Havertz has made a big difference to our fluency since coming on.
I genuinely think Havertz might be better than Jesus in the role that Jesus came into this team to play. Especially if it means that Odegaard doesn’t have to drop as deep.
I think Jesus had his place and got us to where we needed to be, but we’ve evolved beyond that. Havertz enables us to play better football and he’s a goal threat. I never believe Jesus will score.
