In an interview with the manager for Arsenal FC, Mikel Arteta, he said:
“They are ‘settling in’ and we have to find that fluidity within the game and those relationship. That is something you can’t predict as a coach what is going to work, but sometimes whether it’s on the pitch or sitting at the table, they find that chemistry between them.

“Especially in the first half, with the way we started, we were a bit suffocated with the weather and we started to give too many simple balls away, and we could not really control the game.
“But it was true that we were exceptional in both boxes today; every time we were in the final third in good positions, we put the ball in the back of the net, and we have to defend moments in those transitions when we give the ball away. I think we defended really well as well.
“Havertz gives us something very different with his quality and size. When you have to beat the press for example and use him as a target man.
“So, we will see – for now, he is playing in the attacking-midfield position, but I am sure throughout the season and throughout games as well, we’re going to have the options to play him in different positions.”
