Arsenal fans are furious that they're players aren't passing to Martin Odegaard during their Premier League game against Manchester City.
The Gunners struggled early on at the Emirates as Man City started on the front foot. Raheem Sterling gave the visitors a 1-0 lead with just 80 seconds played, heading home above Arsenal's central defenders.
However as their side tried to get back into the game, Arsenal supporters grew frustrated that their team appeared to be ignoring Norwegian attacking midfielder Odegaard.
44: Ødegaard absolutely fuming at the lack of passes being made to him - and rightly so. #arsmci | 0-1 | #afc

Some of the decisions in the final third from Arsenal are atrocious.

Odegaard is wide open and they just don’t want to give him the ball. AGAIN
PASS THE BALL TO ODEGAARD

Players get into good positions and go for a hard option yet Odegaard is just there open.

As the 22-year-old has only joined the club on loan from Real Madrid in January, perhaps it's more a case of his teammates getting used to playing with him than a deliberate snub.
But Odegaard definitely wasn't as involved in the first 45 minutes as Arsenal fans would have liked.
He's always in some good positions yet we just pass the ball wide 🙄

I'm fuming. What is his issue with passing odegard the ball. He refuses to do it

Don’t hate me but I think Saka should’ve passed it to Odegaard on the inside rather than Tierney on the out.

bellerin really doesn’t like to pass the ball to Ødegaard

Does Hector hate Odegaard?

At least Arsenal did improve in the first half, although they trailed at the break 1-0 to Pep Guardiola's league leaders.
