Havertz wasn’t the worst player on the pitch last night, so it’s unfair to blame him for his high price tag.- Legend of Manchester United According to Patrick Evra, the £195k-per-week Arsenal player who let Mikel Arteta down by losing the ball 20 times against Liverpool was worse than Havertz. Not Nelson, not Ben White, and not Jakub Kiwior
Manchester United legend Patrick Evra recently commented on the undue blame placed on Havertz due to his high price tag, indicating it’s unfair to single him out as the worst performer on the pitch. Instead, Evra points fingers at a £195,000-per-week Arsenal player who lost possession 20 times against Liverpool, suggesting that this player let Mikel Arteta down more than Havertz did. He explicitly mentions that it’s neither Jakub Kiwior, Ben White, nor Nelson who fell short in the recent match.
Arsenal’s recent struggles in finding the back of the net have deeply disappointed fans, particularly concerning the team’s strikers. Their performance in the FA Cup against Liverpool was a bitter disappointment, resulting in a 2-0 defeat that compounds their series of unsatisfactory outcomes.
Mikel Arteta’s squad, grappling with a shortage of attacking firepower, is in dire need of reinforcements during this January transfer window. Their lackluster displays have persisted as a recurring issue, with just one win in their last seven matches across various competitions. Even in the encounter against Liverpool, despite having 18 opportunities, only five shots managed to hit the target, and they squandered what Sofascore categorized as ‘four big chances.’
