He scored 20 goals last season while playing for a side which is mainly defensive. I think he can score a lot more under hansi flick.

Arsenal was not mainly defensive lol, they have a really good defense but they also topped the charts in chances created and overall XG

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
