Kai Havertz will be a slow burn

Again, the German didn’t do himself any favors against United, and while his goal against the All-Stars was well taken, overall, he didn’t have much impact at all in his two games.

Now it is only preseason, so we are holding fire on him, but we have to remember it will be a teething process for the German.

With three games to go before the season opener, hopefully, we see him get integrated more into the team and produce some better performances.
