Arsenal are a far better team without Kai Havertz and the German must be dropped, according to former Chelsea midfielder Craig Burley. The pundit has also hit out at Mikel Arteta for his latest comments on the \u00a365million summer signing.<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal should have won against Fulham.<\/h3>\n

Havertz has had an underwhelming start to his Arsenal career. He has started each of the Gunners’ three Premier League matches but has been unable to win over many fans who questioned his arrival.<\/p>\n

Arteta has mostly used Havertz in a midfield role as he attempts a new-look formation this season. Arsenal won their first two matches against Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace as Havertz got used to his new surroundings.<\/p>\n

He was often ineffective in those two games but escaped some criticism because Arsenal were victorious. Saturday, however, saw the Gunners drop points at home to Fulham and the finger has been pointed at Havertz.<\/p>\n

Arteta defended his player after the match, insisting he just needs a goal to get him on his way. The Spaniard said: “I think he’s done already really good things. Today it was tough in certain moments.<\/p>\n

“He got in great areas and the ball didn’t arrive. In a lot of situations, he should have scored a lot of goals already this season. That’s the thing that is missing there.”<\/p>\n

However, Burley has hit out at Arteta’s comments in a fiery rant on ESPN FC. The Scot says there is no way Havertz makes Arsenal’s best XI and reckons he is the same player who struggled in his latter days at Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Burley said: “We could just sit here and say that’s massaging a player who’s low in confidence, because he still is. This talk from Arteta is nonsense.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s one in the second half where the crowd got on his back, somebody played a beautiful little ball into him, sixty yards from goal, he had 10 yards to turn because no defender had got tight to him and he passed it back 15 yards and gave it away.<\/p>\n

“There is nothing in this Kai Havertz performance or performances that suggest that this player is any different, not one iota from the player who was performing for Chelsea. The only difference is he’s wearing a red shirt.<\/p>\n

Arsenal\u2019s new kit for 2023\/2024 is a stylish twist on a classic as it reinvents that mid-1990s vibe. A truly modern-looking shirt with a homage to the past, the Nike kit also includes a nod to the club\u2019s iconic Invincible\u2019s side in the finer details while catching the eye with the lightning bolt motif<\/p>\n

“He’s still got no confidence, he’s still not influencing games, he’s still giving the ball away, he’s still not getting in the right positions at the right time. He made one or two good runs in the first half.<\/p>\n

“But at the moment, there’s a \u00a370m burning problem in Arteta’s pocket, because, in my opinion, he’s going to have to drop him. Arsenal are a better side without him in the team.<\/p>\n

“And [Leandro] Trossard. But Havertz is the elephant in the room because he was big money and he arrived from Chelsea. If Mikel Arteta wants to put Arsenal’s best XI on the field next time they play, it involves Kai Havertz being on the bench.<\/p>\n

“He’s not gained his confidence back, we’ve not seen anything different from him. In fact he’s a passenger at the moment in this Arsenal side.”<\/p>\n
