    World class numbers? Havertz hasn’t once put up world class numbers in his life.

    He hasn’t once scored above 20 goals a season. That used to be the bare minimum for a top striker to be considered as having a good season

    Did you forget Messi and the false 9? Pretty sure the little guy did perfectly well in that exact role.

    Arteta has always been trash with substitutions. Since the very first season.

    It’s 5 years of the same old and now we are regressing to the mean. I know he’s not going to get fired this year but if he does not buy a striker, winger, and midfielder to replace Martin we will be stuck saying next year again. If he does buy those 3 positions this season or in the summer and we still win nothing, arteta needs to go.

    Can only spend so much and get no results from it. His football is cowardly and he never goes for the kill.

      He finished the season with the equivalent of a goal every other game, a record he maintained pretty much until now

        He scored 13 goals in 37 appearances. Yes that is almost a goal every other match. But no, that is an awful return for a striker at the top of the league on a team aiming to win the title. You need a 20 goal a season striker to win the league

        13 players finished with more goals than him last season. Including Chris wood.

          He started slowly, we know that. No one is arguing that fact
