Every player have a struggle period, the issue we have is we don't have a backup. Jesus is always injured. Havertz should not be our #1 striker. He can do a good job in rotation.
Pretty much this, Havertz is far from perfect and can be incredibly frustrating but he is being overplayed because either the attackers are injured or not good enough.

Boy, 17, arrested on suspicion of "malicious communications" following online abuse of Kai Havertz and his wife.

Funny when I showed support to Havertz I had multiple people throwing abuse at me for pages but no energy for all the other posters here showing support. Interesting.

His 2nd half of last season play was invaluable to our run last year. We don't finish as close as we did in the PL without his performances. Won both games vs Brentford for us, the Everton game at home. He starts at 9 vs Villa at home last year, we win the league.

Can't take that away from him. Gotta give him his just due for his 2nd half of last season performance. He certainly earned his transfer fee during that run.

He has struggled as of late, no doubt about it. Hoping he gains that form back from 2nd half of last season. Might be asking too much. :lol: We'll see.

The issue with Kai is that the evidence suggests this is in fact his norm, and the “blip” at the end of last season was a purple patch.

I don’t think he is - not compared to the run in? And anyway he is missing at a much higher rate which is what’s really bothering me.

Well in that run in he got 9 goals and 6 assists in 14 games.

Currently he's on 3 in his last 4.

This is league only. Obviously in all comps his numbers are good.

I can't really complain if he gets 30-40 G/A this season.

4 games is not a sample size ffs

From the start of that run up until now (league only) he's scored 17 and assisted 8 in 33 games. (2859 minutes).

25 G/A in 33 appearances. Or basically a goal or assist every 114 minutes (nearly 1 a game)

Better sample size?

I feel an avatar bet in my bones.

What’s his GA at the moment?

I raise you an avatar bet and slogan of our choice. (Within the rules of course)

He's currently on 16 G/A with at least 22 games left to play.

If he gets injured for 2 months or more the bets off. @Trilly @A_G

Fgs I’m comparing this season to the end of last and your including the end of last?!? Are you deliberately being weird rn?

End of last season (or since he moved up front) to all of this season is the comparison.

End of last season 15 in 14
This season 10 in 19 (1662 minutes)

I expect that to pick up into the final games and he'll then be on the same level as last season.

I don't think he's a purple patch player, once we've ended the season we will have the full data to see.
