Then again, counter attacks and running up and down the wing is typical English, no?
But yeah, we do have many players that dont really excell at anything, really, just mediocre all over the place.
I think we should begin to build our team around Ødegaard, as he is clearly the only talented midfielder we have in this country. I know he is still young, but there is no hope for the current group of players anyways, nothing to lose.
Not exactly. The emphasis on physicality and long balls and all the other shit is the reason for Norway's downfall. Something like Germany 2010 is what I'm envisioning. Still need technical players for that who are smart and know what to do instead of players who only know how to run fast.
Ødegaard need to be braver with the ball. He's struggling right now. He moved too early and to the wrong club. Should have gone to Ajax or even PSV. Should have followed Christian Eriksen.
You either move to a club like that or you stay until you get to a level where you're ready for bigger things like Forsberg.
He did neither.

How do you rate Sander Berge? Haven't seen him played yet but I've heard good things about him and Sevilla is apparently very interested. They already wanted to sign him last summer if Nzonzi would leave.
Brightest midfield talent IMO. Perhaps the best Norwegian talent right now. A very smart player who's physically dominant and got decent technical skills. I think Sevilla tried to sign him this past summer too, but Genk refused sell him.
I'm a bit wary of these players though as most seem to be a bust later on, but if I had to pick one player out of Ødegaard, Berge, Samuelsen, Zekhnini and every other young Norwegian talent right now, I would pick Sander Berge to become a decent player at the highest level.
That Sevilla move might be a year or two too early for him.
