He’s a second striker. He should play in the hole behind Giroud (giggity). I would assume this means playing Kante and Mount together in midfield. Not sure Frank is that adaptable.

I don’t know, I haven’t seen anything from him at all this year to show he’s good at soccer. Timo and ziyech have both shown flashes of what they’re capable of doing, but Havertz just looks lost out there

Did no one on this board watch him in the bundesliga? He’s a very good player.

Plenty of players have had success in the bundesliga and struggled in the premier league. He’s been bad this year

we have a lot of "if they don't do it in the prem they suck" people on here. The reality is the prem clubs that buy guys like this (united, chelsea, etc.) are really stupid and horribly mismanaged. as i've sad previously, people will write havertz off. He'll go to Bayern and take over for an aging Muller and average 40 goal contributions all comps every year for the next decade.

Pulisic struggled to adapt too. And at least he was played in his normal position.

Maybe Havertz will turn it around. I’ve watched a lot of Chelsea matches this year and he hasn’t shown anything. Even when Pulisic was struggling he showed flashes of what he was capable of.

Havertz isn’t a flashy technical player like Pulisic. He is more the guy who makes late runs into the box and helps set up others close to the box. I think he will come good but Frank needs to get him closer to goal.

quote:

Chelsea playing weaker opponent. Timo scores a goal. People will talk about how good he looks and “using the momentum”,”he’s found his form”. Then will go back to just running around a lot and not scoring when playing actual opponents. News flash. He “finds his form” only against weak opponents or meaningless games


Then goes back to being Timo Werner

There’s like the smallest crooked cog making this whole team shaky. I feel like something could click anyway with ziyech back in. Timo needs to stay up top, havertz needs to stay closer to the top, keep CHO on the right wing. Things will click. Just need some good juju.

Kante is such a mystery right now.

Another bad outing. Good thing it was Fulham. Timo can’t finish. Lethargic all around. Sack Frank.

Havertz was great that season he and Julian Brandt played as the 2 #8s.. KH on the right side...

His best hope is for Chelsea to get the right manager in that knows how to use all this nice young talent... I hope they dont..

I know, every game I convince myself today is the today we put it together. Every game I'm wrong.

Interesting line up. Extremely attacking. Vardy is about to be the counter king
