Arsenal Fans Angry That Players Won’t Pass To Martin Odegaard Vs Manchester City

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.

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.

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