“Arsenal Need A Striker”

Kai Havertz Is exactly what Arsenal Need and Arteta is showing us that perhaps we all just need to shut up and trust the process. Do Arsenal still need a 9? I don't think so.

In my head you said "and there we Havertz" at the end of the video, and that made it an inmediate 10/10.

“People are forgetting what the difference between an anomaly and a great striker is.” Bro. So fucking true.

[haRry]

As an arsenal fan, I cannot stand when someone says we should sign “a proper number 9”. There isn’t a striker itw who is realistically available that would perform better for us in our system than Havertz

Nice to see someone else noticed Kai that game vs Southampton he was unplayible at moments in that 2nd half

[ozonelayer]

Also, his stamina is vital to arsenal. He plays 90 mins every match and works harder than most on the pitch.

Kai Havertz video by football iconic? I will be there no matter what

Havertz timeline:

Arsenal's first game of the season, Havertz starts at striker then at the start of the Premier League Zinchenko's injured so Partey plays right back and Havertz drops back into midfield. Then Partey gets injured keeping him in midfield with Arteta not trusting Jorginho, over the next few months his performances slowly improved in that position, scoring his first open play goal vs Brentford in the 87th minute to win the game 1-0. 4 months later Jesus is injured and Nketiah after his stinker in the 2-1 loss to Fulham isn't given an opportunity vs Liverpool in the FA cup, instead Havertz starts up front, for the first time since the Community Shield. Despite not scoring or assisting most admitted he was Arsenal's most dangerous player in that defeat. Jesus returns and Havertz is placed back in midfield vs Havertz where he wasn't impressive, dropped vs Nottingham Forest away for Smith Rowe. After an impressive performance Jesus injured his knee for the 3rd time in the season days before they play Liverpool at the Emirates. Havertz because of Jesus's injury was given another chance up front with Eddie Nketiah clearly out of Arteta's plans. Havertz orchestrates a 3-1 humiliation of Liverpool where despite not scoring he got Konate sent off caused Saka's goal and was bullying the backline all game. Not quite convincing enough for Arteta to start him up top in the 6-0 win vs West Ham, the 5-0 win vs Burnley or the 1-0 loss to Porto where he instead went for Trossard. After the 1-0 loss to Porto Arteta reverted to Havertz up top to play Newcastle at home, scoring and assisting in a 4-1 win, he did the same in the 6-0 thrashing vs Sheffield United and subsequently started every game till the end of the season and only didn't play striker twice, vs Wolves and Villa, Villa being Arsenal's only loss post the winter break. Havertz scored 10 goals and 6 assists after January in 18 games, only 13 of his 17 starts were at striker.

"Kicker" is a legendary german bi-weekly football magazine and they have traditionally sponsored the "Torjägerkanone", which is the name of the Trophy which is literally a miniature old-timey canon.

Tuchel pretty much nailed what Havertz playstyle is and it's exactly why i love Kai. He reminds me a lot of 2 of my favourite players: Bergkamp, van Persie.

[bulelanikatikati]

Arteta has proved season on season that he has the cojones to pull the plug on any player to close the margins on City. Jesus & Zinny were level raisers in the 2022/2023 but then got Kai, Rice & Timber the following when he realized their limitations. Zinny has now been phased out, White might lose his spot to Timber & Ramsdale's story is well documented. I think with Jesus looking like he has lost a bit of phase, a striker in January will be revisited as Arsenal will challenge in England & looking to go a level up on that QF exit in the Champions League. Kai also can't be relied on to play 40 - 50 games straight without burning him out. Exciting times, I believe Arteta's love for Arsenal & trying to get them over the line will always override his loyalty to one player which is what a club like Arsenal looking to get back into the big time needs. Amazing video once again & hope you keep levelling up Tinashe 🙏🏾🙏🏾.

[kabeloshikwane]

Nail right on the head bro. And I was one of those Arsenal fans very upset that we got Kai. Now I love the guy

[souster]

Think it's worth mentioning that Havertz always had great movement, even in his first few months at Arsenal you could see him getting into good attacking positions but not being found as he hadn't gelled with the team yet. Now he's playing with confidence in that 9 position he still has that, combined with his other strengths being played to

[Mrnobody-qm]

Men i love kai but as a chelsea fan, it gives me nightmare to see him in a arsenal jersey 😢

[louis]

As a german football who doesn't care much about Chelsea or Arsenal I always felt bad for Havertz. Glad to see him get his confidence back. He's been so good and important for our National Team as well.

[bryanbrown]

I think Havertz has fit into the role effectively

[isaac]

the season barely started, what truly will show if he has it or not, or any player for that matter is the second stretch of the season, where games start to truly matter, where every point start to feel like a trophy win, where champions league play offs come around and your legs start to give out, and all you have going is how brilliant of a footballer you is

[S.H.E.A]

Kai Havertz has been absolutely incredible for us! Off the ball machine, and has definitely worked on his ball striking after training… a confident Havertz is genuinely a top 3 striker in the league

[Hotel-]

my old man says this reminds him of how Wenger converted RvP into an out an out striker.
not that i am saying Havertz will definitely that good but at the rate he is improving, a 25+ goal season is looking much much easier for him by the week.

[stefansturmer]

2:40 "Kicker" is a magazine, so its the magazines Trophy for the "Bundesliga Top Torjäger"

[SaucyboyShaun]

Kai has been a revelation for the team I can’t lie fits after a system so well as a false 9
