Kai Havertz

Mirth

Gunner89 Number 8 here unless you are expecting zubi to be the only mid defending requires a lot of defensive work

It’s still going to be Rice and Zubimendi at the base of the midfield. The question is who plays with those two.

It has to be Havertz behind Gyokeres. He offers the most creative and goal threat.

Segway

Considering Kai basically hasn't played for a year, he's been excellent since his return. Brilliant work by him and also Arteta with how he has reintegrated him as a shadow striker.

Qwiss

His impact is huge and I'd say he's actually looking quite rusty in his general play still. Once he hits full match sharpness he could be even better.

I do think again we are better with a really attacking 10, like when Eze was playing. Ode is brilliant and he carried out midfield for years but with Rice and Zubi they don't need to be carried. He needs to go back to 22/23 Ode.

lorddulaarsenal

daredevil those two with Martinelli on the right is a good combo - pace and power

JazzG

We play so much better with him in the team.

Qwiss

JazzG its a pretty nothing cameo, he was ok as Brighton pushed on more but he still looks off 100% to me. It'll be interesting to see how much and where he plays against Mansfield. We definitely need him fit and firing for the run in.

Gunner89

He's definitely not bad but not good enough either to be elite

His question marks on fitness and wages means he could be a sale in the summer

JazzG

Gunner89 I think he has shown he can be elite but obviously needs to do that over a longer period for us. Also needs to start putting his foot through the ball, that is one thing I like about Gyokeres is he hits the ball like it owes him money.

Qwiss

The stats show what I thought, when he came on it massively released the pressure and we were able to keep the ball higher up the pitch.

RocktheCasbah

He definitely made a difference from where I was watching. If we can keep him fit, we're all going to be very happy in May.

Don Pacifico

Fantastic touch and finish.

Hoping he starts to deliver the consistency he showed before he got injured.

Sicario2

Don Pacifico decent back up striker option but he will never bench VG for serious games. Also never play this guy as a number 10. How many tournaments/leagues have we lost because of this?

JazzG

Sicario2 decent back up striker option but he will never bench VG for serious games.

Big if but IF he could ever recover to full fitness he would definitely be Arteta's 9 in the big games over Gyokeres.

He is also fine as the 10 ie the right 8 and in the 2 when pressing and works well with Gyokeres upfront.

He shouldn't be played as the left 8 and in the 4 when getting back into shape as he isn't making it back in time from all his space finding missions.

Sicario2

JazzG he was horseshit in carabo cup final and been below par in most games. Nice goal yesterday but no way he starts ahead of VG

Rohit

Made the vertical run in behind for the goal against Southampton and made the vertical run in behind last night. He is the kind of player that can benefit from the space Gyokores creates by being a nuisance. I would love to see both given a go together again with Kai closer to Gyokeres. Basically closer to a 4-4-2 then anything else. We need players that make vertical runs again and again.

JazzG

How was Gyokeres in that cup final?

Sicario2

JazzG he’s our top goalscorer and single handily took Sweden to their first WC in a decade. Behave

JazzG

Sicario2 Ok but how was he in the cup final?

QuincyAbeyie

The goalposts are moving so fast I can't even see them

Sicario2

JazzG how was Thierry Henry in any cup final he played for us?
