naz Kai Havertz is already starting to feel like he could be a career defining signing for Arteta.
Rohit The occasion got to him today. He went for what he thought were the right players for the occasion, especially up front from an experience point of view. He got it wrong. In a derby when you are thin, rather go with Hale End boys. They know what this game means. It was a toss up between Havertz and Vieira otherwise. Nelson and ESR may not be upto much in training but it must be so demoralizing to be behind Martinelli, Trossard and Jesus on the wing.
Agree with this. Smith Rowe has excelled in this fixture, to now be given 5 minutes at the end because you're behind Vieira & the aforementioned Havertz must be incredibly galling. Both he and Nelson should have been on the pitch at least 15 minutes earlier as the game slipped from our control.
My uncle is absolutely raging tonight about our lack of quality at centre forward. Although, paradoxically, he does also like Eddie. Bottom line is, Jesus should have had us 2 up and we would have deserved that lead. We didn't get it and fell away second half.
