Kai has played almost identical minutes to Haaland & Salah in all comps. I see hardly any mention of them being overplayed or poorly managed. (& salah is over 30). I really believe the justifiable frustration about transfers is leading people to draw specious injury conclusions

Through November, at least, Havertz had covered the second-most distance in the league of anyone.
(Lot of nuance/opacity to all of that, of course.)
I presume he could have had his minutes managed better against Newcastle.
Had he come off 15/20/25 minutes earlier on Weds we’d all have been pleased but maybe he *still* tweaks his hamstring in Dubai? What can you do?

Seeing him live, can see he’s blowing, not always clear on camera
He’s covers more ground than any Other forward in the Prem
It all adds up
Why are people trying so hard to just not say, the club got the Summer & Jan wrong?
You seem adept at a spreadsheet, why don’t you add some other positions/players to this list?
It’s not my bag
Not midfielders or defenders but you seem obsessed with finding at stats that backs up your comments
No matter who we get in the summer, he’s gonna be a huge part of our squad
Not to mention, all the matches where Havertz started as a midfielder then finished the game as the lone striker 🤯
Both positions have heavy demands in Arteta’s system so I’m surprised he didn’t break down sooner tbh, due to fatigue.
I agree playing the players isn't a mistake.
Let’s compare their sprints, distance covered etc, it will be stark
You watch the games, you see with your own eyes his load is different to theirs. His role is entirely different.
They seem very to be the last line of attack whereas Kai covers more blades of grass
