The 4-4-2 might be better than Ødegaard in midfield.

Описание: Since Havertz returned, something subtle has changed. Arsenal aren’t just playing better — we’re structurally more stable. And it’s because of the 4-4-2

Arsenal’s 4-4-2 might be more important than we think.

Since Kai Havertz returned to the team, Mikel Arteta has subtly shifted the structure — and the difference in stability, pressing shape, and midfield balance is clear. In this video, I break down how the 4-4-2 system with Havertz and Viktor Gyökeres changes Arsenal’s press, simplifies Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi’s roles, and potentially reshapes Martin Ødegaard’s place in the starting XI.

Is this tactical tweak the key to Arsenal’s title run-in?
Does Ødegaard and Zubimendi’s profile overlap too much?
And is this the formation that gives us the best rest defence heading into the final stretch of the season?

This isn’t about dropping big players — it’s about structure, balance, and winning the league.

Let me know what you think in the comments.
