If Harvertz was an African player, he'll probably be playing in the second division.
Chelsea signing Osimhen or Guirassy, Arsenal signing Toney. Chelsea unloading Gallagher to Tottenham.
Arteta finally surrendered to this malicious media that never accepted the phenomenon of the Arsenal uprising that began last season and was about to reach its goal this season! He ruined the team by adopting stupid new attacking strategies, as well as putting a lot of pressure on all the players to score! Each one is desperately trying to prove that he’s enough to do the job!
Whatever the question is the answer is not Havertz. Arsenal should get a propper striker like Osimhen and they are ready for anything.
What ? You don’t have an issue with Havertz as your center forward than clearly you’re not an Arsenal fan
That is a reason why Jesus, Havertz, Zinchenko were sold to Arsenal.
Nor do us rival fans either, keep playing him at CF for as long as you like 👍🏼
still wont win lol
Kai Havertz didn’t look bad as a CF yesterday but he lacked the ruthlessness in front of goal and Gabriel Jesus was out of the squad and your only other recognized striker on the bench was Eddie Nketiah and that tells you what Mikel Arteta sees in him. On a club of Arsenal’s caliber it’s just not good enough in a game of that magnitude against Liverpool to have Havertz as your striker and the only other option off the bench is Eddie Nketiah and this is enough proof that before the transfer window closes they have to sign a number 9 everyone has been saying that for months. For weeks I’ve said that I’m not convinced that they have enough firepower on offense to win the title and we knew this about Arsenal before their slump and in the Liverpool game yesterday they could’ve been on the pitch for 24 hours and still wouldn’t score. He needs to get his guys scoring, because there are games where not having that finisher the key ingredient in the team has costed them points and every top team right now is desperate for a striker because your number 9 isn’t a goalscorer and you don’t have enough goals from your wingers or midfielders, I don’t see how your team can win the big trophies in a season. It’s unlikely that they’ll sign Ivan Toney this January for over 100 million, watch them try to get him if not who should they sign because if they fail to sign a striker and the attackers don’t start scoring, then they won’t win the league with this attack.
Arteta only have himself to blame.. for being stubborn and keeping kai Havart on the pitch for so long to keep on missing chances..
Arteta took waaaay to long to try Havertz at CF. Now that we are under pressure to get a result he finally does it against Liverpool even he had ample amount of opportunities to try it before. Kai was already under pressure as he has not performed well in the no. 8 role and now he has to perform well to save Teta from embarrassment. Honestly I have to put all blame on Teta.
Arsenal to sign Albert Steptoe, you heard it here first, Arsenal have the stables , they just need more old Nags up front, Havertz, is without doubt the worst forward in Premier league history
Gab loves Havertz for some strange reason. If you are having troubles scoring goals the last person you put up top is Kai.
Havertz is living off of a couple of important goals two years ago. He's never been dependable as a striker. He's not physical, he doesn't react quickly, and in the box he's passive.
These two backing Kai Havertz really makes me question their biases and their competence to evaluate football talent
Gab that is the mediocrity affecting Arsenal , thinking Khai is good enough because he is "Okay" … Okay wins nothing , the work of a number 9 is to score , a number 9 who is not inside or around the box during build up affects the team
Bro havertz is not good
Form will not make Havertz strike the ball with conviction. Stop thinking that will. He will never change
They done alright last season with the same front set up..?..
somebody please teach Gab how to talk in a mic
Havertz is horrendous. He must have the world's greatest agent. We have 4 years of data showing Havertz spurs chances for fun.
Gab with another bad take? What a surprise. Havertz is not a serious footballer. Anyone who rates him is part of a strange Havertz admiring cult.
Media clearly wants to keep us at mediocre levels, saying this clown should play #9 😂 tell me me you don't know ball without telling me.
Havertz is a 10.
Play him behind the striker like Ozil
Gabriel Jesus is GARBAGE! My God when are people gonna wake up and realize he SUCKS, just like Havertz and Martinelli?!
