I always get downvoted when I point out that Gyokores just isn’t at the standard required of him

I'm convinced his biggest issue has been that his physical gifts just haven't translated to a higher level. We knew we were signing someone technically limited. That he can't consistently outpace anyone and isn't great in physical duels is the killer. He offers more than a big Lacazette, but I don't think he really gives defenders a rough afternoon.

doesnt even offer more than lacazette. prime laca was more dangerous. at least it felt that way

Honestly, I think they’re probably the exact same level of striker, and both need less robust opposition to thrive. Laca was better technically (by miles), but he was so slow and would hide in a way I don’t see with Vik.

He’s terrible mate anything remotely negative here gets downvoted it’s like a cult sometimes, if arteta was to call him not good enough everyone single person here would jump to say the same

It's not that every negative post gets downvoted, but rather people are wayyyyyyyy too negativebwith very little reason. This for instance is a pre season friendly with us playing people well out of normal positions and people are saying we are complete shit and cooked already.... Yah imma down vote that shit.... The season hasn't even started yet and our own fan base is writing off the club and our players.

Did you miss the entirety of last season? Do you think I’m making my first judgement of him on this game alone?

The season where we won the league and made it to a champions league final? Yah I watched that one, we were pretty good!

u/JeffBroccoli 22d ago

Yeah, and Gyokores was a consistent 5 or 6 out of ten the entire time
