Actually, that was one of his better performances 
Viktor Gyökeres - Arsenal Player
- Thread starter Paolo Di Canio
- Start date
Not great, but had the beating of Martinez today.
Arsenal should cut their losses. Glad I was wrong about him.

Very glad we didn't get him, but he was actually a bit of a handful today against Lisandro. Which sort of adds to the theory that he's only a threat when he has big physical advantages over his opponents.
He's a pestilence in the box, but clearly EPL is one level too high, Martinez was struggling but still contained him. Arteta probably like him for that havoc he brings to their weird box shenanigans.
Was happy seeing he was about to come in the game.
Thank God he didn't sign for us
What is he good at? How the feck did he score 20 million goals in Portugal?
That Gyokeres fella is a cod, Bill!
They should bin him and go for Mateta.
He just needs to take the 5 kgs of lead out of each boot.
This
This actually isn’t a bad idea. They need this title and he would be the nuisance and physical presence they need.
The best thing anyone can say about him is that he has nice hair. Frankly I only think bald people are saying that.
Imagine if he’s on a Goku like training regimen, and he takes the lead out at some point and is Van Basten regen.
Would be a great plot twist.
You're just describing his career in Italy once Arsenal had enough
So happy about it.
I was so happy when he came on! He is so trash is actually frightening.
For some reason Arsenal keep buzzing off his defensive stats!

Now he cant score against us, time to state the blatantly obvious.
He is absolute crap.
He is absolute crap.
We got very lucky that he wanted Arsenal
When he went though, and I think the ref blew up due to a foul on Martinez - but he shot and he was going out for a throw.
He’s absolutely bobbins.
No Arsenal attackers are scoring, i'm sure he isn't all that but this team doesn't do much to help attacking players succeed either
Gyokeres isn't exactly a flop, but he's knocking on the door.
Shite footballer. He will be gone in the summer
Got as many PL goals from open play as Dorgu.
That’s the one. Just awful.
I honestly thought it was a great save at the time.
Same, my brain couldn’t process how it couldn’t be a save.
Really hope they don’t. Mateta would be huge for them.
Mateta is a poor finisher
So is this guy
Is he good on corners?
as others have said - I am glad I got this guy wrong; I really wanted him.
I often get things wrong but something always felt off with this guy. As with Amorim, all achievements in Portugal can be totally disregard when it comes to top level football.
Mental he clears it away from goal. He had a 1v1 and came closer to scoring past his own keeper than ours. I bet Raya dived for that off camera.
Bobbins - this is supposed to be his peak as well
I actually think there's a player there... but he lacks confidence and seems a little stunned at the level of expectation.
He made a positive difference for them today. But, he seems like he is trying to adapt to the Premiership.
I can imagine someone like Emery at Villa, getting something out of him.

I doubt his level is for Aston Villa, and it’s not like Emery has Villa playing champagne attacking football. Their attacking play can be very dull too. Someone with years of PL experience like Watkins could get a scoring drought. Gyokeres has no chance.
I don’t see him outside any PL teams bar City who tried to pass into goal, playing mostly on the ground.
It's a terrible idea. He's another Lukaku. That finish today, fk me. Went clean through on goal, keeper stuck on his line, masses of space either side to just shoot about 70% into the net, pick your spot... he just faffed and dragged it badly, straight at the keeper. Awful striking.
Mind you, he'll bulldoze defenders back towards their own line at corners, like an American Football scrimmage fat lad, so Arsenal could find a use for him.
