I watched Harvetz clips of his time at B. Luverkesen .
I can see what Arteta sees in him.
He actually fit Peps style.
But that wage is too much except that it was meant to boost his confidence.
So kai na confidence player.

He can still be integrated slowly and plat in cup games once he starts scoring his confidence will go up.

Hopeful****

I think Arteta is more of a Fixed XI kind of guy. He believes in having a fixed core starting players and looks to augment that team and tweak as per necessary using the bench. I agree with Arteta on the fact that, you can’t play the same kind of football with different players. Trossard can start before Martinelli but he won’t provide what Martinelli does, offensively and defensively. Same when Trossard starts ahead of Havertz. Story is the same, we can’t have too many starting lineups. It’s better to always start with one lineup that is balanced in all aspects of the game, versatile, and comprised of players who are less INJURY PRONE. That should always be the criteria for the starting eleven. All other players are to provide options, as and when necessary. You can’t rely on someone to start if they are injury prone. You can’t base your core strategies around such players. You have to start with players who can play together for the maximum period of time without being laid off by injuries. That’s the recipe for a winning and cohesive team imo. And Arteta seems to understand that. You can’t have a lineup that keeps changing because somebody may have to be replaced every other week or so.

People here have been asking, why Havertz? I will ask why was Xhaka picked by every other manager? Because he was always there, the one cog that you rarely will be without. You could always count on him to be ready and there, even when he wasn’t playing well. Only issue with him was he wasn’t employed in his right position.

And I have to say, Arteta has found someone to really fill up that impossible shoe in the modern football, and it’s Havertz. He is not injury prone and to me that’s the main criteria for a starting XI. The more a set group of players play together, the more refined and cohesive the team will get. That means less errors of all kinds, an almost seamlessly automated passing, great anticipation among players, and myriads other benefits.

People here are complaining, Arteta must start with ESR, or Trossard, or Viera. But I think that’s a very short sighted approach. ESR isn’t reliable in terms of his injuries. Trossard and Viera provide very similar profiles as most of our forward line, both tactically as well as physically. I am afraid, we don’t have anyone who can dismantle Havertz from the starting position and his age, his height and his very different profile from the rest of our forward line cements his place in the starting lineup, and he can be relied to play most of our matches like Xhaka.

Imagine, Arteta decides to start with ESR for a stretch of games and let’s say we achieved a great run of games, great performances and suddenly ESR gets injured and he now needs to be laid off for months. Rest of our team has been accustomed to having ESR in the team and suddenly their performances start dropping. Rang any bells? That’s how we suffered last season, with Partey and Saliba, and Zinchenko getting injured and most of our crucial gameplan depending on them.

I think what Arteta is prioritizing players with better injury record for his starting eleven. And I can’t fault that. It seems to be the right way to think about the starting XI choices. Simple and utilitarian.

I disagree totally with you on the bold.

1. Havertz has not earned the lifeline to be starting game after game and be dropping disaster class performance. At least when Xhaka was not in blistering form (like last season), he was known to be scoring those rocket Xhaka Boom goals when we needed them most. What has Havertz done on the pitch thus far to justify his continous feature in the starting line-up?

2. It's not just on nairaland people question Havertz's continuous inclusion in the team, Go to AFTVmedia, Arsenal official page on facebook, IG and even tiktok and all you will see people say about Havertz is his unimpressive performances thus far. Like this guy legit lost one-on-one in the Man utd game.

3. Maybe it's time Arteta rest Havertz and give players like Viera and Smith-Rowe that have proven themselves recently a chance ahead of Havertz. It's obvious Havertz does not have what it takes to bench Jesus and Nketiah in the CF role neither can he lace the boot of our captain fantastic Odegaard.

We would have stone if this deal happened

I felt stupid rushing home from an earlier commitment only to walk into M. Thurman scoring the 2nd goal. I swear, the match pain me I no go lie.

It is one thing to lose, it is another thing to lose that way to Inter Milan. No be even Mkhi own pain me, na that Calhanoglu own really pain me.

For a moment I thought Milan didn’t come with keeper but those goals were mad
Chic2pimp how are you doing too

This isn’t the game to play around. I remember we lost this fixture last season and I wailed my soul out. Infact, that was the game I concluded we would choke the league. I want to see a business like performance. Take and keep control of the game and take your chances. Good to see some stability with the back 4

Kai on the bench.

Veira starts

Ramsdale on bench
Arteta I know what you are doing
Ramsdale will surely start our UCL match, majority of those guys will be playing UCL debut and arteta won't spoil their joy

I can understand Ramsdale getting benched but Vieira against the physical Doucoure and co? Omo... all is well
