- When he joined Arsenal in 2023, Kai Havertz was openly mocked, being voted as THE WORST TRANSFER of the summer window but in 2024, Havertz has completely turned it around, emerging as one of the best players in the Premier League and it's all thanks to Mikel Arteta & his Arsenal squad...

Let's talk about Trossard
100%, rated him since brighton and KNEW he'd kill it with the gunners 🔥
Quality player 👌
Has his moments but have you watched many full 90s of his? He can really ghost large periods of games.
That being said he's a good squad member and he is a really likeable guy.
@Mosschino-xx2vp you're
I literally said 1 negative thing and like 3 positives.
If this is how you handle opinions the Internet isn't for you.
@Mosschino-xx2vp also Havertz scored the crucial goal against Brighton. Making a game we were absolutely cruising in go to 3-0 just simply wasn't crucial. You could have picked a better example.
Arteta and his coaching staff deserve so much credit for his upturn in form.. COYG!
I think this is somewhat true, on the other hand I think chelsea deserve a trial for how many great players have looked shit at their club.
Kai havertz - turned around when he joined arsenal
Christian Pulisic: turned around when he joined AC Milan
Joao Felix: Improved when he joined Barca
I think Havertz is just good, and yeah Arteta and staff deserve something for seeing that but also they didn't create that, and a lot of really good players get fucked by them not being understood.
Given Chelsea's record with good players recently I have to wonder about players like mudryk, caicedo, and fernandez, they might actually be really good
@@junewalker9341 and Jorginho
His best position is to be an attacker with no specific positions.
You can bring him anywhere, if you are out of players, literaly.
Even as a left back.
Like that
Let's talk more about why the criticism of Kai Havertz and scrutiny only really started when he joined Arsenal? 7 months ago, Statman Dave said Fabio Vieira should be starting ahead of Havertz. 4 months ago, Statman Dave in 'The Curious Case of Kai Havertz' said "If he doesn't score or assist, he becomes a bit of a ghost on the pitch" and expected more from a £65m. That same video in reply to a comment Dave says "I just question his overall defensive awareness like when defending in a block or tracking a runner."
When Arsenal were first interested in signing Havertz in July 2023, I duly made note of a stat that revealed he was ranked 2nd behind Erling Haaland in PL off-ball runs in the penalty area for 2022/23 - in a Chelsea side that has been horrendously unstable for 2 years. THIS WAS THE BIGGEST CLUE WHY ARTETA BOUGHT HAVERTZ IN THE FIRST PLACE, DAVE. 2:11 - I'm glad you've finally seen the light too.
That’s not true , at Chelsea he was also hated on
@@urbz100why are you arguing strawman?
At what point did this guy say "Kai was loved at Chelsea".
Facts are facts lad, and the Kai had the best stats out of all the players at Chelsea last year in many attacking aspects. He also had the second most off the ball runs into the penalty area in the entire league. These are facts. Truths.
@@StigPrice'let's talk more about why the criticism of kai havertz and the scrutiny only really started when he joined arsenal'
Urbz is simply saying that kai was also criticised and scrutinised against at chelsea. It isn't a new thing for kai havertz.
Calling others a Strawman when you seem to be the one grasping at straw. Tsk tsk tsk.
@@michaelboiteau9890 again, he hasn't said that people at Chelsea weren't hating on havertz. Infact, he didn't make a statement at all, he asked a question (although that's most likely a typo).
I think what he's talking about is the fact that when arsenal signed havertz every football youtuber started making weekly videos about havertz, the pundits on sky, BT, espn, talksport etc started asking why arteta would want to sign havertz... My guy went from being called King Kai to apparently not knowing how to kick a ball.
And it's continued from there, regardless of if the criticism is negative or positive stuff, since he joined arsenal, people won't shut up about him lol
When he was at Chelsea, the only people who cared about Kai havertz love or hate, was Chelsea fans. But when he signed for arsenal the entirety of world football including half the arsenal fan base joined together to write the guy off, create fail compilations of him etc lolol. The hate that Arsenal brings everybody wanted him to fail, especially the Chelsea fans. They don't want to see king Kai succeed at a rival club.
