Nketiah would have converted half of those chances that fell to Havertz. I don't understand how you can play him as a 9 when he's rarely played there all season and expect him to be clinical. It is also obvious now that Rice is more impactful as an 8. Jorginho has surprising played a solid game. Saliba is also doing quite well. I'm worried about White. There needs to be an impact player coming in around 60th minute mark or else this match has draw written all over it.

Jorginho deservs more credit as a player lol, he's a great player. Not a big fan of Kai as 9 either, he's much better as that second striker in the LCM. Disagree that Rice is better as an 8 though — he's not good enough in the attack compared to our other options, he's better defensively though. And he's quite arguably our best 6, and certainly is while Partey is out.
