Yes, Arsenal still scored 91 goals in the league last year, probably the most in, I don’t know how long, second in the league, but if there was someone up top who could finish a lot better, you would have reached 100+ goals, and would’ve gotten enough in certain games to win the league

Arsenal fans get upset when people say they need a striker, but when they lost the league alot of them said " and we didn't even have a proper striker", which is bs because either you don't need a proper striker or not having one is a significant hurdle
Arteta has proved season on season that he has the cojones to pull the plug on any player to close the margins on City.

Kai also can't be relied on to play 40 - 50 games straight without burning him out.

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.
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.
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
Havertz is the perfect example for the eye test not being everything in a player. He's probably one of the best players off the ball with a world class game observation and great speed to make really annoying runs into the box to pull out the CBs and almost every modern possession coach loves a player like that on their lineup. His finishing is legitimately the only thing that he's not stellar at and he still puts in numbers equal to a Palmer (who yes is better at it since he playes in a worse team) from normal play. His abillity to make other's shine in the box is the perfect fit for a system that has someone like a Saka/Vini/Mbappe type of wing reliant offense, where the middle man is more part of build up as a false 9. Arteta has shown that all the guy needed was a system that would actually utilize his strengths and not solely rely on him to do everything like at Chelsea.
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.
@@granitxhaka7261He was also involved in almost all the good attacking plays. He wasn't good at finishing, that is true, but he was still very useful and important in the attack. So as a German fan, I totally wanted him to play everytime
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.
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
No just no, better than isak haaland, or when Toney was still here,not João Pedro or welbeck Even Nico Jackson is better Hey he helps your system kudos
@@timmyjoshua276 havertz has more g/a than all of them in 2024 except haaland, take away haalands pens and even his g/a is so close to havertz this year lol
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
@@edgarmanuelzetinaaguilar6972 we are really new about football are we ? how many times have 1 season wonders happened for you to think havertz is any different, i will hold my guns, i trust my eyes and havertz football does not show any class, just a very good player. im glad to be wrong, but i will not glaze players who are not worth it, he is no vini junior, no mbappe, he is no lewandoski, he is NOT world class, and we need that for a tittle as big as CL and PL
@@isaac15752 In wich world Havertz is a one season wonder, if his last season wasnt optimal for him? He had to arive and had to fit in to a completely new system aswell as positions. Havertz might be world class, but highlights wont show you that, since is a verry special type of a player.
@@isaac15752 brother, I don't think you understand how football works if you don't think havertz is world class in his role. There is a big difference between aesthetically pleasing and overall effeciency. For example, dembele might do something fancy and get you a goal out of nowhere, but for that one goal he will kill of 10 other chances by being stupid and making bad decisions. I would take havertz over someone like that all day.
@@isaac15752well your eyes lie to you if you can't see havertz impact on this team.... he's literally one of our best players at the moment and has been for a while
i think arsenal really need a backup winger. preferably someone who can play both LW and RW, so they can come in as a saka backup but also compete for that starting spot on the LW w martinelli. pedro neto would’ve been perfect but chelsea snatched him up along w sancho and felix who both could’ve worked at arsenal imo
We overrate medicore players and will never learn even after inevitably losing Saliba these fans will still praise the bare minimum done by the club lol
Man was a rare wonderkid at Leverkusen. Had millions watching him ball. He has so many layers and its just the start. Better than any striker you can sign. Including Sesko or Gyokeres. I always say he'll win a ballondor. Others are hyped by media, with him its only when he wins a ucl or something. Which he has while carrying the team, not kante or jorgi, but kai.
As an Arsenal fan, I didn’t understand the signing and thought he looked quite bad at first. I can now confidently say that I was wrong and that I wouldn’t trade the man for anyone. He fits our system perfectly and is one of our best players
Love your videos, from the excellent production to your captivating personality and great presentation. As for Kai, I'm a Gooner and I love him. He's probably been our most consistent player so far this season. He was okay in midfield but his current role is perfect for him. So glad he's settled in, he seems like a lovely lad.
