Kai Havertz was a versatile, if not prolific, attacker for Chelsea. At Arsenal, he could be the alternative elite creative force that they need. Sometimes he’s a nine, sometimes he’s a ten, but under Mikel Arteta could he be an eight?

    Surprisingly in defensive phases he drops to a double pivot alongside declan rice I thought odergaard would and that’s why we would miss xhaka’s presence but havertz defends better than xhaka shockingly now the only thing left for havertz is build confidence and aggression on the ball in which I see slowly coming into his play £65m for havertz might actually become a steal. I’m slowly starting to see arteta’s vision for him like I said surprisingly 😂😂 a month ago I thought what the hell did we sign

    He’s not an extremely talented player at all. Ridiculous, yes goal output and assists isn’t always the driving factor as to why one is a good player, but when you cost £73 mil, state in many interviews that you can play anywhere in the forward line and still not create any big chances and look like a ghost on the pitch the vast majority of the time, bar that “champions league goal” and other decent performances, he’s been a let down completely, people like the idea of him being a good player cos they try create reasons as to why they think he’s good.

    If he's playing in that role I could really see him succeeding at Arsenal, the way Arteta uses Xhaka is evident of that. People that don't really see him being a success there are people that were not paying attention to Xhakas off ball and on ball movements last season. There's a big reason why Xhaka went from 3 goals and 2 assists to 9 goals and 6 assists while most times not even going for shots

    Havertz needs to be played as a striker. The type of player he is, his technical ability, physical presence and height suggests that he is better suited in that position. I don’t know why Arteta is playing him in midfield. He isn’t a playmaker neither is he a defensive midfielder. He looks lost as he just isn’t suited to the position he is being played in. He is tall, fast, strong intelligent and has a naughty left foot on a good day. He is also very experienced for his age. Havertz could prove be a dangerous threat upfront for us given the opportunity.

    My understanding is that it takes all of the shots taken, works out how likely the average player is to score from that position. So a shot from the six yard line might be worth 0.8 xG and a shot from way outside the box might be worth 0.1. So if your goals are lower than your expected goals, it means you're missing chances you should score.
