    Can you add Partey into the mix? I’m intrigued to see how he compares against odegaard and rice.

    I question the accuracy of these stats. Mixing per 90 with total stats is also very confusing.

    Either way Rice is a beast and is carrying the rest of our midfield. Odegaard has been very underwhelming this season, but somehow he is escaping criticism. I suppose because Havertz is getting all the hate. Both of them aren’t offering enough at the moment.

      Odegaard is a victim of his own high standards rn. He’s offering a lot in a vacuum but compared to the highs he’s hit then ya I guess you can say he’s underachieving

    That progressive passing stat is sad from Havertz. I’ve seen him improve a lot over the past few games, but that part of his game really needs to improve. He needs more dawg in him.

    Working at taking the ball on the half turn and driving/passing the ball forward would be great to see from Havertz

      my take is that if you are making runs, then you won’t be carrying the ball. It doesn’t seem like Arteta wants an 8 who can carry the ball forward. He wants runners, he even had Xhaka making runs to the touchline last year. Even Vieira has made an effort to make runs (his penalty and his assist against fulham)

        Just my observation but even when he has space to turn and run he sets the ball off to someone behind like a striker would. It slows down and even nullifies certain attacking situations.

    We are so blessed to have both Rice and Partey.

    We are living in a dream midfield scenario, I’m feeling so confident about getting our hands on some silverware this season.

    Key pass is the last pass before a shot so according to this we have had at least 150 shots in 8 games…,
