‘He shouldn’t be starting games for Arsenal,He kills Arsenal attacks, Arteta will not know this now till they bottle the league again’: Tim Sherwood suggests 24-year-old shouldn’t be starting for Arsenal again after what happened against WestHam

With Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus sidelined due to injury, Mikel Arteta keeps switching up his nine.

Since the former Manchester City player joined the team, it has become a recurring theme, but it has also given others a chance to start with that lineup.

In addition, Kai Havertz—who has drawn criticism since making the high-profile switch from Chelsea to Arsenal in the summer—has been used in the much-discussed number nine position.

However, Tim Sherwood told Premier League Productions on December 02, 24 at 5:10 p.m., that the 24-year-old just “shouldn’t be starting in that position” because “he hasn’t done it” when given the opportunity.

In the Premier League, Arsenal defeated Liverpool 3-1 with the German playing in the center of the field. His one-on-one opportunity, which Alisson Becker turned away, contributed to the first goal when Bukayo Saka scored off the rebound.

The adaptable attacker has maintained his spot in the starting lineup ever since, but Leandro Trossard took over on Sunday.

And to the utmost delight on the faces of all Arsenal supporters, they destroyed West Ham United 6-0, with Leandro Trossard scoring a goal.

Tim Sherwood believes Kai Havertz isn’t the solution because he “drifts through games” when playing up front.

With regard to Havertz as a number nine, Sherwood remarked, “Havertz, for me, hasn’t done it when he has played there.” “I believe he is capable. He wanders around the games.

Kai Havertz’s Premier League victory
Havertz’s transfer caused a lot of controversy even before he could set foot in the Emirates, with many people wondering why he was signed.

Ultimately, the answer to everything can only be discovered when the last ball is kicked of the season.

If Arsenal and Havertz are raising the Premier League trophy, then that will be sufficient to silence his detractors for good.

However, similar to Arteta’s call on David Raya and Aaron Ramsdale, he will face criticism for some of his transfer choices if the Gunners lose again.