Still need a competition at the front. Nothing guarantee him gonna be fit for the whole season. I find Saka and Havertz need a competition for their position.
At this rate we'll need someone to replace Jesus. He was absolutely electric the first few months after he arrived and after getting injured with Brazil, he hasn't been the same ever since. It's been almost 2 years since that injury and he's not showing any signs of improving.
He's simply terrible atm. Arteta is too stubborn, he should've gotten rid of him over the summer. Arsenal need a proper 9, that's a hill I'm willing to die on and will be happy to be called out if they actually win something this season😢
Havertz his like a younger Müller: kinda clumsy player, doesn't look your typical athlete but is strenght its his Intelligence, the way he reads the game and the movement
Thanks for the video - How many times has Havertz been everywhere? I joked saying future Bergkamp but honestly.... numbers included, he is getting there
As an Arsenal fan ive been singing king Kais praises for over a year, and thouht he was a good signing from the getgo hes not an insane goalgetter but hes someone with an IMMENSE work rate, great mentality and he does score goals, often in important moments as well
Calling the "Torjägerkanone" "Kicker-Torjägerkanone" is like calling the ballon d'or "france fottball-ballon d'or". No one mentions the magazine which is awarding the trophy.
As an Arsenal fan, I really wanted a striker this summer I thought that would get us over the line But realistically theres no good options on the market Mbappe went to Madrid years ago realistically, Oshimen went to Turkiye etc. But after realising that we have prime King Kai all is well now I believed he would have a slow start but I knew he was quality, proved me wrong on the slow start and I'm glad
I think we often like to think that Arteta saw an 8 in him at the start or maybe a 9 after all or whatever, but I think Arsenal just saw a high quality player available on the market that gave the squad something that they didnt have yet, and would just find out how to make them most of them along the way. And thats what they did. Now in this system, he is a 9 after all.
I remember saying that if Arteta somehow gets Havertz to start performing, I will never doubt Arteta again. Especially when Havertz was playing in midfield and just looked shocking to watch. But now, he feels almost irreplaceable
People always forget tht Arteta played Kai as 9 for his very first competitive arsenal debut with Jesus on the bench (2023 community shield against city)
Havertz has always been a number 9. His build reflects this. Arteta most certianly brought him in to play St and that is his real position. He is now flourishing
I think everyone attacking those calling for a striker is missing the point. No one calling for a world class striker is saying Havertz is bad. The reason we want Leao or someone better is because that is the difference between finishing second or first. Get it? It's about winning the Champions League and the PL title. If you're happy with the seminfinals or top 4 then Havertz is all we need.
Leao isn’t better than Havertz and I would say Havertz is a top 5 arsenal player he’s brilliant leao also isn’t a striker and he is also the opposite of clinical
King Kai still keeps getting hate because of his Chelsea performance... but it's crazy how Chelsea fans are giving him the stick despite winning a champions league for them...glad he left that shite club.
I really liked him at Chelsea despite him being criticised but now him firing shots at Chelsea does piss me off NGL , but still hard to hate on him coz I support Germany in NT's !! So it's a proper complex Love-Hate Relationship for me with him !!
As a Chelsea fan that watched him play every single game for 3 years, this guy was atrocious approximately 80% of the time. He would have 1 good game for every 4-5 bad games and I was more than happy to see him leave. Kudos to him for doing well, I still wouldn't have him back tho.
@xfanatick7972 our team was decent in the first 2 years(the year we won the CL and the year after). Especially whilst Tuchel was there, the team generally played well. Havertz was still inconsistent. One good game for every 4-5 bad games. Also how can you say our team was shite considering we won the champions league? That statement in itself is contradictory. The team was more or less the same the season we won the champions league and the season after. Your comment only applies to the last season when Graham Potter took over.
