Viktor Gyokeres: Gyokin All Over The World

[Tnegs]

What are his standout moments this season? All I can think of is the goal against Leeds where he beat a couple of players to score. Running around, pressing and chasing the ball like my Labrador does with the frisbee in the park isn’t what he was signed to do and we have plenty of other players who can do that.

Liverpool fans are saying they played 3 at the back with, Konate, Gyokeres and VVD ffs.

Arsenal Mania hating its own players again. Group therapy rates would be through the roof with you lot.

Yeah, but why would we care that Wirtz and Isak have been poor for Liverpool? Not being the worst signing of the season (so far) is an exceptionally low standard to hold any Arsenal player to. And let's be honest both of those two are better footballers than Gyokores overall.

You've got to judge Gyokores on his own merits, and he's been underwhelming at best so far.

Low achiever thoughts.

Sesko would have been at the bare minimum as good as Gyok (I think he'd have been significantly better), and has massive scope to improve.

We will see how this all pans out at the end of the season, if we achieve our objectives it will be largely down to the strength of the squad as a collective, and no one could then complain.

In the end Sesko will be better. Think we knew that. Gyok was for now, hence the disappointment.

Yeah I think Sesko would be frustating similar to Havertz, probably more to begin with, but at least fit more to Arteta system than Gyo has shown recently.

We are barely getting a tune out of Gyo and Ode after he came back from injuries.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

I felt like we discussed a lot that Ode would enjoy playing with Gyo a lot more than our other strikers but so far we barely seen anything that suggest that.

I agree. Liverpool are out of ideas.

He tried a couple of long balls to Gyok that were a good idea but you have to try those things in volume. I'm not absolving Gyok of his share of blame for his struggles but I also feel that because we haven't had a traditional 9 in so long, people have forgotten the volume of service that you would typically expect one to get and that means trying to find them with the kind of delivery they like more than once or twice.

We make very sporadic efforts in each match to play the kind of balls that he can do something with and when they don't work, we go away from it. That's not how you make this sort of player work. You have to be consistent. I think his injury was really awful timing for him personally. Thankfully the club was able to continue doing well with Merino but I feel that they were just figuring out how to play with him and vice versa and now it feels that it's back to square one. It's not a coincidence that his best games have been the games he's had the most touches in.

In most of these categories, Gyok had more service than Haaland. There are no more excuses.

Yeah. I get why people didn’t want him, being too similar to Havertz and his youth were valid drawbacks.

But hes at the very least taller, faster and has a better touch/link up play than Gyok. That was evident even last summer.

In an Arteta team as a center forward, you just have to have some basic back to goal/link up skill. It’s a prerequisite.

 

[GDeep™]

It’s between him and Park.

Guys like Sanogo and Parl weren’t starters.

It’s between Havertz and Gyokores for worst starters. Both signed for big money.

Under Wenger the starters were Bergkamp, Wright, Kanu, Anelka, Henry, RvP, Ade, Giroud, Auba, Laca.

The rest were squaddies, kids etc - Bendtner, Chatmakh etc.

To be fair, when you watch the matches you see clear cut chances for Erling, I don’t see that for Gyok.

You can never say Gyok is missing chances - the way Havertz was last season. Havertz stock has gone up this season, but let’s not forget he’s not clinical.

When I see Haaland play, everytime he gets the ball I have the feeling he will score. I don't feel the same when Gyokeres receives the ball.

I'm just focusing on service. It's a myth that he doesn't get service.

You have to put yourself in a position to miss chances. Jesus comes on and misses more chances in 5 minutes than Gyokeres does over the season.

Missing chances would be an improvement from where he is right now.

They spent 300 million. This is beyond simplicisic way of looking at it.

 

[ragnarock]

For me it’s his positioning in the box that’s the major issue. Never seems to be in the right spot to receive a cutback or poach a random rebound.

Could be an communication issues but to me looks more like a lack of understanding.

This. Their attacking midfielders are so good with the ball at their feet it's a pre req for Pep. They are so direct with their balls. Ode shows it in perfect scenarios where he doesn't have to dribble past a cone and Eze hasn't had the ball much in those areas to show if he can. I don't think that's the type of player Eze is so maybe unfair to ask that but Ode lol he's the only one who half ass does it.

Like I said when it comes off for him he is glazed to heavy hell but when he has his tough stretch his people are nowhere to be seen.

Can't force a player to be something their not that goes for VG and MO. Its up to the manager and the 33 coaches to help develop new ways to get him involved. Not just set pieces.
