From The Athletic article -

Gyokeres is not a player who likes to drop back into midfield, his strength lies in quick runs behind, running between the fullback and centerback. This means Arsenal need to be more direct and vertical.

Is this team even capable of playing direct? Every attack that goes through Odegaard never makes it into the final third of the opp. team. Saka has to deal with two defenders marking him in every game and Martinelli recycles the ball three times out of five.
