Carragher questions Kai Havertz’s Chelsea position and reckons he doesn’t fit Lampard’s system after Liverpool clash
Sep 21, 2020
JAMIE CARRAGHER has questioned whether Kai Havertz is a good signing for Chelsea.
The 21-year-old German attacker arrived for £70million from Bayer Leverkusen this summer.
However, after a combination of a below-par display and Andreas Christensen’s sending-off moments earlier, he was subbed off at half time in yesterday’s 2-0 home defeat to Liverpool .
Despite arriving with a glowing reputation after playing through the middle in the Bundesliga, he has been deployed down the right for the Blues.
And ex-Liverpool defender Carragher does not seem to think he fits into Chelsea ’s system.
Speaking on Sky Sports, he said after the Stamford Bridge loss: “I do look and think, ‘where does Havertz play? Where does he fit into a 4-3-3?’
“He almost looks like a No 10 and we don't see them as much in football now. Where he played today, I don't think that suited Chelsea.”
Sadio Mane scored either side of the break on Sunday to seal the win for the champions.
Some fans criticised the decision to axe Havertz , and fellow Sky pundit Jamie Redknapp called for the attacker to be given more time to settle in West London.
He said: “You've got to give Havertz time. We have to be careful. We're judging a player. You've got (Christian) Pulisic and (Hakim) Ziyech to come in (as well).
“I think Havertz is a No 10. With the three they played in midfield today, you need a bit more craft.
