There was so much to enjoy. The back four hasn\u2019t changed but in midfield with Havertz, is he an upgrade on Xhaka?\u00a0Right now I would say no.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I think (they miss Xhaka). He had that quality, he gave you that bit of positional sense. He\u2019d get it onto his left foot, he\u2019d create balls into Jesus and he just gave you that bit of guile which is something they\u2019re not possessing.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Havertz &#8211; who was signed from Chelsea for \u00a365m in the summer\u00a0&#8211; has had a mixed start to life at the Emirates.<\/p>\n<p>After initially struggling, he scored a vital winner against Brentford last month, while he also netted in the 4-3 comeback victory over Luton on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, Redknapp felt Havertz has negatively impacted upon the Gunners&#8217; team structure.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8216;<span>Havertz has had a good little run this last few weeks. But they&#8217;ve not quite got that balance they had last year where they would dominate teams for 90 minutes.&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>This is something Arteta even touched upon in the build-up to the game as he explained: &#8216;He (Xhaka) was a huge player for us.
