    Not a tactics guy, but if Kai is ideally a tip of a diamond type of player and football has moved past the need for a diamond midfield and it is inferior to a box midfield, then why is he here?

      From what I observe while giving him the benefit of doubt, I feel that he has the qualities and technical ability needed for our number 8 role. And he’s working really hard.

      Sadly, he is super low on confidence which affects his execution, especially in the final third. If I had spent three of my formative years in that dysfunctional excuse for a football club, I’d be low on confidence too.

      We might play him at the 9 this upcoming match with a double pivot of Partey and Rice. I believe this is the optimal scenario for Havertz. At the end of the day, he was a poor signing by Arteta and Arsenal. We should have gotten a proper number 8.
