It was a very poor Havertz cross for sure. Lack of awareness of the situation.
Should have been a goal looking at the numbers we had there.

More importantly, itās on his right foot. Havertz, in these situations is hit or miss even on his left so canāt expect much when itās on his right.
With the exception of the above, it was a good overall performance from him. Late on, he drifted over to the right side to combine with Saka/White/Ć and he was creating havoc.
Offering to be the link on most occasions, connecting the play well. Not his best performance but certainly not bad.

Was a bad run from timber as well, went all the way inside and closed that area even more.
Terrible ball from havertz, anything lifted wouldāve been fine but he wasnāt helped by the movement of saka/timber.
Maybe I need to watch the game back but i thought it was one of his worst CF performances if not worst (and I love Havertz as CF)
Checking the stats and it reaffirms he was a non entity really.
0 chances created, 0 shots on target, 0 passes into the final third, 0/2 take ons completed, 2/16 duels won (yes thats correct).
One of his grittier, determined performances I would say. He definitely missed a sitter, maybe two? and it looked like he knew that as well.
To me, it was a weird game where Villa tried to nullify all aspects of our game and we looked patient to not push things, which felt like we had the handbrake on at times. Some notable performers in Raya, Saliba, Trossard and Saka with the rest middling imo.
I thought he created a great chance for Ode/Saka when he had his back to goal 
- perhaps they lost it in possession afterwards. He definitely made a few passes into the final third ā unless thatās calculated as only inside the box 
Surprised at how many duels he lost; thatās the worst stat of the lot imho.

Maybe but what stats had RvP at age of 25?
You donāt have to compare just stats. Just look at both players man. Thi isnāt even up for debate

Havertz is a decent attacking player but, although RVP was often injured, he was one of the best strikers in Europe.
Saka is a better goal scorer than Havertz, and heās a winger.

Thank you! Itās been added!
A healthy RvP but how often was that the case throughout his career?
He had one good season for us and one good season for United.
Sure, better profile but he was a constant sick note.
Van Persie all day. Kai is quality but RvP was special.
