The only game Kia Havartz have done well is the game against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League group-stage, and Arteta said in the post-match press conference that he was really connecting in cascade despite the fans reporting that they are starting to get fed up with his (Kia Havartz) performance.
I don't know what need to be done for this player Kia Havartz to get back to the form he had back then when Chelsea won the Champions League, up till this moment is like the man has lost it all, no goals or assist and he's not even playing well.
Is it that Arsenal wasted money on this man Kia Havartz or does he need more time to prove him self?
I think he needs some more time. When we look at his past, he has always played in good teams and his performance is not bad at all. He may not be able to play very well right now, but he has great potential and will start playing well again.
If you are going to play in a team like Arsenal, you must be one of the best. If your role in the team is so important, you must contribute to the team in terms of score. He's getting some attention because he's not very successful right now, but I think he'll start playing much better
The truth is, Havartz doesn't seem to be in form and I am just wondering why Mickel Arteta is confident in putting him on every game that the club plays, even as subs. I guess it is because he wants to continue to give him the chance to prove himself, yet, Havartz isn't living up to promise.
It's been a while since the Arsenal squad become this formidable and that has increased the strength and motivating spirit of each and every player in the team including those sitting on the bench. That has equally increased the level of competition between players as they work together to deliver the team. In this condition, it is easy to fish out any underperforming player right now.
One thing I respect Arteta for is his spirit of sportsmanship. His dedication to carry everyone along and ginger all the players to focus on the goal. Although he has his favorite players but he has continually shown every player sense of belonging. It is not different from the balance he is shown between Aaron Ramsdale and David Raya. Arteta said he was going to rotate between the two goalkeepers and he has applied that in the previous matches where he used David Raya to play the last three matches against Everton, PSV and Tottenham. Raya actually started the Champions league match against PSV which was quite surprising. Now Arteta went ahead to resume Ramsdale in the yesterday's match against Brentford where Arsenal scored a 1-0 win over Brentford. Meaning, Ramsdale is like to play the next match against Bournemouth and other few matches to come before switching to Raya, again.
I find this, fantastic!
