Kai Havertz

Qwiss

Mirth Messi gets called the GOAT but his scoring record at the Euros is embarrassing.

Mirth

I don’t get the Havertz v Gyokeres comparisons - I think they’re both great options. I wouldn’t trust either for 50 games a season but they can dove tail each other. LW should be our main priority this summer.

Qwiss

Mirth if Kai can stay fit that's ideal but we can't just expect Gyokeres to play all the minutes for 2/3s of a season again. We need a 3rd option.

Coombs

Qwiss better if that third option can play on the wing, too.

Qwiss Mikel Merino

Qwiss

CPM before Xmas, before Gyok had that small injury Arteta barely used Merino to test him.

Sicario2

@JazzG every big game this guy misses big chances despite scoring. Always a caveat with this guy in big games. Not good enough

CPM

Strikers miss chances man, welcome to reality. Our whole team needs to get away from these stutter penalties, that’s the real issue.

Burnwinter

CPM Right, they all miss chances. Havertz is scoring but there will be a new definition of consistency for those looking to lay blame. If Havertz doesn't score that rough header then there's no chance for VAR to force a shootout, and no chance for Havertz to miss in it either.

Gurgen

I don’t know if he meant it but that was a sensational goal. He doesn’t get enough credit sometimes

MistaT

I thought he was pretty mediocre goal aside.

Was found wandering far too often outside of the channel in no mans land for a striker.

so basically Titi?

Cannon

He is a bit like Martinelli in the sense he is obviously talented and hardworking but something just does not seem right. I have high from him this season.

JazzG

Go to man in big games. Scored in big games in his time at Chelsea as well IIRC.

Dom

Should've made it 2-0 in the CL final though

JazzG

Dom True, bad touch took the chance away. His touch is usually very reliable, it is his finish which can let him down.

Qwiss

Dom I think that's overly harsh. He well outscored his xG in that match. Even the best miss chances.

However calling his goal in the Charity Shield a big game goal is also overly generous. Its the charity shield. Every league goal is more important.

samthegooner

JazzG his finishing is much better when he shoots at the left side of the frame as opposed to going across his body. Theres definitely something biomechanical that affects his shooting across his body IMO because he tends to drag a lot of his finishes aimed at the right side of the frame wide. But he finishes with power whenever he goes to the left.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

JazzG similarly poor touch in the League Cup final IIRC.

Claudius

Yup. Big game player. Really good movement for his goal. Was going towards the ball, saw Tzolis get to it, and then backpedaled to make space for the header. Hope he stays fit. Still my preferred striker amongst those reasonably available

TambourineMan

This guy, Saka and Ode staying fit this season will take us up a level vs last season.

And all 3 have capable backups so no reason to run them into the ground. All three should only be playing one game a week for the 1st half of the season unless absolutely necessary (i.e big league game and CL game in the same week). That aside they should be rotated frequently enough to (a) keep them fit and (b) have them at close to 100% for the run-in.

I don't wanna see Saka playing Plymouth at home in the Carabao or away Brugge in the CL.

Manage minutes, utilise the squad and we could have our best ever season under Arteta.
