Arteta making Kai excuses and blaming his teammates for making him look bad is a new one:

'He can play in so many different roles and play it so well,’ said Arteta in praise of Havertz’s versatility ahead of Sunday’s showdown against Manchester United.

He has a football brain, how he understands when to move, how to move, when to stay, when to run. It’s phenomenal. At the moment, it’s true that he’s played with three different people behind him (Jurrien Timber, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Jakub Kiwior) and they are the ones that have to make him good.

These guys depend on the ones in the back. I was a midfielder, if, the two central defenders are like this [with their eyes closed] and they give you the ball all the time to the wrong foot at the right time with the wrong pace. Disaster, I look bad. If I have good players behind me they make life much easier. So let’s do that.’

Arteta doing all he can to defend his £65 million signing. I hope he becomes good for his and Arteta's own sake
