Havertz really needs to hold bench. We don’t press high up the pitch anymore because he’s not used to the press triggers and Odegaard is constantly shouting at him when to press. He doesn’t hold that wide 8 position when the ball goes out to Martinelli and it’s limiting the cutback options.

Arteta needs to acknowledge that it’s not working.

It would have been a mess online at half time if Odegawd didn't score after ******* gave away that ball.

Might need to take Saka off at some point. He’s been way below his high standards these past few games. I can see him getting a second yellow.

Jesus on for Eddie please! Viera on for ******.

I don't get what Arteta sees in Havertz as an 8. Dude is a 10/second striker so playing him deeper doesnt make much sense..

If he wants a midfield 3 with only proper ball players like a Pep team then all 3 need to have good movement on top of good passing. Havertz is nowhere near dynamic enough to do that.

Our midfield is trash ah though. We cannot deal with the press at all.
Antony has been a bright spark. never thought id say that
