Kai Havertz is MISUNDERSTOOD 👀

[@DiffKnock]

Sorry for the pause... been away a while on a family holiday - now back, refreshed and ready to tackle 23/24 🤝 Thanks for watching!

[@Lagrange90]

I enjoy your videos. Funny coincidence: years ago my father explained me the short amount of time you have on the ball in a similar way and the pictures where Havertz could have received the ball where great. Nevertheless: he was bought for his goal contributions in the first place(from Leverkusen). So he can be productive and I think it would be fair to expect more than he did at Chelsea. Something in the area of 15 GA or more.🤷‍♂ I am open to see where this could go but even of the ball movement should be measurable. Toni Kroos at Real had a statistic how much less goals Real were scoring when he didn`t play (not through is GA ) etc, so for Havertz it could be the amount of progressive passes in a game, shots from other players ( because of space) ...something tangible

[@mjordan1117]

Lol he’s ass. Watched him couple of times at Chelsea and was ass. Can’t pass. Poor finisher, poor dribbler, inconsistent ball control, makes unnecessary fouls which reliefs teams when Arsenal presses. This was when he was playing as a striker at Chelsea. Even against Arsenal when he was at Chelsea, we saw how average he was and missed 2 big chances any competent striker would score. All these “analytic” videos on KZbin are mostly bs because they over analyse players and make things that are surface level skill seem like it’s a world class trait. You can do this for every shit player you know.

Thought-provoking and eye-opening! I have always thought Havertz will take time to adapt, as any player. He’s got skills, a unique set. In the Palace game would could clearly see the spaces he was opening up for team actions. Keep your eye on him during the games. He’s like an invisible influencer.

[@astryl100]

When we first loaned Odegaard for 6 months he was quite bad too. And I didn't want to sign him. But if Arteta improves Havertz half as much as he improved Odegaard we will have another baller in the midfield.

Mate you nailed many things in this video. The limited and biased perception of rivals and self-loathers refuse to recognise many of Kai's considerable qualities. He bodied many of the so-called Man U hardmen and his quick and early link play was sublime. This kid is special and unique which many to realise in good time. In the meantime I will enjoy his development arc in this team and fight his corner as all our players need our support to thrive.

[@pali-yoda7375]

Havertz demeanor reminds me a lot of ozil so it's easy to misunderstand him and think he isn't putting effort in. Definitely want to see games run through him a bit more as it's always through odegaard and we can be a bit predictable.

[@danielparish5378]

Very true and he also needs his teammates to trust him more. See how many times he is open.

[@Africafactsguy]

Yeah, I have compared him to Ozil in my mind too. He has vision and he is good with the ball and he also looks nonchalant. Even the lack of physical strength. All these things reminds me of Ozil. I hope he has an impact close to the one Ozil had his first few seasons.

[@yusufali2402]

[@princewajiru623]

Very true. He finds those pockets of spaces well. I think as the season goes on he’ll get more trust from his teammates.

[@olsenfernandes3634]

He is compared to and is very much like Muller and just like Muller people don't understand his value unless his getting the goals and assists.

[@loveadeola]

Havertz is like Gilberto Silva. His presence and function on the pitch is not noticed until he's absent. These types of players create chaos by making runs and entering spaces off the ball that makes life difficult for the opposition, but much easier for teammates. This can be hard to notice for people that don't know how to watch football and only watch the ball being kicked around. Once you start to watch the off the ball movements of individuals and the team as a whole, you'll see what football really is.

[@c0mbat15]

I'm sorry, but Gilberto was a DM and they are meant to disappear somewhat. As a number 8 you need to be noticed. A lot! Im not having a go at Havertz and am willing to give him time. But by game number 10 I expect to see his true worth.

[@David-SA62]

@@c0mbat15I’ll have a go for you, Kai is exactly what he is. He’s not that guy that we needed he is like a fish out of water.

[@davek6415]

I think a better analogy would be Arteta in his prime (i.e. at Everton). Quietly making a significant contribution, and you only noticed how much he contributed when he didn't play. That may be why Arteta was so keen to bring him in. But personally, I am still on the fence. I do hope he lives up to expectations, because bringing him in almost certainly ended any slim chance we had of keeping Balogun happy, and he (Balogun) could well have been our next 20-30 goal scorer.