The moment Kai signed for arsenal, that's when the criticism and scrutiny REALLY began. If what he thought he experienced at Chelsea was bad, it was nothing compared to the moment he signed for the gunners.
@@StigPrice is there a comment that's been deleted because nowhere did urbz ask a question.
His movement is phenomenal! Watch his against Brighton. Tricked both defenders into thinking he was going in front of them. By the time they realised where he was it was too late!!
And if turn the volume while watching it you can hear both the defenders saying “doh!!”🤦🏾♂️ when they realised they been done.
Not the quickest? The ammount of times i have mistaken him for Martinelli hes very quick.
he’s a 6’4 turtle 😭
@@eastm479 He is quite fast. His body shape tends to mislead people, but he is really quick.
Thing is he doesn't look fast because he's so tall & has that languid body language too like Ozil. But yes, he's definitely quicker than most assume.
His legs don't move as fast but his legs are loooong
@@Amberle73 Usain Bolt's much quicker so why didn't Arteta sign him instead?
I think Kai can improve hugely. He's massively talented being technically skilful, very intelligent in how he reads the game and brilliant at timing his runs. He also has a great work ethic and is cold as ice under pressure in front of goal. To me, he just needs to be encouraged to play, as Arsen Wenger used to say "From the hip". He needs to play with more intuitive flare and from his own sense of fun. I think Arteta is the perfect manager to help him do this and I think there's a good chance he'll blossom into a true worldy.
He's cold as ice under pressure in front of goal?? Yes because he freezes!
he also needs to toughen up his physical game more given how tall he is. i mean he is 6"4
Top analysis of a hugely talented but underrated player. Truly a bargain at £65m and may save us a lot of money down the road. Who needs Toney?
Thanks Michael ❤
Arsenal
Truly a bargain at £65m330k pw to deliver 8 goals in 38 games looooolBargain???
Great video man, incredibly insightful
Another great analysis @statmandave. The closest player that could replace kai in the team if he became injured might be jesus, but i think we would have to look for a more like for like bench squad player in the jext transfer window. I wonder what options arsenal may go for?
0:07 lol should have seen that coming.
We met at a pub bathroom and you said this video was coming. Nice
Totally agree with the muller comparison. Just not got the experience or maturity to do it to that level yet
I watch him a lot during games and he make very clever off the ball runs that are often missed by other players, but by doing so, he creates space. You can often see his frustration when his runs are missed. Just my take, but I think he would benefit playing with Partey more due to his ability to pass and split defences.
Spot on 👏🏽
Great.
Just a note: I miss the other kind of "News-like" videos you used to make....with a big 'screen' behind you. They used to excite me BIG.
Can you do Amorim and Liverpool tactics and signings etc
🔜
Expressions using a statman dave reference and I see his video under expressions video😭
Timo Werner talking about kai havertz
The best part is that he isnt even close to his best yet. Still only 24 as well.
Wait till Arsenal adds a striker and Havertz is played as a SS in a midfield diamond.
Great analysis
This is crazy, if I wasn’t aware I’d think bro hit 20 goals looking at the title lmao
He is not far off that mark to be fair
I thought the same. Glad I am not alone!
Yeah keep it up❤
We need more united videos on who we meant to sign and whatnot. We missed ya and you talking bout Havertz 🤦🏾♂️
Talking about United isn’t fun atm. We got a video planned though. That’s a fun concept.
Kai gives arsenal a different dimension upfront.very interient with the ball
I don't think anyone can say that he's not important in our team. Now he's in his best position on the pitch, he's extremely effective and is having a big impact in big games and has scored some important goals. He's an extremely intelligent footballer and I think even our own fans have misunderstood him in what he brings to the team.
When I first heard about his transfer, I wasn't 100% convinced it was one we needed but he's proved everyone wrong.
Does anyone know where to find in-depth stats on teams?
Alright Dave, like your videos. May seem an odd comment but you'll get a better sound if you move your mic down another 3-4 inches away from your chin (roughly double what it is now).
Just a bit less proximity in the pickup of your voice with a rounder tone, give it a test and see what you think.
Will do mate
Would have been nice to see some stats comparing his Chelsea days vs Arsenal 2023 vs Arsenal 2024. The analysis is very subjective and totally focused on 2024.
at chelsea the place where good young players go die. He was crap. At Arsenal he’s doing much better than he ever was in 1 month than the years he spent at Chelsea. Hope this helps
The state arsenal are in now i feel like they could take in any player and they would become better...
