"I’m just not feeling that" - Ian Wright unhappy with key Arsenal star's positioning in recent fixtures
Ian Wright has stated that he is not happy with the position Kai Haverz is taking on the pitch for Arsenal. He wants the German to be a back-the-goal striker and the focal point in attacks.
Speaking on his Wrighty's House podcast, the Gunners legend claimed that Havertz being played in any other position is not good for the team. He believes the former Chelsea man cannot play well in the role Mikel Arteta wants him in now due to the absence of Marin Odegaard.
Wright said:
"You know what I didn't like? I didn't like, I want to have Havertz back where he is. I want to have Havertz back up there being that focal point and the nuisance and the link and the fact that he's in and around the box a lot more. He's playing out there, out of that false nine. I'm just not feeling that.
"Moreno is still trying to find his feet. We seem very robust and strong in there, but the creativity, his creativity."
Kai Havertz has scored four goals in 10 appearances in the Premier League this season. He has notched two more in the Carabao Cup, while scoring once in the UEFA Champions League.
Gary Neville still thinks Arsenal can win the Premier League title
Gary Neville has backed Arsenal to win the Premier League this season despite their slow start. He claimed that the Gunners will bounce back and look like they can go all the way this year. He said:
"Look, I don't sit here right now thinking Arsenal are out of the league title, that this is them sort of if you like going back. I think, it might be naive, I might be sat here in three months saying I was completely wrong, this might be what this teams need to actually to be fair go on a massive run and go and win a league title.
"Because they will be looking at Liverpool and they will be looking at City and thinking, not quite perfect, they are not what they were three or four years ago. This is a big chance. What are we doing? Wake up. Arsenal, at this moment in time, there are big questions being asked, but I don't rule them out of winning the title. I still have them winning the title. And this might be what they need to win the title."
Arsenal face Chelsea this weekend in the Premier League. The two sides are level on points right now and are sitting fifth and fourth in the league table, respectively.