[@loveadeola]

@@davek6415 Arterta is also a very good example of a silent but powerful force on the field.

[@c0mbat15]

@@davek6415 Yeah, possibly. But Arteta only cost £10m so wasn't our second most expensive signing ever. Either way, I'm hopeful that Havertz will be as important to us as Odegaard is.

[@thegameinpod6301]

Fantastic watch once again! Agree with wanting him to take more responsibility and have games run through him a little more (like a Odegaard), however, I fear this may not be the case because he has a very languid, nonchalant way of playing. Time will tell. Very much on the fence on Havertz still but signs are there and I believe Arteta and the coaching team can maximise that potential he once showed in Germany. Keep the vids coming, my bro!!

[@Loksta112]

I think this view of him being in your words "nonchalant " is mistaken. Look at videos breaking him down, he runs a lot and his kms a game are always high , he also defends from the front very very well and his numbers also prove that. Under Arteta he can become better

[@UBZUKki]

Great breakdown of the role Havertz is playing at Arsenal. The role is very specific from what I've seen so far. Stay between lines of midfield and attack not really straying too far from that position, but always available to receive the ball to link play, push forward and be in the right place for at least a shot on goal or a tap in. But i too would like to see more controlled aggression and hunger from him which i really believe will benefit his overall game. No doubt Arteta sees a quality in the guy hence the 65 mill outlay, but once he truly makes this position his own, adds the aggression PACE and hunger to his skillset i think he will be such a problem to any opposition team as well as giving Arsenal that little something different but effective to keep opponents off balance.... I've got my fingers crossed Havertz wholeheartedly buys into whats required...

[@existentialangst285]

Havertz was brilliant at Bayer Leverkusen, really showed why he became so hyped (at least in Germany, and enough to attract Chelsea). He's not a plug and play type of player as you said, but he'll adapt and grow into his role in the team, and I think it's just a matter of time and game-time before he really starts influencing games more than we expect. He's exactly the type of player that seems perfect for Arteta to coach

[@akhigbeosiluamhe4818]

I totally agree with this analysis. I never complained about him against city and forest because I see all of these too. He does the simple things very effectively. Including blocking passing lanes. I appreciate this because it's what I'm also very good at. Appreciating space. Even when the pass will not be played, just occupy the space and let the defenders have to keep one eye out. I wish he gets among the goals so his critics will get off his back, also for his confidence and also to just see him be happy at Arsenal. Something he never was at Chelsea. I wish for him an Odegaard level of importance as he grows into his role. Many fans didn't want Odegaard back too!

If we win (its the team), and if we lose a match (its the team in its widest sense e.g. owner , senior team, manager , backroom staff etc.). Only when it becomes clearly obvious a player is hindering our performance, then the manager will have to take the appropriate action. Havertz will be a success at Arsenal.

We signed him for a high press; reading the midfield and distribution.

I've already argued with fans in the forums who should be watching this. Thanks from a true Gooner. I appreciate this.

[@florianhaake5590]

Arsenal need more top-level „pitch minutes“ to take CL seriously without sacrificing EPL championship run. Kai is perfect in this sense. He’s generally healthy, versatile, can start against any team in the world and provide value, and let’s us play in new ways (e.g., long ball outlet and cross target). That people are judging him because he didn’t break more ankles against two low block teams at the start of the season is definitely a sign that football iq isn’t always where it needs to be

[@S.H.E.A]

It’s very clear that Kai Havertz is a very technical player. I’m still a bit skeptical about him overall, but he has done a fine job so far, winning lots of duels in his games so far. I still don’t think he’ll be fantastic, but hope he proves me wrong

[@danielparish5378]

True. But if oddeguard gets injured or saka. He's the only player that we have that could cover both with out a big drop off except maybe trossard.. Having that in the team is worth the 16m a year we paid. People get caught up on the 65m. But him and Raya cost 19m this summer in the eyes of ffp. And if you look at Chelsea today 100m player missed a pen. And the other gave one away. Kai was also our second top scorer over the preseason. And shut down man city's passing from the back. And we beat them. So hopefully he has a great season for us. And helps us get over the line this year. He could of ran off back to Germany. But he's got something to prove.