@@56postoffice no I did not... don't get me wrong he is good but not as good as arsenal fans think. he can't be your main man if you want to win big..he can be a good sidekick to actual super star; we need that salah, Suarez hazard or augrero type player in the forward line even Sanchez would kill it in this team
From the beginning, I said we paid too much for him. Now that he's here, why isn't he up top. Arsenal needs a good deeper bench with some tall slick figures up top.
He needs to become more ruthless in front of goal he wastes a lot of chances but has done well this season hopefully he will get better as its still a relatively new position for him hes deffo got potential to become a poacher should aim for at least 25 -30 goals if he wants to put the controversy to rest for good its achievable with the amount of chances we create

Thanks for the video - How many times has Havertz been everywhere? I joked saying future Bergkamp but honestly.... numbers included, he is getting there
As an Arsenal fan ive been singing king Kais praises for over a year, and thouht he was a good signing from the getgo
hes not an insane goalgetter but hes someone with an IMMENSE work rate, great mentality and he does score goals, often in important moments as well
There's a saying "Do not fix what is not broken". Havertz performed well for us last season, and I knew he would again this season.
Gyökeres... 100M and there's your perfect man
This aged well.
Calling the "Torjägerkanone" "Kicker-Torjägerkanone" is like calling the ballon d'or "france fottball-ballon d'or". No one mentions the magazine which is awarding the trophy.
People forget he slayed Man City in a UCL final. Winning goal for Chelsea.
I love havertz but I would also love if we bought sesko as rotation or smth
This year I’ve learned to just enjoy the football. (I have no other choice as a United fan)
Havertz is the dirtiest player in the prem. He fits Dark Artsenal perfectly.
Excellent video well done 👍🏻
"... Jesus to left nursing bed."; nah I had to pause and just acknowledge that one real quick. That was a straight knockout.
Really nice video 😂😂. You've gotten a fan!
Man, this channel just gets better and better. 👊🏾
I don't wanna jinx anything. But let's just say what if Havertz gets injured ? Then what?
“This Man is Dangerous” 😂. This rather long purple patch might be over soon (my Chelsea bias speaking)
I thought you were going to say "And there you Havertz ladies and gentlemen". Missed chance
I love it "The K9" , his got that dawg in him😂😂😂😂
Just FYI from a German: kicker is a sports magazine in Germany and is just giving out the "Torjägerkanone". It's somewhat of a sponsor of the trophy.
Chelsea paid 83 million pounds for Kai Havertz.
The concluding part sums it all😂!
I loved this video. proper breakdown.
5:41 I don’t know how well he’s surviving at this point 💀
As an Arsenal fan, I really wanted a striker this summer
I thought that would get us over the line
But realistically theres no good options on the market
Mbappe went to Madrid years ago realistically, Oshimen went to Turkiye etc.
But after realising that we have prime King Kai all is well now
I believed he would have a slow start but I knew he was quality, proved me wrong on the slow start and I'm glad
I think we often like to think that Arteta saw an 8 in him at the start or maybe a 9 after all or whatever, but I think Arsenal just saw a high quality player available on the market that gave the squad something that they didnt have yet, and would just find out how to make them most of them along the way. And thats what they did. Now in this system, he is a 9 after all.
I remember saying that if Arteta somehow gets Havertz to start performing, I will never doubt Arteta again. Especially when Havertz was playing in midfield and just looked shocking to watch. But now, he feels almost irreplaceable
People always forget tht Arteta played Kai as 9 for his very first competitive arsenal debut with Jesus on the bench (2023 community shield against city)
FYI, kicker is a known football magazine/newspaper in Germany that sponsors the Goalscorer Cannon 😉
I am happy he is doing well and it will finally translate to his NT perfomances
Havertz has always been a number 9. His build reflects this. Arteta most certianly brought him in to play St and that is his real position. He is now flourishing
Havertz sucks as a striker tbh, all he's done is miss shots even when standing right in front of Goal, when playing for Germany.
