Havertz is not as bad as some ESPNFC pundits are portraying him to be
This guys are discussing sh***t and if arsenal had dropped points uuuh
Gab hit the nail on the head. Many people, pundits included, simply look at the number of goals scored and nothing else. Are there better strikers out there? Probably. Do they bring all of the other things with them like winning aerial duels, pressing, setup plays, etc.? Arsenal are winning as a team. I know, that's a strange concept for some of these pundits but a team effort requires everyone to do their part. The players fit the structure that creates the team chemistry that is often more capable of winning than a group of talented stars bunched together. But in order to maintain that winning chemistry, you need players that can fill-in when injuries occur or when the schedule is excessive and rotation becomes important. You have to maintain the quality level of the team as a whole. That is what cost them points when, for example, Ødegaard was injured. Does Watkins fit the team or is it a case of people just saying it because he scores goals? Arsenal have already scored lots of goals again this season, as a team. 5 different goal scorers last night. Arteta has to be careful not to mess with the team chemistry too much.
Burley & his whole family r massive rangers fans, 115 charges mite takeaway what pep has achieved at city,
Craig;"Is that d fantastic machine that Frank uses"
😆👌🏼
I am half German so I have nothing against havertz but let’s be honest he is not enough for arsenal to win a title. And Gab can defend him as much as he like but in the end results speak for themselves which are that havertz and arsenal have fallen short multiple years in a row. The fact that they battered city won’t win them the league either if they draw with mid table teams.
How Harvetz turned a 2v2 into a 2v1 on that fourth goal shows why he is rated highly by Arteta. His work rate is also great.
This Kai havertz issue has exposed so many english pundits, not everyone should be talking about football
I believe Kai is not a bad player but it's normal every players can miss chances the same way Kai do
LAY OFF HAVERTZ FOR A BIT. OK he missed a chance he should have scored but also scored a very nice one and assisted for the opener. That said his general play was great, moving City players out the way to give his team mates more space with great intelligence.
Watkins – P24 G10
Havertz – P20 G8
Watkins was great last season but we acting like he's lighting the league on fire.
Is foden good enough? Last year you were claiming hes a ballondor contender
Gab makes this show MUCH BETTER' Not saying he show is bad. I love it, but adding Gab's footballing and normal IQ's really improves the analysis,
Havertz is not a 9. He’s a good 10 or a pivot forward. Just folds under pressure on his own up front
Arsenal should not dislike city coz arsenal is not on city level generally coz their trophy cabinet is empty… But they compare them with city so people think they are on same level
Kai is not a striker that should be cleared from the minds of people and that of Arteta
Pep never sacked coz media always loves him ..look how media treat other manager and then him , in this tuff season media blaming rodri injury rather den pep and pep signed striker nd defender but media don't utter word against pep same for arteta spending merchant but nobody asking about trophies
Arsenal dunking on espnfc head top
Arsenal is a looser club. Last time they won the league was 20 years ago. They lucky to get him…
Work rate always beats talent
The issue is not whether Arteta believes in Havertz but whether Havertz believes in Havertz. If he did, the ball would be in the back of the net a lot more.
We need a 20+ goal striker, Havertz miss too much easy chances, we need a striker, that get a half chance, and put it away.
Presspass 😄😄😄
Arsenal scored thier most EPL goals in season when harverz was upfront last season that is why few people understand the game tactics
this season: Haaland 25 ⚽ & Havertz 15 ⚽
Luka AD trade = Zlatan Eto "trade" . That is the only i can think that comes close to this .
A similar swap is Arthur-Pjanic
Since aguero can play striker by himself, I will never again underestimate any 2nd strikers to play CF 🥸
They can also play 2 upfront in some games not to be too predictable
Imagine Arsenal get Mbeumo to be the leading striker and leave out that Chelsea flop and reject, arsenal would still be in both Fa Cup and Carabao, but since Arteta is the boss, Arsenal can never win a trophy
Havertz isnt a stricker yet has to perform there?Partey isnt a right back yet has to perform there since he has defendsive qualities?Players play well oftenly according to the roles they are given
No way!!!! Ollie Watkins is the best English striker right now….Gab is drinking!!!!!
I'd be disappointed if I were Watkins to even be in the same sentenace as Havertz. That's a crazy take by Gab…
ashley cole, william gallas swap
£65m worth of belief.
If you don't understand it, it's because your footballing understanding doesn't compare to Arteta's.
Defo not a No 9 or a false nine that’s the issue. The money spent on him for this position has to raise questions along with Trossards fee!. Everyone makes mistakes but it shows bad judgement in my opinion.
6:30 do British people pronounce “clique” as “cleek”? Or is that just a Dan thing lol
