You could see the way he plays.
But that makes him special and that will...
That will improve with experience, with years.
He's going to get more composed.
He's going to get even the right decisions better.
He should have had a hat-trick tonight.
There's that big chance in the second half, right, where the ball goes well wide, where these chances are going to get better.
But what an impact he's had on this team.
And he's a fan's hero already now, which is everything that he's always wanted.
Yeah, I think Mikel Arteta felt that he deserved another start after the 45 minutes he had in the Champions League on Wednesday against Karl-Holmaty.
It was maybe a good time to give a break to Martin Odegaard, who maybe lately hasn't just been the most creative.
He has another role in this team right now in terms of control and triggering the press, but in terms of creativity, maybe something was lacking a little bit.
I think Arteta also wanted the size of Havertz in a game like this against a back five.
And that worked.
To be fair, I think his starting 11, Juan Saka pulled out of the precaution, it seems like.
But in the warm-up for Maduike, the starting line-up was the right one.
The substitutions to use the depth in the squad, like Craig just said, were the right ones as well.
Everybody that came on, if you have a look at it, had really good impacts.
on the performance and on the score.
