Kai Havertz

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

Some of his first touches today were absolutely beautiful, genuinely no other way to describe them 😂

He actually reminds me of Thomas Muller but if he was technically better, could actually manipulate the ball in tight spaces and had real high level footballing intelligence (although that may be a bit harsh on Muller also re footballing intelligence because I have rarely seen someone who just ghost in spaces or positions where the ball ends up as often as with him who isnt a natural forward, although some of the finishes hes put out are just absolutely terrible but still somehow go in).

If we go take the game to Madrid from minute 1 he must start.

It's 6 assists, excluding penalties won.

Got the statistics from transfermarkt.de, didn’t know they include penalities won.

They count even deflected shots etc... On Transfermarkt you can assist and score the same goal 😆

About Havertz I wanted to add that I like how big standard is set by Tuchel for him. He started just 8 games from 23 under Tuchel.

After first game against Wolves he saw he is not ready and sidelined him for weeks plus that knock injury.

He came back against Everton with great performance and won his place for the next games. But once he dont deliver constantly he is back to bench. 

Kai did not deliver against Brighton and did not start next two games in West Ham and Real. Did not deliver against Porto second leg did not start against City.

Basically the message is: I know you can do it every game and you have to!

What a player he is going to be...

That was his best performance ever apart from his horrible finishing skills lol

There was a moment in second half when he break Ramos apart with dribbling. He is so lay back, but also wanted to fight Nacho.

Last few games now he's starting to come into a real rich vein of form. Let's hope it continues. 

Looks simplistic at times but as I said before for me, he's very similar but also a much more technically proficient and intelligent version of Thomas Muller 4/5 years ago.  

What is it they used to call Muller? Raumdeuter? Interpreter of space? In the final third, Kai just gets into spaces where you maybe don't think there is any. Or he makes almost near CF like runs off the ball despite being more of a attacking midfielder.

Just needs to add a ruthless streak to his game.

Disasterclass in finishing. tbf only one was guilt edged, two were just extremely unlucky. Still does not look good through with 2 and then shoot straight at the goalie. has to work on this.

Great performance. Was super unlucky with two of his shots hitting the bar, but should've taken that one-on-one chance against the snake.

Havertz and Hazard have reputation of being lazy yet they run most in their teams...

Such stat can be deceiving.

Kai Havertz was fucking class don’t let the missed chances make you think different. 

He stepped up against the biggest club in the world in the biggest game of his career after so many downfalls. Next season he’s gonna make a lot of people look stupid.

He has been great lately. 

I quite like him with Werner upfront together and another pacey player just to the right or left that pushes up when we go forward. 

 

Is he finally just settling and find his feet or do people think it is a particular position that works best for him in this team, or the PL as a whole? So much talk when Frank left that he wasn't being utilised properly and a bunch of other stuff (which I agreed with actually) but he took a while to find his feet under a new manager too, so has there been anything specific that has lit this fire recently? 

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

Even for his standards an absolute shit show. What a pathetic miss. Of the 10 or so big chances he missed this season this was probably the worst. He could have put it anywhere and chose to blast it over
