I did suggest that without Saka we'd be thus, but didn't imagine for a single minute, just how much we would miss him, even when playing ten men for an hour.
Its easy to pile on Havertz, because he missed goals that were easier to score, than miss.....but he isn't the big problem here, its far worse than that!

Now, this season, one of our main undoing has been low offensive productivity from the midfield. Last two seasons, we had seen ample goals contributions ( G+A) from Odegaard, Rice, Xhaka, but this season, due to injuries, exhaustion, resulting in lack of form , both have been below par ( Xhaka having left Arsenal altogether).
The full back injuries,both on left and right, has also left an unsettled backline. So, many factors have contributed to the current malaise.
I would say, Havertz continue in the CF position and we make some alterations in the middle by involving Zinchenko as LM, bring Tierney as LB, rotated w/Skelly, until we ride out this rough patch.
Hopefully the mgmt are working behind the curtains to bring in some players, at least,on temporary basis to bolster our depleted ranks.
By mid February we will start getting some of our long term absentees back to mount a challenge at whatever is left at that stage.
