lorddulaarsenal Love him. Fails to get credit because he makes things look simple.
Some truth in this. If a ball gets pinged up to someone like Jesus and he holds onto it with some immaculate control and does a clever turn to shake off a marker who is trying to take off his shirt, it looks a lot better than when a ball bounces off Havertz's groin while he holds off the centre back with a long gangly arm, but the end result isn't hugely different.
Now I don't think he's pulling up trees but a lot of the criticism directed his way is also opportunity cost-related in nature. I think based on his performances alone, he's been a pretty useful squad member so far this season. Not near our top performers, but also not someone I'd be eager to replace at this point either. He's a very distinctive option who is always fit and there's plenty of value in that. Just wish he'd believe in himself more and take more responsibility for making things happen
