"To say he doesn't fancy him, I think it's more a case the player doesn't quite know understand the structure in the same way that Odegaard does, Keown said. Odegaard knows exactly where to be when the opposition have the ball and then picking up those little spaces, little passes and building play. That's something Odegaard does well and Eze hasn't quite picked that up yet. It will come in time, I'm sure it"
"I believe he hadn't started in the last nine or something like that, so he got a start today and you think right go and impress Unfortunately he just felt off the boil, he couldn't get on the ball in the first half, Crouch said on punditry duty with TNT Sports, as quoted by the Daily Mirror. He was a bit of a passenger, if I'm being honest,"
Eberechi Eze arrived at Arsenal from Crystal Palace and has experienced a difficult start at the Emirates Stadium. He started the match against Brentford but was largely anonymous in the first half and was substituted at half-time in a game that finished 1-1. Peter Crouch described him as a passenger who could not get on the ball, suggesting a lack of rhythm and possibly limited favour from Mikel Arteta. Martin Keown acknowledged that Eze lacks some positional understanding and the specific qualities that Martin Odegaard currently provides, but Keown expects Eze to adapt to the role and improve over time.