The brilliant thing about Kai is his age. There's a lot of room for growing up and maturing still at only 24. I know it's hard to put it into context when there are some amazing younger players in the squad who are really coming into their own but at the end of the day even they will continue to improve. The reality is we have yet to see the best of them. The squad is really going to grow and mature and it's important as fans to support and cheer them on. I'm so excited to watch Kai play I think he improves the entire squad. Keep these player healthy and together and they are going to become one of the biggest dominant forces in world football over the next few years.

[@esalgomas]

brother, i swear haters need to watch him in action LIVE. i was at the emirates for the forest game and lemme tell you: you are absolutely correct. his positioning and blocking were superb and yes he won A LOT of duels. im no technical expert, but even then what kai did just clicked.vim one of the ambivalent gunner but deffo inclining towards trusting the process with him now!

[@nic_ccc3366]

Good analysis, completely agree. I think we'll see more from him going forward when Zinny comes back - he's largely played with Tomi and he's not great going forward (and is playing out of position). I expect that when Zinny is back (vs Fulham?) his ability to progress the ball better will allow Havertz to have more of an impact going forward.

[@za.307]

Effectively we bought a swizz army knife of a forward. Which I understand is Mikel giving himself options to deal with problems posed by opposition teams. As well as posimg different propositions of his own. Changing variations of play, similar to Man City. Ultimately you won't be able to pass verdict until the end of the season because we so many games and competitions to compete in. Personally I think he'll do better at Arsenal than Chelsea because we already have a method of play and a consistent team. Its just a matter of how successful he will be.

You nailed it towards the end. It's his versatility. If I said we bought a player. Who Scored 17 goals as a midfielder, which oddeguard hasn't. Has great off the ball work. Starts for his country. Scored a champions league winner. Can cover lw, cf, rw, cam. Scored more goals at Chelsea then kdb, and Salah, and mount. Was the best player last season at Chelsea.. is 6'4. And only cost 16m a year which helps with ffp. Oh and he's only 24. You'd be like who is this guy. So give him a year. It took xhaka 5 years before the fans. Got on the same page. But he also adds cover to all are attacking positions. Which we need. And xhaka couldn't do.

[@lightofbelenus7340]

I do not understand all the Kai havertz apologists. His off the ball qualities do not make up for a player that goes missing for large parts of matches. He is a midfielder who struggles to impose himself defensively or make incisive passes, a striker who struggles to finish, and a tall player who struggles to impose himself physically. We instantly played better against Fulham and returned to some of our past fluidity when Havertz was removed. Playing him at the expense of Gabriel is like playing down half a man all game. I am hopeful Arteta will develop a him as he is versatile. I want there to be a player I rate buried in there. But he currently should not be in the starting 11. Spending 65 mil on an inconsistent squad player who flopped at his last club seems like it was just a mistake. Let’s stop pretending Kai Havertz has some kind of hidden unappreciated “magical quality”.

[@skp8748]

He will be essential going forward. Silky football won't help in Milan away

A whole video about how Havertz is misunderstood and you don't even think he's of the standard or level required. So it's not that fans are wrong it's that they are right so far? The positions (some) you showed him standing in, he can't receive the ball in. He's not particularly quick or amazingly strong so it wouldn't stick in those situations anyway. He's very good in the air He's technically secure The rest of the things are definitely measured in Goals and Assists. That isn't reductive it is the way the game is assessed.

I am writing this comment before watching the video as they might mention what I am about to say. There was a headline on a recent Athletic article that asked the question "Is the havertz an 8? a cf? a winger?", and reading that headline reminded me of another german player who is also very difficult to profile and is also quite misunderstood. If you haven't guessed it already, I am of course talking about thomas muller. But of course unlike kai, tom actually has/had good stats to back him up. That's the only thing that's missing right now with Kai and once he gets that, all this mental gymnastics won't be necessary anymore.

[@goated6146]

Zinchenko will make Haverz shine, he loves to hit these passes. I just hope they get to play together so we can experience it.

[@paulpavlinskyi4793]

If he is really on 280k a week, then it is not a good business on our end.

[@Broughie]

I agree that if he gains the confidence with players and receives the ball centrally it would be helpful otherwise we are predictable with Martinelli and Saka. It would be better if he is able to run at the defenses with the ball which we lack presently.

