Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4699813, member: 405"] I'm as disappointed in Havertz as any fan can be. But I will say that if you look at all the advanced metrics, he's kind of like Bobby Firmino used to be for Liverpool, at his best. Did not score a lot of goals, but presses well, takes up good positions between defensive lines to keep offensive play flowing, and he covers a lot of ground running at the top of the press. He's an excellent glue guy. Chelsea needed him to score more goals, playing him a lot at the number 9. On Arsenal, I think he's going to be very useful. They've got lots of goals in the team already, so the pressure on him to score won't be as great, and I think he will fit in well with how they play. [/QUOTE]
