The thing the the thing that stood out that stands out to me uh about him at the moment and Arsenal is I just think this playstyle suits him a lot better at the moment.
I think
A lot of this is down to Havertz coming back in over Victor Yokoras.
Now, I know uh listeners may uh having inferred I'm not the biggest fan of Victor Yokoras through my battles with Kai over the last season.
So on a serious note, I just he has very specific qualities and some weaknesses.
And I think l last season and actually just using the Snappy game as an example, because Yokoras started it.
He hasn't started any Premier League game.
He touched the ball six times in this game on I think played six passes in this game.
Havertz in his Premier League games has been passing it around 20, 25 times.
Right.
And I think the what when you watch Arsenal against Napoli for the first 17 minutes or so, Ernell's getting a lot on the ball and he's doing very well.
But a lot of it's in wide areas.
And Jocker is just kind of acting as like an isolated figure up front.
Now that can work out.
Like if you're able to create chances in the box and he can get onto them and crosses as well, there him not touching the ball doesn't matter.
As long as he's scoring, who cares, right?
But I think what Arsenal is doing so well is building up a lot quicker and having players a bit closer together.
And when you have Havertz on the pitch, someone who I think has a stronger first touch than Yokarez is a bit cuter in his actions like that.
Ridiculous dummy at the weekend against Chelsea.
Lovely.