I don't know whose idea it was to give Arteta a Raumdeuter in a side where he has Martin Ødegaard, but they're not getting paid enough
Is best position is in the ghosting drift roll
David Raya is no.22, no12 is Timber i believe
small minor mistake
Keep moving Kai around, keep them guessing!
Really annoyed me that you have Saliba and Gabriel the wrong way round 😂
he's probably more useful than Muller strictly for consideration to be in PL cuz he has physical presence in both midfield and final third
It's all thanks to Mikkel Arteta and his Arsenal Squad? I'd say that such a claim seems to be just another mocking of Havertz's abilities. Havertz mainly got himself to thank for his abilities and the fact that he didn't let the haters pull him down. I mean let's not forget the fact that Hvaertz has been going through a very bad depression, which obviously impacted his abilties on the field. And the ruthless english media and public certainly didn't help it - instead they did smell blood and were out to completely destroy the man for eternity. Havertz has already been good before and has proven the worth he could bring to any team. He wasn't touted as a generational talent and was the most sought after young talent for nothing back in 2020. People with actual ball knowledge knew about his qualities and kept on beleiving in him.
Pay me 330k pw and i'll pretend to be depressed and gladly have the ruthless English media and public mock me everyday 7 days a week 52 weeks of the year!!
Where do i sign up?
Tsamina mina, eh, eh
Waka waka, eh, eh
60 million down the drain
Kai Havertz scores again
It was clear when havetz arrived that given the way arsenal setup the most obvious place for him was false 9 ( given his skillet and the way arteta wants his false 9 to play). It was clear from community shield. He does need to improve his scoring but he is getting there. Why ppl criticized the player is bc arteta put him in an unfamiliar midfield role and he just was bad. Ppl will cite chelsea but there he had kova, jorginho, mount around him, very different setup. For germany he plays forward too, for bayer he played second striker. Naturally, as is customary with fans they directed their hate on the player rather than the person putting him there. Similar to when xhaka played at left back. Now arteta tried different ways to justify/shoehorn havetz there, playing odegaard deeper, playing trossard to help havrtz out but at the end of the day it's clear what s his best position is. The only casualty being are the lost points when havetz played in midfield, which in all likelihood will in the end count against us in this title race. But kudos to artera for correcting his mistakes, took too long in my opinion to acknowledge his mistake but we knew that with arteta, i e Willian
Lol what points did Havertz cost us??? He started quite a few games in midfield where he made a great impact. This dude can play anywhere now and he will pull up trees.
@@jamaicansonnets1560 Why was he dropped for both Porto games and the Bayern game on Tuesday?
Was he injured?
@@user-im3ud6mv6w He wasn't? He started in both. Also started against Bayern and did decent given the fact that our defence goofed up.
@@jamaicansonnets1560
He started in both?? What did he do??
Answer? Absolutely nothing Again
What's the difference between a false 9 and a treble winning Haaland no. 9?
Finally somebody sees he’s the new ‘space invader’ Muller
Let's talk about Chris Wood at Forest who's scored 3 times more than £330k pw Havertz
Yeah sure - is that why Forest is in a relegation scrap?? Anthony Elanga looks like fucking Maicon in that side.
@@jamaicansonnets1560 Lol, Forest are in a relegation scrap and still their striker has 3 goals more than Havertz
Listen to Buju....
Boom bye bye xx
@@PaulClarke-dv5sr ..cause Havertz is not a striker??
Chris Wood is the 🐐 though. Hard comparison
Wen he wins a ucl with his goal ever in his career we shall talk about him
The guy is smart kull
No you have to talk about Kai havertz, the only thing he does that’s okay, is movement in the box. Jesus does that, giroud good at it, lacazette. He miscontrols, gives away possession, can’t shoot properly, Kmt
It really reminds me a lot of the Giroud case. Also a player with obvious weaknesses in his position, the cope at the time was similar, his hold up, link up, presence, aerial ability are great!!
