How someone could watch this team play and come away with the idea that Havertz is the key to our defensive improvement is beyond me. That would be Declan Rice and a healthy back line lol
Appreciate the effort, hope to see it translate to results soon. But Kai certainly does not offer enough defensively to be a non factor in the attack
Tbf that’s v midfielders when he hasn’t played as a true midfielder most of his games. According to that site he is 70th perctile in goals and above the 97th in shots and xG and 85th in xA against other midfielders which is very far from a non factor in attack. If his confidence and shots can improve then those could become great numbers
Kai Havertz is a below average defender on every aspect besides winning aerials: https://fbref.com/en/players/fed7cb61/Kai-Havertz
