It's time to utilise Kai Havertz
Chelsea lack creativity and finesse - Kai gives you creativity and finesse
It was evident whilst watching Chelsea draw with Manchester United yesterday, that they lack finesse and creativity. We’ve heard that before right?
Read my full thoughts on the game here.
It’s been something Chelsea have lacked for a couple of seasons, it was something that Frank Lampard commented on a few times, and Thomas Tuchel has already been speaking about lacking something in the final 20 yards.
It’s clear, and that is why the club went out and signed players like Kai Havertz in the summer. And that is why it is now time to put our faith in and utilise the German international, because he could be the difference maker.
He has been nursing an injury, so up until now I understand why he is not being used much by Tuchel, that is a wise move.
But if he is fully fit, and he will be because he is on the bench every game, then now is the time to use him, and not only use him, but build the attack around him.
Play him as a centre forward, or as a ten in this system and we will see him thrive.
Chelsea have been lacking a player to try that difficult through ball, break the lines, dribble with the ball in the final third, Havertz can add that.
I think the only way we can see the best of Havertz, is if he is now given a sustained run in the team, and personally I’d put him at centre forward.
It’s time.
So if we start to play Kai as the central forward, who are the two tens behind him? Mount surely is one and who else? Do we go for the German link up or get Pulisic to go at defenders and play those 1v1 's? imo Pulisic would complement Chillwell and Alonso complements Timo.