The great Man City advantage in defending titles is not their strikers, but their lawyers.
9:39 man roasted Cucurella 😩🤣🤣.......
I see what you were referencing in the 8th minutes...😂🤣 ... Not bad sir...Not bad...!!!
I think everyone attacking those calling for a striker is missing the point. No one calling for a world class striker is saying Havertz is bad. The reason we want Leao or someone better is because that is the difference between finishing second or first. Get it? It's about winning the Champions League and the PL title. If you're happy with the seminfinals or top 4 then Havertz is all we need.
Leao aint better than havertz though
Leao isn’t better than Havertz and I would say Havertz is a top 5 arsenal player he’s brilliant leao also isn’t a striker and he is also the opposite of clinical
Kai Havertz is what i thought Mason Mount would be for us, but there are other factors that are in play against Mount
5:42 did Reece dirty there blud
King Kai still keeps getting hate because of his Chelsea performance... but it's crazy how Chelsea fans are giving him the stick despite winning a champions league for them...glad he left that shite club.
Thank you finally some appreciation for King Kai
I really liked him at Chelsea despite him being criticised but now him firing shots at Chelsea does piss me off NGL , but still hard to hate on him coz I support Germany in NT's !! So it's a proper complex Love-Hate Relationship for me with him !!
Great analysis bro
Havertz is a teamplaying one man team.
He does everything on the pitch throughout the entire game.
Did cucurella dirty with the Estrella 😂
My take is: 'Play him as striker, when the opposition tries to play their own game. And play him deeper, if they park the bus.'
As a Chelsea fan that watched him play every single game for 3 years, this guy was atrocious approximately 80% of the time. He would have 1 good game for every 4-5 bad games and I was more than happy to see him leave. Kudos to him for doing well, I still wouldn't have him back tho.
Mate, your entire team was shite most of the time except for the cl year
@xfanatick7972 our team was decent in the first 2 years(the year we won the CL and the year after). Especially whilst Tuchel was there, the team generally played well. Havertz was still inconsistent. One good game for every 4-5 bad games. Also how can you say our team was shite considering we won the champions league? That statement in itself is contradictory. The team was more or less the same the season we won the champions league and the season after. Your comment only applies to the last season when Graham Potter took over.
I like the mustache bro!!! It came in real nicee. Any tips???
Suggestion : can you make a video on chelsea?
Tuchel comparing kai to van persie and now he's about to break his record. CRAZY😮
not a striker per se but need better forwards at the moment trosaard and havertz are our best attackers.
Not forgetting Saka.
@@56postoffice no I did not... don't get me wrong he is good but not as good as arsenal fans think. he can't be your main man if you want to win big..he can be a good sidekick to actual super star; we need that salah, Suarez hazard or augrero type player in the forward line even Sanchez would kill it in this team
The power of friendship and the dark art
From the beginning, I said we paid too much for him. Now that he's here, why isn't he up top. Arsenal needs a good deeper bench with some tall slick figures up top.
I’ve trusted Havertz since they signed him, Arteta knows what he’s doing
He needs to become more ruthless in front of goal he wastes a lot of chances but has done well this season hopefully he will get better as its still a relatively new position for him hes deffo got potential to become a poacher should aim for at least 25 -30 goals if he wants to put the controversy to rest for good its achievable with the amount of chances we create
He’s not a poacher at all and 25-30 in this arsenal team is very very ambitious 20 is a good season
@@daquaviousbingleton9763 if you want to be classed as a good striker 25 goals minimum ive had ian wright henry rvp at the club he needs to be aiming for them levels
@@mannyafcarsensl-rc6vv van persie played 10 seasons for us and only did that in his final two Ian Wright never scored 25 or over so are you just waffling or what around 20 is good enough name 3 striker in the prem who do that consistently
