This, combined with Havertz who isn’t as good as Xhaka either when it comes to progressive passes, is probably the biggest reason why our attack hasn’t been as good this year. It has more to do with midfield balance than our frontline.

Progressive passes don’t mean shit against a low block.

Not sure why people keep bringing this up.

Yep. As many accolades as Pep’s Barca got, the prime team, it was a snoozefest 90% of the time. They won a lot but at what cost. Madrid were playing trail blazing football at the time and were the more fun team to root for.

People are desperate for validation in this age of social media where there is basically none to be had.

Not even the biggest club in Newcastle lol.

I mean does it matter?

Emery might be amazing but Arteta is still better overall.

Same thing with Ramsdale tbh.

If you’re happy with your new girlfriend are you gonna look back at the ex you dumped and feel shit because she found someone too?

Damn, didn’t even realize that was the case. Let’s have it.

Pretty much every west ham fan was 100% confident his transition would be smooth and immediate.

I remember pressing X for doubt a lot, but credit to them, they knew what player he was.

Was thinking the same.

Ye except he’s at something stupid like 17/18. Literally one of the best records in the world. But keep on keeping on with your GNEV rhetoric, you sound super smart.

It was also so much easier to get in and out of highbury. Took like 20 seconds from gate to seat.

Though that might be because security was more lax back then too, idk.

Don’t think anyone gives a fuck that he went to Chelsea tbh.

It was the pre Barca shit.

Feel like all of our 8 and 10 will look like this because we’re against a bus with our slow buildup

You’re not allowed to bring logic in to these threads mate.

No one’s in denial. People see this kinda comment and get annoyed.

£65m is NOT a lot of money for an attacker in todays game, esp. For a PL proven one.

Same idiots that bring up his price tag just completely ignore the fact we sold Balo for close to 40m and he’s never played more than a few minutes for us.

I love Havertz as a person, but the reality is that some people overhype his performances to an absurd extent.

Possibly.

He has not been good, and anyone saying otherwise is just making excuses for him.

Hypocritical.

Risk goes against Artetas entire philosophy, so Kai is like his perfect player.

Spurs play risky football and look at them, living on a knife edge and now the wheels have fallen off.

We play against a low block nearly every game. How many opportunities for through balls do you think there are?

Just another day with referees.

Seeing brentford beat Chelsea at the bridge after last week is depressing af.

Don’t have a good feeling about the game.

I hope we start clicking soon and can put a run together.

Raya is better in every respect so I understand why.
