Some people just never learn.
What about the people who still think they?re both **** :wave:Quote:

Havertz WAS **** in his first half season with us, because he was playing in midfield. Where hs is ****.Quote:

Also, because Gyokeres is **** :-)
The use of Henry and Pires in this context is quite frankly laughable....
Tbf, Kai was playing GX's inside left role for the first half of the season. He was getting stick because he wasn't scoring or making goals, but I did point out at the time that if you compare him with what GX was doing, he wasn't doing any worse.Quote:

But I also think that when you look how well we played with Kai that half season after Dubia, and also how well we played with MnM last year and this, our team does seem to suit a very creative false nine. And that's what Kai is. He may not have the body strength of ViK, but he's got the height, he's good in the air and scores headers, he can finish when put clean through and he links up really well with the rest of the attack.
It's not that Vik {or Jeez} are sh1t, it's just I think a fully fit and firing Kai is our best option.
I also think that is we start Kai and need a goal, bringing on Vik for Zubi with Dec at DM and having Kai at inside left or playing 4-4-2 with both up top gives us another great option. If playing against a parked bus, Dec and Odin as a 2-man MF's fine and Vik and Kai might work well together.
Or like NU, take off a FB for Vik and play 3-3-4.

And it is fine. I don't want one guy scoring all the goals. The most important thing is that we don't have a centre forward who is missing chances constantly.
In short, I agree. I want Haveetz back. Not because other people are **** but because he gives us a bit extra.
Maybe it's the strikers rather than the set-up. Presumably if Haaland played for us he would still be (and we would still want him to be) Haaland?Quote:

Have a big tv for the first time in our lives. Stream on it. Ganpati bless.
He was a passenger for the most part. But he wasnt the Havertz we have now. He looked a shell of a footballer after a bad time at Chelsea.Quote:

Well that might have been your view but if so it was very much at odds with the most common narrative on here. Lanky streak of piss, comes to mindQuote:

I guess the point i was making is that the people who knew Henry and Pires were great players even at the start pretty much all think Gyokeres looks a bit ****. Because he does.Quote:
