Martin Odegaard faced criticism from Arsenal fans for a questionable decision during their FA Cup defeat against Manchester United. The Norwegian midfielder's 360-degree turn while dribbling the ball sparked debate about his decision-making and tactical awareness.
Martin Odegaard has been criticized by fans for a 'ridiculous' moment during Arsenal 's surprising FA Cup exit against Manchester United. The Norwegian successfully converted his penalty in the shootout, choosing to place it in the opposite corner. However, he was widely criticized for a different incident. At one point in the game, Odegaard received the ball deep in his own half and dribbled it into midfield while United were slightly stretched.
As he advanced down the left flank, he performed a 360-degree turn when no one was pressuring him, allowing United to regain their defensive position.One fan on X wrote: 'Why is Odegaard doing a 360 on the ball when we're counter-attacking? There's literally no one pressuring him and he's turning into Dani Ceballos.' Another fan fumed: 'Embarrassing. Rice makes the run to keep the attack going. Stifles our transition… the biggest problem our attack and creativity has.'Arsenal suffered consecutive home defeats in cup competitions despite dominating possession for large periods. They lacked a clinical edge, and Odegaard took responsibility for his missed penalty, describing it as 'not good enough'. “It’s hard to say at the moment exactly why, but I think it’s small details; the last pass, the finish, the decision-making,' he said in an interview. 'Again, I think we did more than enough to win this game – I don’t know if they had a better chance than the goal and we created enough to score. Me with the penalty as well, that should have been a goal. “It’s not good enough from me, I have to score that one. I think it was a crucial moment as well, so it was a tough one to take. That’s it.
