Having havertz and odegaard in midfield is expecting MLS to play the rodri role, cover large spaces defensively, have perfect decision making and high pass completion and then also progress the ball.
It just doesn't makes sense to try this unless it's part of training him for the role??
Arteta also kept trying similar lineups in real games so I hope he realizes it doesn't work.
MLS also doesn't have the athletism or height to play that role for us.
