I think Havertz is great. If you can consciously expect him to not score and just focus on everything else, he’s actually very reliable. I’d argue he’s a physical upgrade over Xhaka (side to side agility/on the turn, taller) and just needs time in the side to understand his role. I don’t expect him to get double digits in goals but I can see plenty of key passes and assists. I’d love for him and Rice to become an elite double pivot.
