Yes
Benzema had cr7 with him scoring all the time all that chelsea have is havertz and not shoting towards the goal
No player who has come to Chelsea in the last 4 years have improved or gone on to perform better in their career. Thiago Silva has but he is class anyway.
Give Ten Hag or Arteta Kai Havertz and he'll cook. Give Ten Hag or Arteta Mason mount and he'll cook. The problem with Chelsea are not the players it is Chelsea. Those players need top coaches to develop them and give them roles.
Yes..absolutely..but not just him. It starts with managers playing him as a central striker when he is not!!
How can u blame a man who is not a striker he only plays there when we have no striker.
Kai scores 7 a year
Yes
Graham should work with Kai as Den Hag did with Rashford
I mean we have Auba. He isn't in his prime and even Fofana is an option but playing Kai no matter what isn't really helping, and that's manager's choice.
Its just james and silva no kia tf
I think that is a huge problem and has been a problem for Chelsea long before potter got the job 🤣 I ain't even a Chelsea fan and I can see this the thing is it's harder to win matches without prolific forward players it's amazing really that all the players they have signed even under Abramovich they haven't had a prolific number nine type player striker really 🤣
Difficult for any striker to score when the managers' apparent strategy is possession for possession sake. Only passing the ball backwards and sideways won't get it done!
When playing for 'Ze Germans' Havertz is a consistent scoring danger.
No not at all …Kai is world class just not in form and not playing his position
benzema was on another planet even in his worst season
Havertz seemed to be weak/not fit against tottenham , he wasted two opportunities in second half . One was denied by the goalkeeper and the other by Christian Romero .
If only King Kai can play the role of Fabrigas, the the goals will flow for any striker together with kante at midfield
Maybe Chelsea are reverting to type! This is what they were, pre Abramovich era!
Kai Havertz could and probably will go to Bayern or Dortmund in the future, play the correct position at 10, get his 10-15 goals a year, and rack up a ton of assists and success and be beloved by his fans. Chelsea is playing him in the wrong position and the fans are so quick blame him for not scoring 40. He's a world-class player playing in the wrong position because he's able to. It would be the same as putting Michael Jordan at Center. He would be ok because he was an amazing athlete, but it's not the position he is going to dominate.
Great show lads as always 👌👌
The problem is potter
Its on Potter
Benzema is a 9, Havertz is not. Leverkusen used him behind the striker.
Chelsea’s lack of goal production is shocking considering their talent. Enzo, Felix, Sterling and Mudryk should be scoring 2+ goals per match. The squad is playing individually with no fluidity, cohesion, off ball movement, anticipation, etc. Reece James is Chelsea’s engine at OB and he’s not the same playing CB. Potter is clearly not maximizing the talent of his squad.
I actually think Kai is a really good player, he's just in a negative or difficult environment
Kai Havertz is not a lone striker.
He is a player who plays off another striker.
A CAM/2nd striker.
Instead of wasting your time watching fashion shows or comedy shows, you can invest that little time into digital currency market where every little of your time spent counts.
I'll take him at Arsenal
Chelsea have way too many wingers and no ST, like do they just buy players to buy them like its Pokeman cards?
Compare haverz With benzema stupid 😅😅😅😅😅
havertz is not a striker. all these ''pundits'' can't seem to realize this simple fact.
I don't think he suits the Premier League, something physically about him is lacking. He's a Bundesliga player that suits a wide forward role with other technical players around him. The current attacking squad doesn't suit Havertz. Sterling, Aubameyang, Mudryk, Pulisic lol these are pace and power type players that do not link up well with Havertz, even Ziyech is erratic & then there's still Lukaku to come back on loan who is another flat track bully type player with no technical ability. I think Kai Havertz would work better at Man City with the likes of Foden and Grealish but what do I know.
Kai Havertz is very young and his first touch and instincts inside the box are similar to a striker. He is definitely not a perfect number 9, but he can develop into one. Nice observation Gab!!
The whole Forward-Line is to blame, none of them can hit a barn door from 3 feet away and that is NOT Potters fault.
Also, Chelsea need to trim that Squad.
It is far too big.
That bigger Squad makes training a nightmare and cannot be done efficiently.
This Season is a Train Wreck, hopefully next Season Players will be gone, the Squad will be smaller and Chelsea can get back to winning ways, but forget this season, it is over.
No he's not a striker he's a CAM or an attacking player coming from the right they are forcing him to be something he's never been just not smart Auba should start