[@theythinkimmadyouknow]

Not comparing them directly but Gilberto had the same issues. He was so good positionally that his sheer positioning ended attacks but he wasn't winning blood and thunder tackles so often wasn't immediately apparent. Thankfully people eventually started to realise what he brought to the team and he got the respect he deserved. Kai may be in a similar position.

[@ziadobaidi14]

Mate, love your analysis on everything you have done. You possess great intelligence in sport as well as behavioural psychology. A big 2 thumbs up from a Sydney Gooner 👍

[@FreeManFreeMan-w6s]

I don't know why I feel like Kai do not have that burning passion to win like G. Jesus or Nketiah.

[@Gd2knw]

Eric Ten Emery caught me off guard 😂😂😂 brilliant

[@RapidFire218]

Excellent vid. I'm convinced once Havertz has settled the goals and assists will also come. He's at a good club now.

[@CatFuntCanton]

He's at a small club who haven't won a title for 2 decades now loooooool

[@RapidFire218]

@@CatFuntCanton A small club?? we are bigger than Chelsea in every way. We have bigger revenues, bigger fan base and history shows overall we have been more successful. Although the actually point i was making was in terms of a club that looks after their players not in terms of success.

[@CatFuntCanton]

@@RapidFire218 U were bigger than Chelsea in the 20th century but in the modern world which all u Arsenal yiftis struggle to comprehend, you're just a small club who forever give out history lessons because that's all u have left.

It would be really interesting to get your thoughts on what are the best stats to directly or indirectly measure his effect on output / productivity etc.

[@David-SA62]

There is none mate, he’s output is “off ball” work which can be done by any mid player. Delusional

[@russelsheartinacage]

@@David-SA62 you're calling me delusional for asking a question? There are such things as proxies that could be used to infer Kai's contribution indirectly. It's quite common to use proxies to measure something indirectly that is hard to measure directly. Who's the deluded one here?

[@David-SA62]

@@russelsheartinacage It was a statement in that those stats are arbitrary because the position naturally demands that, the barometer of the position already exists. Hence trying to come up with another metric for a player that isn’t actually the tangible stats is delusional. If he was at our rivals we would be rightly calling out this delusion. It is calling out the mere notion not you as per se.

[@olsenfernandes3634]

Listening to you explain his playstyle made me realise that i see exactly what you see in Havertz.

[@malcolmpotter9528]

This is actually my problem with havertz, unlike dele Ali and muller he actually has good ability on the ball with the capacity to make things happen( pre Chelsea). It’s ok to be happy with his off the ball work but still want more from him on the ball.

[@jonathanward1585]

He was being hated on from the start of his arrival.. I say give him a chance and give him love/support.

[@kawuma20]

Big up bro, would like to see ur videos often, we are always waiting for ur analysis

[@hlamzar]

Can't wait for the mason Mount is misunderstood video from Mickey mount PR🤭

[@TheKingSkillsBW67]

I’m so excited to see you did this piece on Havertz! I just love this signing of all the 3 we made. He’s the one who’s profile and role requires a lofty perspective and extensive technical knowledge about the game; The rest of the other roles of the new signings are difficult but not as complicated as the Havertz role. That’s why I say he’s the most important player for us among the 3 new players. I see him making our offensive players far more deadlier already. The only quick improvement I hope for is his finishing. Odegaard struggled for nearly 3 seasons to get it right, now he’s deadly. So I have no doubt whatsoever about Havertz finishing medium and long term. For now his off the ball work is 💯 exciting for the team!

[@IhsaanAbrahams]

I really think we're clutching on straws here..

[@sargonsblackgrandfather2072]

But we know what Tonali (and many players like him) does and he cost around the same. If we’d gotten him we wouldn’t need hundreds of video essays trying to work out the enigma we’d just have a class midfielder. Now I hope Havertz proves the doubters wrong I really do, but I just wonder if we really needed to spend so much money on a player we can only hope becomes what we need instead of getting that in the first place.

[@CatFuntCanton]

You really just have to trust the process and whenever things do go wrong just excuse it with "It's Mikels first job in charge so needs more money and time" or "Refs and VAR are against us"
