. Oh man, his press engine is absolutely insane. KDB does it, but in phases, but City are extremely organized group and their press is mostly initiated by Rodri. Bruno does half press, looks around at his teammates, sees that no one cares, throws his arm up, and starts moaning. That's entirely not Bruno's fault, but United's system and disorganized team are also to blame.

Let's be real here, Odegaard is levels above Bruno. He has always been. Not even a discussion. I watched this kid when siging for Madrid and thought his talent was massive, he got duked by the club and players because he was not spanish and went the hard way to prove himself by loans. He himself also said at the age of 17 that his reputation was nothing he cared about, because in his own words he said at real madrid "I'm not going to peak and be judge now, my goal is to be on top at age 25, then judge me".

You get an Ødegaard! You get an Ødegaard! Everyone leaves with their own, brand new Ødegaard!

Let's stop beating around the bush. One is indisciplined, the other is disciplined... I'm fed up of Bruno

If Bruno tries to work as much as odegaard ,he will suffocate and throw up on that pitch

The biggest difference imo is that Odegaard is visibly a good person and a good leader on the pitch.

Any player that doesn’t become a liability when things get tough is automatically better than Bruno. Literally the exact opposite of what you look for in any player, let alone your captain.

Mentioning bruno in the same sentence as Odegaard is incredible coming from someone who’s supposed to be a football fan

the build that de bruyne got as well the two other guy are like a stickmans next to him

Odegaard is brilliant player❤❤❤

And to make it clear his surname is not pronouced o de garrd, its odd e gaard pronounciation, He is a very good player and I am glad we have him.

Finally someone that sees what I see in odegard

I wrote trade Pogba for Ødegaard during OGS 1st Man United manager era (before Ødegaard was on Arsenal loan) Good times :P

The only reason why Ordeegard Captain is because he understands Arteta system more than any Arsenal player …

What he said was not wrong but oversimplified

as an Arsenal Fan, i do like Bruno very much! But you can not compare, never any Player. Its about the System and how put him in Position. Its about "what is your job on the Pitch, what can you do, and what can your teammates do?!"

Odegaard ❤ Genius at work

Confidence and environment,maybe ?

Odegaard is a better leader.

Bruno playing more vertical, Odegaard doesn't, that's a main difference.

Major difference is Odegaard presses high all the time boxing the opposition in, Bruno rather wait for an unforced error from the opposition to gain possession back.

Lool how can u talk about Bruno and ordegard in the same sentence 😅

I actually believe that Arsenal could not function in any way like they do without Odegaard - he is so vital to the team that if he got injured now I honestly believe we would be in serious serious trouble...

I don’t know why nobody ever references the fact Bruno can’t carry the ball. He can’t dribble in space or in tight spaces, he’s purely a passer and shooter of the ball, yes he’s quality, but he doesn’t have as much in his locker as Odegaard does. Bruno doesn’t get into the Arsenal team in the same position as Odegaard, but Odegaard gets into that United team ahead of Bruno

This is missing the point re Fernandes and Ødegaard. The key difference is when their respective teams don't have possession of the ball. Ødegaard has one of the strongest work ethics we've seen for a long time in this league. His team might be up 5-0 and it's the 85th minute, and Ødegaard won't be downing tools, but instead he's going through lead the press that will help his team regain the ball. That's the biggest difference between these two players: Work ethic. Another big difference would be ethics in general. When Arsenal isn't doing well or when an Arsenal player has made a mistake, Ødegaard won't drop his shoulders or gesticulate in anger or sulk. He's the first to provide positive encouragement to his teammates. He will put the burden on his shoulders and he will be the first to pull. Fernandes will sulk and point fingers and bitch and moan. These are why they're two different players. Arteta will not recruit a Fernandes.

Wait is this a for real comparison ?

I said many times to united fans the only reason ten haag is playing counter attacking football becoz his best players i.e bruno and rashford are best at it and are not made for possesion football

35m bargain of a lifetime

Bruno cant even lace Odegaards shoes…

Can you do more of these videos? Why Arsenal players are better than United players? Like why is Rice better than Casemiro Havertz better than Rashford Saliba better than Martinez Gabriel better than Maguire White better than Dalot Raya better than Onana Saka better than Garnacho Etc etc etc

Just on work rate and attitude alone, Ø is clear or Bruno.

One is younger and real leader. Other is not a leader plain and simple.

You mean archetype not prototype

I'm an Arsenal fan and I HATE United. I can't help but like Goldbridge. It's great to watch him have a Partridge meltdown but his insights are actually top notch. Tend to find myself agreeing with more than I do alot of Arsenal fans who think Ozil was the greatest player ever and were shouting Arteta out a few years ago.

Odegaard is phenomenal he is probably the best number 8 in world football at this moment maybe Bellingham is playing at his level. Kdb is still the best but injuries have knocked him back

Bruno is living off 18 months of fantastic football. He’s been second rate for the last 18 months

I loves these united fans finally giving credit to Arsenal

HAHAHA Bruno isn't in the same time zone in terms of commitment and drive

Support neither team but has to be ODEGAARD Bruno too busy moaning and lying on the floor, not a team player

Bruno and odegard are the same or odegard is clear

Gød.

Arsenal Fan here, Bruno could have done and would have done better with better players around him.

How dare you compare KDB to Fernandes……..like comparing a prime fillet steak to a McDonald’s burger!

Ødegaard is an alien. Bruno is human. And a weak one at that.

Do you think Mount can be United version of Odegaard?

The only thing bruno has over odegaard is his striking ability . I wish odegaard was 2 footed jesus.

That’s why we should sign Florian Wirtz🇩🇪.

Bruno's temperament spoils everything. Also the team he is captaining has several behind the scenes issues as well as poor form on the field. That coach does not help matters with his takes especially after a bad game. I believe Bruno is a good player probably they should have kept the arm band away from him. But i think im still biased towards Ordegaard if i am to choose between the 2.

The Irony is Pogba was the closest Odegaard for United especially higher up to the final 3rd

It is a long winded way of saying Odegaard is better.

KDB is better but Odegaard is a better dribbler and retains the ball better Bruno and KDB are a lot more similar than you'd think
