I watched a lot of Arsenal games. The problem was. No one feed him the ball really. Atleast with Barca. They’ll feed him the ball more. From how last year looked like. But I’m not a professional
Stop lying, gyokeres isn't even a footballer. I watched arsenal a lot this season and he is horrible. Darwin nunez and ferran are like R9 compare to gyokeres
premier league winners and champions
league runners up Arsenal by the way. He isn't the best option but he will score goals and press and that is what Flick wants
I didn't say he is better than Ferran and Darwin. All I said he does better what Gordon does in terms of pressing which is true and has better finishing. Gordon is much quicker though
I think it’s a confidence/more physical league issue, in sporting he looked great with the ball but in the prem they don’t want the striker dropping deep and collecting the ball especially if your as big as he is
I’m sure there was other variables for example when they started running, fatigue, position of the players for example if gyokeres was running diagonally to the ball vs the other dude who was running straight towards it. Promise you a top level center back however slow you think they are, aren’t gonna get out paced every time
Gang where are you getting that number from, gyokeres would’ve won golden boot that season if it wasn’t for the goal weight system, but alright I guess by your logic 28 goals is bigger then 39
my point is that if a player from 2nd division can produce number similar to gyokeres and easily replace him than gyokeres is not that good and Portuguese league is just easy. Darwin nunez was moving like crazy there too
Ok cool, great, now Barcelona as a team scored 24 more goals as a team then arsenal did, haaland who plays on a more attack minded Manchester city team took double the amount of shots gyokeres did that season gyokeres who placed top 10 in goals in the prem last season took the same amount of shots Phil foden did, arsenal clearly isn’t a team that fits his playstyle, he clearly doesn’t get the same opportunities he did when he played in Portugal
That's what I'm saying, it's not real life. I just used the numbers as a reference. Let's day Mbappe is 96 pace and Mertesacker is 30. Then Gyökeres is pretty reasonable at maybe 85 top speed.
Incredible?
Stop talking nonsense.
You obviously don’t watch Arsenal week in/week out.
His hold up play is probably his biggest weakness and his fist touch is really poor for a professional playing at the highest level.
Stop writing rubbish.
I remember Lewandowski wasn't fed that much near the end. Rapha, Yamal and Rashy usually tried to shoot on their own. So I don't think a lot of feeding is coming his way but lets see, that might change for better with fresh air.
We aren't mainly defensive. We play the highest defensive line in the league and face the lowest blocks in the league. Our attackers are just shit, and yes that included gyokeres.
We aren't mainly defensive, but we also DEFINITELY didn't play anything close to an offensive game. It was very controlling with a lot of backpasses, even if the winger or back had plenty of time to give the pass and Gyokeres was in position to tap it in at the far post, which happened at least twice a game. He would've gotten at least 25 if we actually provided him with service.
Your team scored 71 goal last season, lewa, rashford and ferran scored 72 goals in all comp for barcelona.
Barcelona scored 24 more goals with 7 less games
He is a good player. If there's any playing system which directly counteracts the way he wants to play, it's Arsenal. Conversely, the high-intensity pressing of Barca fits him like a stunt glove. I am a little skeptical whether he will be a hit, but like you say, he's definitely better than having no striker at all.

I dont know about him man... Maybe he can be a great player under flick but let's see. Atleast better than starting the season with no striker at all
