KAI HAVERTZ SCORES AGAIN! | Arsenal 2-0 Wolves Reaction

Okay, Osaka Sizzler to start the season. Kai Havertz proves clinical again and scores again. We keep a clean sheet. Most importantly, we got three points. Arsenal 2, Wolves 0, and we kicked off the Premier League season in fantastic fashion. Now, as I just said, we won two goals to nil. We kept a clean sheet. We got three points. Now, I don't know about anybody else, but I don't think our pre-season preparations has been perfect. There's no slight on the players or Mikel Arteta. It's been a different kind of pre-season owing to the Copa America, to the Euros, and a couple of moving parts. So, I wasn't expecting us to be perfect. As we know, for me personally, I don't think you're going to see the building blocks that Arteta or any team has put into place in the summer months and to at least five to ten games. That being said, we all know our first five games. Obviously, we beat Wolves. We've got Villa coming up. We've got Brighton. We've got Spurs. We've got City. Every point counts when you're fighting I don't expect us to be perfect. I think for everybody that watched the game, you would have seen over the course of 90 minutes, there were some periods that were better than others. I think the second half, Mikel Arteta would probably be a bit disappointed with, if I'm completely honest with you, and he would demand a bit better. You did see a couple of players look fitter than others. A couple of players looked like once we got to the hour mark, they were struggling. It wasn't all plain sailing. Wolves did have a couple of chances in the game, but goals change games at any time. Big up David Raya for being equal to what was ever presented with him. I think Zinchenko was kind of the same, if I'm honest with you, of what we know of him. Other than that, I think it was a decent performance. I think after the hour mark or thereabouts, Thomas Partey really fell off the cliff. I think Declan Rice, you could see he's not fully fit. Big up Makaio Saka for a goal and assist, and shout out to Kai Havertz for doing the same. To be fair, Partey was involved in Saka's goal, and Saka's goal came at a vital time because I don't think we were clinical enough in the final third. I think we had six shots on target. We scored two, which is great, but I think we can do better. I think if that game happened towards the end of last season, if that game happened five, ten games into the Premier League, I would be a bit harsher of such people. Before I forget, big up Timba. I think in his minutes, he looked fairly sharp as well, and to have Timba, Californi, Tomiasi went back, Benjamin White. Obviously, we've got some fantastic defensive options. I wonder why Kivija weren't in the squad for that matter, if I'm honest. Could there be talk of a move impending, or was it purely a sporting decision because Arteta doesn't deem at this moment in time he's better than the options we currently saw? I did think in the first half, as I said in a couple of other videos, I think our pressing was good initially. I think the vast majority of the first 15, 20 minutes was all us. Wolves were living on the counter-attack, but they were respecting us. They were trying to be rigid, and it became clear in the game that we might have to be a bit patient in terms of breaking them down and wait for opportunity. Credit to Wolves because they did well in that regard. It's always nice to score, and I think we scored in the best possible scenario when we did. Of course, for Kyle Saka's goal, when it did come, gave us a bit of breathing room and allowed us to have a sigh of relief 2-0. At that moment, it looked like a myth. I must admit, is it mascara or whatever? How you haven't been sent off, I don't know. I mean, you should have been sent off. Was he on the yellow? I'm sure he's on the yellow. He should have been given a second yellow for clamping someone, and I don't know why. I mean, it is carnival season fast approaching. Clearly, he's got a thing for Gabriel Jesus. I don't know why he pinched his arse, but he did in it, people, really and truly. So, yeah, three points. Pardon me. Three points. Far from perfect, but I don't think it was a terrible performance. We did what we needed to do, but Kyle Saka cutting off that right onto that left peg, that's what we want to see. I mean, he does it all the time. You imagine he's going to get 20 goal assist contributions and keep doing what he's doing, but he's got that inevitability about him. I am not comparing him to Iron Robin. He's got a long way to go before he can be mentioned in the same realm as Iron Robin, but he is becoming the Black Iron Robin. He's got that inevitability about him. It's like, yeah, we know he's tripled up, doubled up against, but when he gets onto that left peg, nobody can stop him, and he made that goal out of nothing, really. It was good build-up play. Pate found Kai Havertz. Saka bought a yard of space, smashed it to the near post. On another day, the Wolves keeper might think, yo, I shouldn't be beating from that sort of area. I don't care about that, and that's what we need, man, and that's what we need Saka to do. In terms of the context and what he gave us, probably not just him, but if you could do that five or so times across the season and give us breathing room, then fair enough, and I think when you read Mikel Ortega's post-match press conference and listen to what he said, I don't think he was happy in the second half, if I'm honest. First off, the pressing, I think initially the intensity was there. We stood up to be counted, and we definitely wanted to get a result, but it could have been better, but the most important thing is to start the season well, get three points, which we did, take the good and make it great, take the evident areas that need to be improved and do exactly such, and most importantly, keep it moving, and now the focus shifts to a tough game against Aston Villa at their place, and I want revenge. We owe it to Villa. They took, what, six points off us last season, and you'd imagine they wouldn't be in the Champions League again. We obviously know they've got Udo Emre, so yeah, man, all I can say is so far, so good. Three points in the bag. Apologies for a late review. That being said, let me know your thoughts.
