Because we signed Raya on loan from Brentford, he is not eligible to play them after the international break. Ramsdale guaranteed a start.
this sub somewhat beating the reactionary allegations with the havertz commentary because it’s literally the same comments recycled every single week from the same people regardless of the situation. not even hitting when it should now cuz we all desensitised to it.
Everyone in hear mad at Havertz for poor performances. I’m just annoyed we can’t rely on Partey for more than 250 minutes without him spontaneously combusting
All the plastic brigade crying about Havertz are proof that he is going to come alive for Arsenal - they always have egg on their face, time and time again, and if they claim something, always assume the opposite is what will actually happen.
Brazil national federation really trying to fuck our season around Christmas for the second year in a row huh?
If he’s not been fit enough to play any of our last 5 games then he’s not ready to play in a fierce derby against that thug, Romero.
People are so extreme regarding Havertz either declaring that he’s a complete bust or that he’s doing really well, and fighting with each other over these extreme views.
When actually it’s okay to acknowledge he has underperformed, but also okay to acknowledge it is 12 games into the season and we really don’t know if he’ll come right, but seeing as we’ve spent 65 mil on him I really hope he does.
I see plenty of people in here right in the middle with him. I think you’re just noticing the extremes
Probably because the extremes like to shoehorn it into most treads
The problem is that fans are not applying the same evaluation metric on the new signing. If Rice can be said to worth the 100mil after 12 games , Havertz can be judged now.
That doesn’t mean they can’t be judged again after another X games.
Fair enough, I hope he comes good though.
We can only hope
He hasn’t justified his price and his finishing is atrocious. He was bought for final third things and he’s a bit slacking at them. That has to be said.
However, like Arteta said, he’s doing good at everything else. He has held fort in positions/responsibilities people didn’t give him a chance in. Almost half of his minutes have come with the responsibility of offering solidity to the team, instead of primarily offence.
His game Vs Newcastle is how he should have started his career here. That’s the Kai Havertz we had in mind. But we are playing him everywhere after years of playing in a disjointed side.
People are far more overly defensive of him than they are overly critical, poor performances get praised, when an average performance is called average (like vs Newcastle) people call you a “hater”
People are far more overly defensive of him than they are overly critical
Yep the DD is just full of people randomly shoehorning how great Havertz is while no one ever just randomly starts shitting on him…
Come on mate.
It’s not “randomly starting shitting on him” to criticise a poor/average performance.
His only good performances have been him doing Fellaini stuff vs Chelsea and arguably City.
When people criticising him stops being classed as randomly shitting on him or “hate” I’ll stop thinking the overly defensive people have more sway here.
The mod who is deleting the cat pics
Cats are stupid jerks anyways.
Nice try, we know you love all those six/seven murderous litte furry psychopaths you own.
Five. And they give me hives.
Aw but you love them
They just woke up.
Assume that we sell Ramsdale and buy a young gk prospect. Who would be your choice for a young gk understudy?
The question is which top team will be willing to pay a transfer fee on top of his current wages to Ramsdale?
Forgot about Sambi. Another player I’d start over havertz ffs
Hot take but I love Bukayo Saka. Hotter take William Saliba (also love him) is good, the goodest even
People try to sell Havertz to me and they end up describing Soucek.
There’s no way. you don’t actually believe a Havertz description brings Soucek to mind first
Me waiting for day 366 so I can finally have an opinion on a player.
You’re absolutely allowed to have a critical opinion on a new player if you want.
Just don’t expect people to give you validation for it?
Just saw the clip of Ramsdale saying he cant concentrate for 90min and thats why he engages with rival fans💀
Nah he has no future here
Totally explains all those early bs goals we let through last season
I feel like Artetas training methods is contributing to our injury issues. In Parteys case especially almost all his latest problems are coming from a kick in training.
Lol. Lol. We have basically 3 big injuries, which is pretty normal. And of the 3, 2(Jesus and Partey) are injury prone and 1 is a freak injury(Timber). The rest of the injuries are pretty short term. The thing with Partey is I think his body is done. And I believe that a big cause of this is that Partey is older than his official age. It’s something thats consistently done by African athletes and is pretty much accepted. I’m an African and in as much as I don’t like it, I understand it since it’s mostly their only way out of poverty.
braverman sacked? what a week this is already
Good riddance Cruella. Awful woman.
chef’s kiss
Fully deserved. Can’t help but be reminded just how much politics is just a cesspool of snakes, Sunak literally said he had “Full confidence” in her last week, then sacked this morning.
That’s not politics, that’s something common in everything. There’s a reason why it’s called "the dreaded vote of confidence“
Politics is common in everything. The dreaded vote of confidence is just decision makers playing politics before sacking someone
