"Very odd" - Mikel Arteta has baffled one pundit with decision he made in Arsenal 0-0 Everton
Briefly

"People are talking about taking off Rice and [Odegaard], Odegaard's the one, Cundy said on talkSPORT. I get Rice, Jorginho comes on, Jorginho's a different type of midfielder than Rice, I get that, he's a bit more creative than Rice. The Odegaard thing, the only thing I can think about with Odegaard is that he's come back from injury about the last month. He's played a lot of football, he's been brilliant for them, really, really good, but when you need a goal, you want your top dog."
"Cundy baffled by Mikel Arteta decision-making. Arteta chose to withdraw Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard in the 62nd minute, bringing on Jorginho and Ethan Nwaneri. Cundy is fine with the Rice change, but cannot fathom why Arteta would bring off Odegaard, with his replacement Nwaneri failing to register a shot or create a chance, while he also lost all six of his contested ground duels."
