Thomas Tuchel given ultimate Kai Havertz dilemma with Chelsea summer transfer window in doubt
At the start of the season, many Chelsea fanbase believed that Kai Havertz and Romelu Lukaku would make the perfect partnership. We dreamed of the potential link-up for the pair. Well, it turns out that they actually just make perfect competition.
Havertz has been on fire since being called upon as Thomas Tuchel’s starting striker. At first, I assumed that it could just be a blip of good form, but now it seems as though the German is up for the task.
Chelsea beat Norwich 3-1 last night, and a win was necessary for more than just the three points.
It has been a struggle choosing which forward to put your faith in this season. The choices between Havertz, Timo Werner, and Lukaku haven’t been easy ones. All the forwards have had their time in the limelight. With that being said, they have also had moments to forget.
We are yet to see our forwards have a long string of exceptional performances. Havertz is the closest we've seen as he has now scored five goals in his last six matches.
Chelsea travelled to Carrow Road and returned with three points and full support from their fans. During a difficult situation within the club, it was hard for fans to find much to smile about, but goals from Mason Mount, Trevoh Chalobah, and Havertz managed to do the job.
The Blues were 2-0 up at halftime, only to concede to a Teemu Pukki penalty. It looked destined for the match to end in a 2-2 draw. It has been the narrative of Chelsea's story for most of the season. Late equalisers to punish our chances missed. Luckily Havertz was able to step up and seal the deal.
When he starts for the Blues, the link-up play in the attack has a much more fluid feel to it. Whereas, it doesn't quite blend correctly when Romelu Lukaku is up there with him.