Ultimately Havertz is too lackluster in possession to play in midfield for a team that wants to control matches, and not clinical or skilled enough to be a top striker. I suspect Arsenal are gonna go for a big midfield and striker signing in the next 3 windows, and Havertz will just become a utility man.
@@0M0rty similar in the narrative. I see too much overhype about havertz, but Giroud actually had link up, aerial threat, shots and pressence and the fans at the time were a bit more realistic about the players. Nowadays it seems to be coddling towards Kai
@@trollwithabishai211 Giroud definitely got more hate for his finishing woes, and there was nowhere near as much talk about him being this underrated genius, true.
Ultimately, Havertz is a fine, versatile, rotational player who can offer something different in midfield or upfront, but he wasn't worth the money, and isn't the long term solution, just like Giroud wasn't.
False nine is his best position.Your analysis of him is spot on.
What's the difference between a false 9 and a treble winning Haaland no. 9?
@@user-im3ud6mv6w Great question!!!
We really don't though.
There is a reason Bayern wanted him to replace muller and Liverpool to replace firminio
There is also a reason why he's level with goals scored with Luton Towns Clinton Morris...
At this moment in time, I believe anyone who still wants Arteta out and don’t trust his plan for Arsenal has got to be supporters of other teams. Cause if they aren’t, maybe it’s time to support another team nah?! 😂
Havertz is not exactly explosive but hes sprint speed and stamina is pretty elite.
Right back🗿
I think he’s Thomas muller left footed
Doing exactly what he did at chelsea!!!
You forgot what he does defensively and when we don't have the ball. I think Arteta likes him alot for that..
Havertz is going to be pivotal to Arsenal’s trophy wins this season.
Who told you that?
@@JackBowyer-rn1py No one told me. I just believe it. We’ll see whether I was right or wrong at the end of the season.
@@SilverSurfer5150 Sure. I'll bet you $20k that he wins nothing this season.
What do you say now?
@@JackBowyer-rn1py Try to stop being an asshole. Did you read my last comment?
@@JackBowyer-rn1py I don't think he fancies looool
Dennis Bergkamp 2.0 ?
What???
So many of those Arsenal fans who were rubbishing Havertz earlier in the season are now saying or implying they knew all along how great he was …😂😂😂
Let's talk about why Berbatov said Havertz is him in these times..
What if Arsenal get Gyorekes or Toney, what’s Kai Havertz role then? CAM?
Hopefully walking the club dog and ball boy
@statmandave. Havertz is a very inconsistent player. I could almost 100% guarantee he's a bench player next year. As a chelsea fan it wasn't the his attributes or movement. But his mentality. Too I inconstant and not clinical enough. March and early April are usually where he gets most his goals but his inability to be consistent is a huge factor to his game.
Kai havertz was like 20 y When he joined you. Its unfair how you fans of Chelsea treated him, as if he was some already made superstar that failed at your club. He's not even in his best years yet and can still improve alot.
No we don’t
50m for Haaland or 65m for Havertz?
Who got the better deal, Pep or Arteta?
Havertz is a decent player thriving in a team with a solid system. Nothing special about him
The 4 trophy less years on the bounce solid system?
"Not quite central midfielder as Rodri"... CM Rodri? I stop watching there, ok. You should know the difference between DM/CM/AM
Everybody, including statman dave underrated Havertz. Best arsenal player
Who's the 2nd best? Cedric?
@@user-im3ud6mv6w Odegaard, then Partey followed by Jorgi

lets talk about Mount
Hahahahaha
Lets talk about Mount who won more at Chelsea than Arsenal have in the last 20 years
@@user-im3ud6mv6w revert to my previous comment
Maybe you should talk about the 65m that Arteta spent on Havertz that for an extra 30m he could of bought Maddison, Akanji and Alexis MacCallister...
German attack is impressive, with Havertz, Musiala and Wirtz. Plus Gnabry and Sane, if they can stay healthy. Arsenal's famous defense couldn't do anything to stop these two
Yet. We shall all see how fast Gabi & Saliba have evolved in the Allianz Arena, with Partey & Rice in front of them. The German pair will be dealt with tactically by the collective defensive movements, in foresight. Arteta we trust
@@Kitofthearts You trust a manager who's won nothing in 4 years after spending 700m???
Gabby and saliba the wrong way round geezer 🙃
We?
Ya but everybody needs some rest. Rest him and Jesus at front. 🙏
Aged well
Basically, a better Scott McTominay
isn't that similar to what bellingham does
At Chelsea he was never scrutinised as actually rubbish just distinctly average which he still is. He just plays for a better team now but nothing about his game is that impressive still and Arsenal could still very easily upgrade him
Dave I think it’s time you oil up
He struggled last night I noticed he tends to struggle against teams who have good wing backs as he drifts into those spaces last night he has full back opponents who were ready for his movement
He won the ball for the 1st goal and created the chance for Ben white
Nonsense. He was quite okay, pressed, created chances and was a menace but unfortunately we gave away two sloppy goals and lost all control.
@@jamaicansonnets1560 that’s your opinion I have mine .. Calling my point nonsense is where the discussion stops .. as you have turned it personal .. grow up .. use the English language better ..
@@jamaicansonnets1560 but unfortunately our 'best 2 CBs in the world" lost all control and gave away two sloppy goals and 330k pw Kai Havertz done nothing for 75 mins so rightfully got subbed
@@snipedotgenius He probably has no idea where England actually is without Googling it
No 9
Firmino 2.0
His best position is his intelligence
Trossard in the EPL has played 900 min less than Havertz and he essentially has same number of goals : Havertz has 1 more goal because of penalty,and 4 more assists.Every thing described in video that Havertz provides is not anything Trossard could not do if given the minutes so i do not understand why Havertz is thought of as special. Harvertz is ok as a player, but because he was billed as the next great thing people cannot let go of their original evaluation of him , and over sell his ability. This happens a lot with 1st rounders in the NFL.
Trossard is not a raumdeuter and does not possess the footballing intelligence of one, at least not yet. One thing Dave didn't really emphasise was Havertz's aerial prowess (he wins an insane amount of aerial duels). Also Trossard operates better as an inside forward/LW; Havertz has never played as a LW for Arsenal, and operates best as a false 9. They're just completely different players; it's more about tactics than G/A numbers.
It's not all about goalsman
Listen I love Trossard but I really doubt he's going to be topping aerial duels like Havertz has been any time soon, the guy's about 5'7 😂
Like if you miss statmandave clips!!!!
Dave you are way too late on the Kai issue. The whole world has seen the data and talked it through weeks ago
Hi Brian. Thanks for the heads up. 👌
Were you at the Bayern game on Tuesday?
Arteta got it right unfortunately 😅
Best player in the world all rounder he can do it all? Who thinks I’m right?
Let me help in summarizing. Kai havertz was brought as a replacement for Xhaka. Xhaka in 2022-23 bottle season had a advance role and saw quite a few chances and goals come his way. Kai was brought for that. But in the initial games of the season, it didn't work. Kai has something extra over Xhaka. Where kai lacks in long pass and defend he excels in speed, strength, and attacking play than Xhaka. Which is why arteta saw him as a step up from Xhaka. But arteta decided to test kai as a cf, having played there for Chelsea, having ariel dominance. It worked. He provides more strength and pass success vs Jesus and Nketiah, has a more creative mind and again, a ariel threat. Arsenal most dangerous players in terms of goals are the wingers, and odegaard. Kai as cf means he can play them in, draw def away from them, and provide a end point for crosses.
Havertz is a space invader, best in europe and devastating arrnt words id describe him as, the guy cant even finish his dinner nevermind an attack 😂
Edit: i will agree hes getting better if the bar was any lower though it would have to be rebuilt underground. And also ur smoking some laced stuff if u think hes tha impirtant theres about 13 players higher than him on the team.
hes nothing special
Overrated player doing exactly what he was doing at Chelsea. The Arsenal fans gassing him up rn are the same fans who crucified him for playing the exact same way his first few years in the league. Biased and hypocritical
Correct!!!!
He's already got more goals & assists than any season at Chelsea & that's with him playing in midfield half the season & settling into a new team. So, no.
@@Amberle73Lol, he's level on goals scored with Luton Towns Clinton Morris..

If Kai could get that Wilshere level of commitment in his play, he would take his game to the next level. I'd want to see him bait defenders and end up in a 50/50. He's got the skill to recover and take on the next defender/shot.
